Book of Aprons for Men
This great book includes 16 patterns for utilitarian aprons. The title suggests these are for men, but we think these are just as great for women! Apron styles include: worker, carpenter, painter, surplus, survival, camp, walking, gardening, reversible, craftsman, stenciled, kitchen, cook, sakaya, garçon, and sommelier. This book does not include a full-size pattern sheet, but does illustrate pattern piece dimensions and cutting layout diagrams.
Note that the book is written in Japanese, but patterns and schematics are included. Crafters who cannot read Japanese but who have some sewing experience are usually able to interpret the instructions without any trouble, and others can use the projects as inspiration for their own creations.
