The apron sounds like a gr8 idea! Pics?
I use a small plastic basket to hold my "stuff". I also have a 3 drawer roll around cart with fabric, threads ect.... that I can roll over to the table. Sure saves jumping up & down when I need something.

I have all the proper things but my sewing room is the Den, family room or whatever when family comes. You add 3-4 other people picking up, using & laying down your stuff & it becomes chaotic quick. Maybe if I require signing out & in as they come & go, they'd be in sight when everybody left. Amazingly the 6 year old can find stuff for us when somebody says "Where's the ????"

Here is the apron, it's patterned from my husband's tool belt, only padded with fusible fleece. the pocket for sharp things has a film cannister in the bottom so I don't stab myself.

My duct tape double "Venus" wears her when I am not working.

Oh! Hey I like that! Venus is the perfect model too.

I have some pink & white narrow striped denim that would make a gr8 apron. Fusible fleece I don't have.

Dee (scribbling furiously on her sewing notions list)

Wow, great idea! Love the apron. Does Venus have a cover? If so, did you make it? I'd like to cover my Dritz dressmaker's form b/c it's at its widest adjustment and has big gaps, but don't quite know what to do.

keepem: I used navy blue tubular stretch jersey and just slipped it over her- gathering it at the neck. I can pin into the jersey and even into the duct tape filled with batting.

and dee the fusible fleece helps give the apron body and you dont have small items get lost. I went wild with the work apron thing and even have one for cleaning house... but that one I bought from the Clean Team.

I volunteer in a library part time and made a work apron for there too to hold scissors pencils cards tape etc.

I think one might be a great gift for a preschool or kindergarten teacher. hmmm. maybe I will make some for selling. How should I price them?

Like your apron, I have one for the garden, as far as my sewing room, I call it organized chaos rene
