536 – Work Apron & Tool Belt Pattern

I just finished making this pattern out of duck canvas, and it's a pretty great apron. I probably should have used thinner material for the back side, because sewing through all that canvas was a bit of a bear on my old Kenmore 385, so my topstitching didn't come out as neatly as I would have liked. Once I released the foot pressure a little bit, I got through it. Oh well, it's still functional and will be fine for the shop.

One thing I will say is that if you do the shoulder strap option, you probably want a bit more webbing -- I am large guy and the 23" shoulder straps were too small to cross behind my back. My workaround is to not cross them, but I will probably sew on some extra lengths of webbing later. Otherwise the pattern was great!
