Announcement
My products always come wrapped in kraft paper and red twine at no extra cost. If you purchase multiple items, let me know if you need them wrapped individually.
For my people, the makers and the pilots of the world, I construct bags, work aprons, and tool rolls using natural, sturdy materials. I use only waxed and plain canvas and fine natural-fiber fabrics (but no leather). Designs come from classic sewn equipment such as the sailor's ditty bag, the woodworker's tool roll, and the incredible array of military canvas goods produced by factories full of working women for the war effort of World War II. As a one-person shop with a full schedule, I am not able to do custom work.

5 out of 5 starsFantastic quality, shipped out immediately, and looks great! I have an outdoor workshop in Florida and the humid summer air has been wreaking havoc on my tools. But now at least my gouges will be well protected.

5 out of 5 starsWell worth the money! This is the perfect tool roll. Made from good, sturdy waxed canvas, it provides protection for my chisels and looks amazing when rolled up. Perfect for storing or transporting tools. I'm delighted with it!

5 out of 5 starsTop quality apron! My husband is very happy with it... he loves the pockets and says the straps are comfortable enough to wear all day. And top notch Etsy shop to deal with, too... she took very good care of us when the package was lost/delayed in shipping. Thank you SO much, Janet!!

5 out of 5 starsMy son is a carver. We gave this apron to him for Christmas. He absolutley loved it. The quality of this carving apron is excellent. The material is thick. The waxed surface is nice. It's nice that it is adjustable. The front can be made longer if he wants to use his thigh for close hand carving. The shop was pleasant to work with. I had a question about sizing and got a quick, helpful response. If I am ever in need of a quality carving supply gift again this will be the first place I go!

Practicality and good looks
I'm a bit of a tomboy, with a degree in geology/geography. I've ridden motorcycles, been a mapmaker, contemplated becoming a camp cook, built a straw-bale house and a log house, worked in a greenhouse. I ride a recumbent trike and am thinking of taking flying lessons. Frilly doesn't suit me. The fabrics I choose are meant to proudly and confidently go outside.
Frequently I get ideas from canvas gear that survives from World War II. They didn't use plastic in those days so I resist it in my own designs.
Except for the Camp Robber Air stickers, I don't outsource any of my design or production. My husband John assists with critiques and with setting up my equipment. A significant portion of my supplies comes from other Etsy sellers.

Gift wrapping and packaging
All orders are wrapped informally with kraft paper and tied with either red cotton twine or natural hemp twine, as available.
Care instructions
Waxed canvas should never be washed because that will remove the wax. Instead, hose it off, damp wipe it, vacuum it, or brush it. Eventually the wax will become worn and should be reapplied (a simple process).
White cotton canvas will become "dirty" - there is no way around that! I suggest that you embrace this natural process! Contact me if you would like me to pre-grubby a white canvas item by rubbing blacksmith's coal on it.
Custom and personalized orders
Not available.
Sizing details
Apron sizes correspondent reasonably closely to men's tee shirt sizing.
Items lost in mail
If postal tracking indicates a package has been delivered, and it is addressed to the address the buyer gave me, and in spite of all this you have not received the package, contact your post office. I take no responsibility for refunding or replacing the item.
