I've watched a few egg apron vids by different people now and this is still my favourite. Watching this again today after watching a couple of your shop tour vids made me wonder if you've thought of making carpenter-type aprons - you could display them along the tool section in your shop, or the kid's toys section. I know it might be hard to find fabric sturdy enough for an adult's one, but I reckon kid-sized ones would make great gifts to pair with kids carpentry tool sets... What do you think, Christine?

@ChristinesHomeAffairs 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Valerie. Pricing is a tough one for this. I usually don't charge for fabric as I get most of mine for free, and I'm always preaching about charging people what your time is worth. I plan to try $50 AU for mine which would cover about $15-$20 fabric, and the rest is labour. 😀

@geenettie58 7 ай бұрын

Love this! You mentioned the paper template is 43 inches long but the fabric pocket piece is 42 inches long. How does it work out? I'm stuck.

@ChristinesHomeAffairs 7 ай бұрын

Jeanette, the last edges just get attached to the side of the apron. It won't hurt that the fabric is shorter than the paper😀

I made several 12 pocket aprons last year to sell at a craft show in Nov. I didn't sell any of them. I also made some for children and I didn't sell any of those either. I was very disappointed

@ChristinesHomeAffairs 2 жыл бұрын

That is disappointing Sheila. I've cut out enough for two, and will give them a go in the shop, but not very hopeful as I think I have to put too high a price on them to make a profit 😄

@iowacorndogs302 Жыл бұрын

I loved this idea, and so am in the middle of making it. I was careful to follow your measurements exactly with the template, but when finished making the pockets, my fabric strips were only 18 inches! Did anyone else have this problem?

@iowacorndogs302 Жыл бұрын

Okay, never mind. I figured it out. I somehow forgot a pocket! 🤦‍♀ Will take a little bit, but I think I can fix it without having to start over.

@ChristinesHomeAffairs Жыл бұрын

I hope you've got it sorted. If not, try adding some extra length to the fabric to make the extra pocket. With the pleats in, it shouldn't be noticed 😀

@arvettadelashmit9337 2 жыл бұрын

Until today I had never heard of a Egg Harvesting 12 pocket collecting apron. I am wondering what else this could be used for? It is a very pretty apron. I had to use an egg basket (butt shaped basket) and a little straw (or grass) when I was a girl and had to gather the eggs. A collecting apron would not have worked for me then; because, I had to climb to reach the nesting boxes. I was always scared that one of the hens would peck me in an eye.
