Carpenter Apron, Selvedge Denim, versions 1 - 4

Trying out a few different ways of making these. 

Also got to test out my new Independent Garment Workers label.  Pretty much the same as the early 20th C. union label, but I re-designed it for independent workers such as myself.

Ingredients:  North Carolina denim, North Carolina thread.

Custom Vest

This one is for a fellers' wedding next week. 

Not only did the vest turn out very well, but the person I made it for was just downright great to work with.  I feel very fortunate that I've had several folks come to me as customers and leave as friends.
