Well, Maybe never finished, but it&#8217;s reached the stage where I&#8217;ve done all I intended to do and any further work would be sheer wanton embellishment. This is a project developed by India Flint and offered as a course in her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiaflint.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">School of Nomad Arts<\/a>. The apron repurposes an old linen shirt, using the back of the shirt as a bib and the plackets as straps. The sleeves of course are turned into pockets.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavily embroidered bib, which took forever, as I really procrastinated on finishing it.<\/li>\n<li>Light-catching white buttons bordering the bib, with one special floral bouquet button and one tiny button in deep green.<\/li>\n<li>Interior bib patch of dyed silk noil embroidered with a secret word &#8220;entrance&#8221; and embellished with a brass button. Floral embroidery came through from the front to the back, making this patch look rather jungly. The word &#8220;entrance&#8221; came from India Flint, who reveled in its double meaning.<\/li>\n<li>Rear hip pockets made from the ends of the sleeves, retaining the button closures for safekeeping any contents tucked in there.<\/li>\n<li>Front pockets are double layered. They can be entered from the sides or the top.<\/li>\n<li>Pockets were dyed with turmeric &#8220;coins&#8221; for prosperity.<\/li>\n<li>Trinket lines bordering the front pockets. The denim scraps were rebel-stitched, then a few saved trinkets were attached with blanket-stitched lengths of thread, so they dangle prettily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5421.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7726\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5421.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5421-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5421-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5422.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7725\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5422.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5422-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5422-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5423.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7721\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5423.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5423-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5423-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5424.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7722\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5424.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5424-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5424-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5425.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7723\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5425.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5425-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5426.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7724\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5426.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5426-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My alchemist&#8217;s apron is finished!
