New shop apron.

Last Friday when I went out back into the shop to see our shop man about something.... I remarked...You need a new apron....Bring me this one when you leave for the day and I will see what I can do.
I thought it was us ladies who normally fix everything with duct tape...

 I took this one home with me so that I could measure and so I could also use the belt that was on it to put on a new one.
This is what I made on Friday night after I had done all our laundry and grocery shopping.  This morning he came in and had the leather pieces transferred over to this one.  With his handling sheet metal this will save his jeans from getting cut.  After I made this one he told me I didn't need to put the pockets on it....So the next one that I make will not have the pockets....We also need to find a big strip of leather to glue on the front of it all the way up so that it doesn't cut the fabric or his jeans when he handles all the sheet metal in making all the fittings for the duct work.
