Beginners Sewing Japanese Cross Back Apron Workshop

Japanese Cross Back Apron

The Japanese cross-back apron is one of those makes that looks far more complicated than it is — no ties to fumble with at the back, two generous front pockets, and the kind of clean utilitarian shape that works in the kitchen, the garden, or the studio. Lauren Holloway guides you through making one from scratch in a full day at New Brewery Arts.

You'll cover pattern cutting, interfacing, overlocker use, seam varieties, and finishing techniques — skills that transfer well beyond this one project.

Bring 1.5–2 metres of your own fabric (cotton, linen, denim, or a blend, pre-washed); machines and tools are provided. A little prior sewing experience helps but this is still entry-level territory.

£100 for the day.
