I do wish it had more pencil slots and the large straps are elastic (think suspenders) and not regular straps.
I don't like the elastic but I suppose that if the straps wear out before the apron I could replace them easily enough.
I can also sew my own additional slots.
BTW... what's up with the sig line? Is that me?
I have a Duluth apron, slightly different configuration. It has held up well.

women have trouble understanding Trump's MAGA theme because they had so little involvement in making America great the first time around.

I'm a total nerd, of course, but I really like these. I wear them day-to-day in the shop even when not in period dress. Inexpensive but not cheap. I have four that I rotate; two of them have a folding rule pocket sewed on.

It isn't required to complete the projects in the book but it does help...

I have this apron. It works well and I'm pretty happy with it. It stays relatively clean as well.
