I Made an Egg Gathering Apron

And I LOVE it! Each square is a pocket. Anyone else here have any crochet or knit things for their chickens?

Wow, That’s beautiful! I crochet a little bit and you inspired me to make one of those did you follow a particular pattern or video?

I used a written pattern from etsy. It's called the Boho Granny Egg Gathering Apron by ThomsonFarms. ^_^

Lovely!! I don't sew. Or craft. Or crochet. But I bought an egg apron for my kid of eBay lol. It doesn't have as many pockets as yours. Maybe some day I will learn to sew-I have some fabric and a sewing machine and an egg apron might be a good starter project! Sure beats stuffing them in my pockets lol

That looks super functional, and like it was fun to make - about how long did it take from start to finish?

I thought about making one from an old pizza hut apron I found. I would sew pockets out of an old t shirt.

It took about two and a half days, working on it in the evenings. The 24 squares took the longest, since I had to weave in all the ends. The waistband and join only took an evening and half a morning. All told it was probably about six hours of work.
