HMS Pinafore ?

That stands for His Men's Shed Pinafore. Much progress has been made in the last few hours.

Two machines on the go - one to embroider logos, the other to stitch them in place. I wanted a very simple design.

I used the selvedge cut from the 50cm wide lengths. But where to put them? Bib or pocket? I asked for help...

Steph and Kirsten agreed the pocket. 
On the bib it looks like a staff uniform.
Kirsten suggested at right angles. 
Brilliant. 
BBQ Apron Design done 

But in future, sew logo on pocket before assembling, for ease of construction! Now I have to make loads more before Saturday when the Shed gazebo will be up at the Village Hall as part of the community VJ Day Celebrations

  10. That is a great use of the fabric. Lovely big pockets, and the pinnies are good for men or women to wear, too.

    1. Retired gentlemen plus power tools and inflammable wood...all high risk! But the ShedMen are very good at following correct procedures for Health and Safety
