Meet Pablo – the 3-piece beginner-friendly sewing pattern that’s equal parts potter’s apron and effortless city wear.
Perfect for beginners, Pablo is made from just three pattern pieces, making it a quick and satisfying project. Designed with ceramicists in mind, it offers full coverage to protect your clothes while you work at the wheel – yet its flattering, wrap-style silhouette and comfortable fit make it just as perfect for a stroll in the city, paired with sandals or clogs.

Pablo features two front darts and four back darts for gentle shaping, combining functionality with style. I first created Pablo in 2020 for my own wardrobe – I wanted something I could throw over my swimsuit in summer or legging in winter for natural dyeing projects. It needed to feel like an apron, but with enough coverage to greet visitors, and like overalls, but quick to slip on, off ...

Originally not meant for release, Pablo quickly turned heads, sparking the inevitable question: “Where did you buy it?” That’s when I knew it was time to share it with the world.

FABRIC:

• Fabric: Light to medium-weight warp and weft fabric, such as linen or ramie. Avoid fabric that is too fluid like viscose or fabric too stiff and rigid like denim Pablo was designed with linen or cotton/linen bend in mind. Careful: the wrong side of the fabric will be visible at the bib.  
• The protoypes are made from antique linen bed sheets naturally dyed and patch with sashiko style embroidery or made from 100% organic cotton tea towel fabric.
