The film shows the simplest construction route, and doesn't cover hardware. The apron is designed to be built exactly as filmed — but if you want buckles or sliders on the straps, go for it. Those are covered in the Keystone Denims and Keystone Shorts films.

Fabric

What to make it in

Duck canvas
Workwear canvas
Heavy cotton drill
Midweight canvas
Denim or cotton twill for lighter versions

Weights and sourcing are in the materials list that comes with the pattern.

The files

What arrives

FormatsA0, A4 and US Letter
SizesNot layered yet — every size prints together
Seam a/w¼″ already included — cut on the line
Also insidePanel labels, notches, cutting layout, materials list
LayeringLayered sizing is being added pattern by pattern — Gio and I are working through them in priority order. Every new release has it from the start.

Never printed a pattern before? The print & tiling guide covers it in about twenty minutes.

Before you cut

Measure the 2″ test square first. It's the only thing that goes wrong, and the only thing you can't undo. Print at 100%, from a laptop rather than a phone.

Buy a little more fabric than you need, and run the tricky part once in something cheap before you touch the good stuff.

Never made a pattern before? Start with the free ones — they're the same system, no risk.

Not a help desk — me, on WhatsApp, usually the same day. Missing files, printing trouble, or a seam that isn't behaving.
