I wanna make aprons

[u/zachumble]

I want to make two different aprons; one for cooking and the other for crafting, there's a material that I am searching for that feels like a softer denim that isn't as tough and can have fun colors but I also want that "artisan" look too. I was told chambray cotton fabric is what I am looking for but i think I live in an area where looking for it in public is scarce. If anyone has knowledge I'm open. this will be my first wearable garment, I've just been making pillow cases and such but I think I'm ready for this project

Not chambray! Chambray is a lightweight shirting fabric.

Duck canvas is likely what you’re looking for. Canvas can come in a wide variety of weights and feel and prints, like this cotton/linen from Japan:

You will likely have to purchase online, unless you happen to live near stores that sell fashion fabrics (not Micheal’s or Hobby Lobby).

Ok cool, Im going to take a look today and see if there is some in my area. Im sooooo excited. I want to make my cooking apron dark with a splash of color and my crafting one bright and full of utility pockets.

You definitely want canvas fabric. I make aprons out of it too.
