Development of ideas: Apron

To start developing my apron design, I drew the outline of a woman's body. I chose to depict a woman because research shows (target market blog post)  that 81% of customers in the souvenir market are women. I used a Sketchbook app to draw the outline of the body. 

In my project, I want to emphasize simple and practical design for my aprons. I aim for them to be useful in everyday tasks like cooking or for artistic activities. I'm considering adding pockets that can store small items, depending on the purpose. For artistic use, I'm thinking about including compartments in the pockets to hold narrow tools like brushes or cutting tools. 

The materials used in the production of aprons will prioritize environmental friendliness. In today's fast fashion era, there's a growing popularity of organic cotton due to its sustainability. As a biodegradable natural fabric, conventional cotton is indeed more eco-friendly than synthetic fibres. However, organic cotton fabric takes sustainability a step further. Organically grown and processed cotton reduces landfill waste and pollution (Parachute Home, n.d.).
