From Wednesday 14th March AliMac aprons will be available to see and buy at 'RooM', interior design on Abbeydale Road, Sheffield, UK.
 https://www.roomsheffield.co.uk/
​The shop is open Wednesday to Saturday. I will have a range of styles and sizes for you to try. Please get in touch if you want something specific or visit my sales page on Etsy. 

RooM Interiors roominteriorssheffield.com/ on Abbeydale Road, Sheffield now stocks AliMacDesignsUK aprons in 3 distinct styles- plain, split skirt and the new Japanese cross over back.

I dusted down my Grandma's attache case (c.1940's) and loaded it with some of my latest art and split skirt aprons to make a quick film for Instagram. It has had more hits than hot dinners this year. Take a look... 

 This year starts well with 60 Etsy sales and twelve 5* reviews!  All quite remarkable as I stumbled into this through the collision of change, chance and opportunity. Evidently, I am an 'older-preneur' and I wear the badge with amused pride.
Anyway, the hot news is I have 'start-up' trader stall at the International Earth and Fire Ceramics Fair on 22nd -24th June at Wellbeck, Notts, UK. www.earthandfire.co.uk/ This is very exciting and I am very honoured. On 8th and 9th September I will be at the Pots and Food Festival at Wardlow Mires, Derbyshire which is a fabulous collection of potters and culinary creatives selected by Pat Fuller. It is such a warm and uplifting gathering of people in the heart of the country - a grand day out. Check it out and hope to see you there! www.potsandfood.co.uk/
And here's a  picture of the latest AliMacdesignsUK. It's snowing outside but I hope you are cosy and enjoying the New Year!

Thank you for stopping by!
This has been an year of transformation - setting up as an Etsy trader. From June to date my AliMacDesignsUK site on Etsy has had 1,464 visits with 4,519 page views resulting in 47 order of over 50 products. Recent purchases have been Scotland, New York, Belgium and the Netherlands.
I have had some good conversations across the Etsy-sphere and feel connected to fellow fabric connoisseurs and creatives across the globe. Over the holiday break I will be thinking through and making a BESPOKE reversible apron for a client 'across the water'. I will enjoy putting that unique piece together knowing it is going to a good home!
Have a lovely Christmas.

Christmas wrapping service!
For £5 you can have your apron wrapped in a Christmassy TEA TOWEL and cellophane!
It can be sent direct to your recipient with a message of good cheer. How cool is that?

Groovy and crazy creative print in Java wax! Some exciting aprons will be coming to the Etsy shop soon. Get in touch if you need a bespoke apron just for you.

 On the 9th September at Wardlow Mires, Derbyshire we braved the lash of the rain and spatter of  mud to enjoy the first ever AliMacDesigns stall at the www.potsandfood.co.uk/ festival. It was great! So many gifted potters and a family vibe: a truly unique connection of creative people.
