American apron artist Marissa Solini will also showcase her classic cover-up looks in what will be her first international exhibition. 

The call is out for people to join in stitching their love of sewing, baking and nostalgia together in the apron-making competition. The prospect of winning champion apron honours has been crafting interest interstate and across the region.

Apron competition categories are: Australian animal;  atompunk/retrofuturism; wearable art; vintage/heritage style; sustainable materials; and, technology: over the past 100 years.

This year’s festival will embrace technology and feature a range of vintage, modern and competition apron displays, focusing on variety and the people who wear them.

Ballarat Apron Festival, connecting with Ballarat Heritage Festival, is  at St Patrick’s Cathedral hall, May 26-27. Details to enter: ballaratapronfestival.org.
