Make an apron in 15 min (Tutorial)

Welcome to my 15 min maybe 25 min apron tutorial.

Step 1 gather supplies

Scissors

pins

sewing machine

matching thread

1yard of fabric( works best with non directional fabric)
3 yards double folded bias tape Quilt binding

Scrap fabric for the pocket

lace and other trims you might like.

Step 2

Fold fabric in half right sides together.

then start sewing one of the short sides.

Then the other short side.

You now should have a wide opening on the top

turn the fabric right side out.

Then press.

set aside for now.

Step 3 pocket

Take your scrap fabric and fold in half wrong sides showing.

then cut the a square any size you would like.

Next sew the squares together leaving a small opening on the bottom so that you can turn it right sides out.

Then you turn the fabric makeing sure you poke the corners of the square.

Next you press it and then add any lace or other trim you want.

Step 4 sewing the pocket to the skirt of the apron.

Now take the rectangle or the skirt of the apron and pin the pocket any were you want.

I never like the pockets strait so I always angel it.

Make sure you have the pocket opening facing the top of the apron.

The top of the apron is where you left the opening to turn the apron skirt

After you have pinned it sew the pocket as close to the edge as you can. Don't for get to back stitch at the top to reinforce the pocket.

Step 5 Pinning the bias tape on the apron

The bias tape will sever as your waist band and your ties for the apron.

Take the bias tape out of the package and the find the middle place a pin in the middle

Next take the Apron skirt and do the same .

After you have found the middle of both the Bias tape and the apron skirt look at bias tape to determine witch is the side is shorter .

Then you will open the bias tape and put the back part of the apron against the big part of the bias tape.

Make sure that you have matched the middles, take out the pins then re-close the bias tape making sure the small side is on the front

then put as many pins as you need to pin the bias tape to the top of the aprons skirt.

Step 6 sewing the bias tape on to the apron

Now that you have the bias tape pinned take the end that will allow you to sew on the front of the skirt and start at that end

start sewing the bias tape together holding your fabric away from the needle so you wont catch it.

Make sure you sew all the way until the other end of the bias tape. Then tie a knot at each end when you are done . I am not sure why other than that it looks good.

After you are done sewing the bias tape to the skirt you might want to top stitch around the sides and the bottom of the apron to make it look more finished.(It's not necessary it just looks good in my opinion.)

Step 7 adding Trim

at this point the apron is done so is you just want to be finished just press it and wear it or give it away.

But if you want to add trim you can just simply add what ever trim you want to the bottom sides or where ever you want.. Then you will need to iron your apron and you will be done.

(Tip you can also add trim when you are putting on the pocket..)
