You all probably know how much I adore my aprons!
I decided to whip up a version of my own using some of my fabric stash…
and came up with
this:
Here’s how:
** Gather some fabrics that go together but
don’t MATCH exactly.
{I personally think the end result is
MORE FUN
when you mix it up!}
* Select your base lining size (mine was leftover cotton from another project)
* Cut rectangles of the 3 ruffle fabrics
(1 1/2 times as wide as your lining piece)
* Hem 3 sides of each of these
(one long side and the two short sides)
* Gather the top side of each of these ruffle pieces
* Pin the bottom ruffle piece to the bottom of the lining piece
* Sew that bottom ruffle on with a topstitch
* Determine where you want your second ruffle to be attached so that it overlaps the top of the bottom ruffle a bit
* Pin and Sew it On
* Same for your top ruffle piece
* Cut three long pieces of fabric for your waistband and each apron string
* Press each apron string in half the long way to make a long tube
*Sew along the long side and one end and turn right side out
*Sew the apron strings to the SIDE of your top layer piece
* Press your waistband piece wrong sides together (turn the long edges under 1/4 inch & press for a built in hem)
* Place this over the top of your top ruffle layer and over the apron string connections
* Topstitch in place
Now put on your apron, feel super cute and domestic, go make a cake, and flirt with your hubby!
{He’ll now officially think aprons are HOT!! }
{tee hee!!}
I adore the look of an apron wrapped around to skirt a chair
Go be sassy and
wear an apron!
