Here is an easy apron even if you aren’t a seamstress. Because the tea towel is already hemmed, much of the sewing work is already done.
Find center and mark with a pin. Measure 3” on either side of the center pin and mark.
Measure
down 10” on each side and mark with pins.
Fold from the top pin to the side pin on each side and press.
Measure
and mark a ¾” seam allowance from the folds.
Cut away.
Serge
on this line, re-press and topstitch.
Repeat for other side.
I found this towel a little too long for my 5
year old so I blind hemmed the bottom. I
didn’t really like so much white showing anyways. I had to add my sewing label, of course!
Cut
3” wide strips of fabric to total 75” long for one continuous tie for a 4 to 6
year old child. No need to cut on the
bias. Click HERE to see how to join the
strips.
Press
in half then press each half to the center.
Topstitch
both long sides.
Zigzag across ends.
Feed
the tie starting at one side of the apron.
Continue
feeding the ties down the other side.
Tie
knots in each end so the tie won’t pull out.
Cut
a piece of fabric 10” by 12”.
With
right sides together, fold to make a piece 5” x 12”.
Sew
right sides together with ¼” seam allowance leaving an opening to turn.
Clip
corners, turn and press. Topstitch
across the top of the pocket – the opposite end of the opening – I think I
forgot to do this! Find the center of
the apron across from the ties.
Lightly
press a center line on the pocket. Pin to apron.
Topstitch
on to apron.
Sew
down center of the pocket.
