Continuing with our current obsession with linen, we'd like to share with you a super simple sewing project that makes a really great gift or addition to any kitchen. This half apron is customizable for your specific needs, and is a great item for any cook. We love having a place to clean our hands while we're cooking, and the lining on this apron makes keeping the front clean easy! It's the perfect apron if you don't have to worry about oil splatter on your top half, just enough protection and wiping space for typical cooking. Click more to see the full tutorial! We made this half apron for someone that is very serious in the kitchen, so we considered function as well as beauty in this project. We wanted something sturdy, as items like aprons can make it to the wash more often than other garments. We also wanted it to look beautiful, and we love an apron that ties in the front so we made extra long straps. The exterior is made using a Robert Kaufman linen/cotton blend that has a coarser texture than many blends -- we love this for durability. The liner uses a vintage bed sheet for the material, a fun floral that is soft for wiping the hands. Materials: 1 yard linen or linen/cotton blend 2/3 yard lining cotton Thread Process: 1. Cut materials From exterior fabric: Cut one 28" by 21" rectangle for the main body. You can adjust here based on your desired width/length. You'll need to account for 2 inches of fold-over on each side, and 2 inches on the bottom for the hem when adjusting measurements. Cut two 4" by 36" strips for the straps. Cut one 13" by 20" rectangle for the front pocket. From lining fabric: Cut one 26" by 21" rectangle. 2. Prepare pocket Iron down the two short sides of your 13" by 20" pocket piece, 1/2" with the iron. Press down another 1/2" to create a closed rolled hem on the sides. Repeat on two long sides, creating a closed hem on all 4 sides. Stitch closed all the way around close to the interior hem edge to secure the hem flap down (DO NOT attach to main body yet). You will just have one line of stitching about 1/2" in from the edge here. 3. Attach pocket to main body Center the pocket on your main body piece, approximately 5" from either side edge. Pin in place, approximately 4-5" from the top of the apron. Using a disappearing ink marker, draw a line to show where you want your pocket separated -- we did one down to the center to create two large pockets. Stitch pocket to the main body piece, keeping your stitching close to the exterior edge of the pocket piece and going around the side, bottom, and other side of the pocket. Stitch down your pocket separation line, too, making sure you backstitch twice over the pocket top, each time you reach the top. We finished the pocket edge with two diagonal stitch lines, to further secure the opening from ripping stitches (see photo). 4. Prepare main body Iron down 1" on two short sides of the main body fabric. Make sure they are pressed heavily. Lay lining material right side up on the back of your exterior piece, edges should rest just along the ironed crease. Fold over the side edges (lining and main fabric) in once more 1" and press with the iron, encasing the lining fabric into the rolled hem on the two short sides. Pin to prepare for sewing. With the iron, press in the bottom of your apron hem, folding over 1" twice to encase the lining with the main fabric. Iron down & pin to prepare for sewing. Stitch down your 1" hem on all three sides, staying close to the flap opening, approximately 1" from the apron edge. Follow around all three sides again, this time staying close to the exterior edge, making two parallel stitch lines around the sides and bottom of your apron. 5. Prepare straps Join the two strap pieces on one 4" side, stitching right sides together with a 1/4" seam allowance. Finish with scalloped or pinking shears. At the iron, fold each short (4") side of your long strip in 1/2" toward the wrong side, and press. This will close the end seams. Next, press your strap piece in half lengthwise, wrong sides touching, all the way down the long strip, making a center crease. Open the flap, and iron down each long side 1/2" toward the center crease to tuck in the edges. Fold in half completely lengthwise, and you will have a binding strip. 6. Attach straps Center your strap on your apron, using the seam you used to attach the two strap pieces as your center guide. Fold over the top of the apron, completely enclosing the top raw edges. Pin to prepare for sewing. Pin all the way down the straps, making sure the open ends match up evenly. Beginning at one end of your strap, topstitch the short end closed, then pivot around the corner to continue stitching down the open end of your binding strip/strap piece. Follow it all the way down, attaching to the apron and finishing off the open ends on the other side. You may choose to go all the way around the strap piece, stitching across the top edge as well, to make sure it won't separate when washed. Voila! Your apron is done!

You could make this apron in plaid as indicated or it would be just as cute in floral or novelty fabric. Previous sewing experience will be helpful. However, if the instructions are followed carefully even a beginner could tackle this sewing project. The instructions are printed here. The "How to Make Patterns" description follows the pattern diagrams below. Pattern diagrams to draft. Each square represents 1": The following information will help you to draft your patterns.

I love aprons. There are so many fun styles of aprons to make and so many cute fabrics to work with. When selecting my projects for my sewing classes this semester, I wanted to choose a project that
Back in the summer of 2010, I did a guest post on another blog sharing a tutorial for sewing an apron. I did the introductory post on my blog with a link to the tutorial. That post on the other blog is no longer available, so the link is broken. I've had a few requests in the comment section of my original post to re-post the apron instructions here on my own blog. I didn't have the full tutorial, but I went back and found all the old pictures. I've written the new tutorial, so I wanted to share it with you today!! I called the apron a 2*10 Apron. Why 2*10? Well, you only need 2 fat quarters and only takes 10 minutes to make!! Further down this post is another option for a 3*10 apron with a pocket. It's reversible too!! Here are the two fat quarters. What's a Fat Quarter you ask? If you aren't familiar with the quilting term, you can click HERE. If you don't have fat quarters, you will cut 2 pieces of fabric at 18 inches by 22 inches. Place fabrics right sides together. Sew and all the way around with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Leave an opening on the bottom for turning. Snip the corners to reduce the fabric bulk in the corners. Turn right side out through the opening. I use a chop stick to poke out the corners. Iron the seams and corners. You can close the opening with a hand whip stitch or... just sew it on the machine. Now to make the waist band... Decide which fabric (mine would be either the green or the purple) you want to be used for the waist band and fold that side over . The green fabric is my back side fabric folded over to the front. I folded it over about 2 inches. Do more or less according to the width of your ribbon. I just like the "look" of the 2 inch band. Pin to secure for sewing. Sew close to the edge. This will create a tunnel for the ribbon. Now take your ribbon cut to the length you need for your waist plus extra for tying and attach a safety pin to the end. Run the ribbon through the waist band using the safety pin to guide you through the length of the apron. Done!!! Seriously 10 minutes or less. Two tone waist band. or the reverse side that is all one fabric. You can also scrunch up the apron for a gathered look. So many fabric combinations for every occasion, season or holiday. This is a watermelon seed fabric, perfect for summer picnics! Cut an extra long ribbon to have it come around from the back and tie in the front. Now for the 3*10 Apron Tutorial...with 3 fat quarters. The extra FQ is for the pocket!! If you are using a pre-cut fat quarter, you will be cutting it in half. Cut it in half to give you a piece that is 9 inches by 22 inches. The second piece will be extra, but maybe you can make a pot holder out of it to match the apron!! Take the top edge of the piece (the long 22 inch edge) and turn it down about 1/2 inch. Then fold it over again. Sew close to the edge. Now place that piece on top of one of your fat quarter pieces, both right sides facing UP and the hemmed edge where my finger is. Next, you will find the center of the pocket piece and mark it with a pin. Sew a straight line from the top of the pocket to the bottom to make a divided pocket with 2 pouches. Now place the second fat quarter on top of every thing with right sides together. You will follow the same instructions for sewing all the way around with 1/4 inch seam, except leave the opening on the side instead of the bottom where the pocket is. Turn right side out, make waist band and then run the ribbon through, same as the other apron. Here it is with 2 great pockets!! I hope you enjoy this easy tutorial. Thank you to the ladies who let me know the other tutorial was no longer available. These aprons are easy to make and use up small pieces of fabric from our stashes. If you have a church group, quilt guild, PTA group, craft group etc that can get together and "assembly line" these, you can make so many in such a short time. They are great gifts for... teachers quilt guilds neighbors craft fairs sewing bees friends and family Have fun with this!! Happy sewing, ~Karen~

There is just something charming about aprons. Just looking at them brings back warm memories of delicious smells coming from the kitchen. Yesterday I was looking through a vintage sewing pattern book and found the patterns for these two little sweethearts. The vintage pattern book isn't dated but the designs look very 1930s to me. As you can see from the description, the directions call for the aprons to be made with oil cloth, but any pretty cotton fabric will do. You'll have to do a little drafting to enlarge the pattern, but it's pretty straight forward after that. This half apron would be perfect for either crafts or gardening. The appliqué is charming and you could embroider a cute design on any of them for a personalized look. One of the things that I love about my large vintage pattern book collection is discovering the treasures within. So many of them are from a thrifty time, this one from the 1930s is a prime example. "Make Do or Do Without," as the saying goes. Enjoy making aprons from these vintage apron patterns, they'll look just as good today as they did then!
