Can you believe it?... I'm finally getting around to doing a tutorial on my apron water bottle/soda covers. I have had sooo many requests for this tutorial ever since I started my blog... today it feels good to finally be doing it:) I can't tell you how many of these little cuties that I've sewn over the years... well into the hundreds I'm sure. I first posted about them a long time ago... if you are new to my blog... you can read all about them by clicking here. For my aprons today... I chose to use two cute japanese fabrics from my stash. It just takes 1 - 6" square of fabric for one apron... and 2 - 1 1/2"x 3 1/2" for the pockets. But I usually make more than one at a time... and today I am making 4! If you want to make them with me... you will need my pattern so here is a free download! All you will need to make 4 aprons are... 2 - 10" squares of fabric that coordinate 4 yards of 1/4" bias tape (double fold) Thread to match bias tape. I think this is a great way to use up leftover 10" squares:) I like to trace my aprons and pockets onto freezer paper and iron them onto the fabric so that I don't need to use pins. I think sometimes the pins can distort small fabric pieces and this way I can get a more accurate cut. Cut 2 aprons and 4 pockets out of one square and peel off the freezer paper... Iron the freezer paper patterns onto the other square and cut out two more aprons and 4 more pockets. Each apron uses one yard of bias tape. Now you're ready to roll! Using one yard of the bias tape... cut a 2" long piece... a 10" long piece... and fold the remaining in half and place a pin in the center. *NOTE - When sewing with double folded bias tape, use matching thread an remember that the shorter side of the fold always goes on the top. Step 1: Fold the 2" piece over the top of the apron. You won't need to pin... just go ahead and top stitch into place about 1/8" from the edge of the bias tape. No backstitching needed at this point. Step 2: Fold the 10" piece of bias tape around the bottom curved edge of the apron. Topstitch into place. Again, do not add bulk by backstitching. Trim the ends of the bias tape even with the edges of the apron. Step 3: Pin the remaining piece of bias tape onto the top side and bottom side corners of apron...folding it around the inside curves when pinning. Leave a loop long enough at the top for the neck of the apron. (refer to the download pattern to see how big to make the loop) Now go ahead and topstitch the bias tape together starting at the end of the left apron tie and continue stitching. When you reach each pin...remove it and continue stitching the bias tape to the inside curves of the apron...continue on stitching the neck...then the next inside curve and on until you reach the end of the right apron tie. Don't forget to backstitch at the beginning and end of each tie. Finished apron without pockets:) Now for the pockets... Press each pocket in half with right sides together. It should now measure 1 1/2" x 1 3/4". Press about 1/4" under the 3 raw edges leaving the folded edge for the top of the pocket. Pin the pockets onto the apron front and topstitch into place...leaving the top folded edge of pocket unstitched. Use your stylus or small pointy scissors to keep the seam allowances turned under while stitching. Don't forget to backstitch! Completed apron with pockets:) Now tie it on your soda or water bottle and place a straw in one of the pockets! In the other pocket you could put a love note...or a cute little candy...or their name for a place setting:) I have done that for a luncheons. You could make the pockets a little larger to hold what you want...I've done that too! Or you can fussy cut the fabric so that the pockets match like I did with the cherries:) This Coca Cola bottle looked a little bit naked to me... So I made her an apron using my Sew Cherry fabric. And 3 makes a party!!! I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and that you have fun making a few aprons for yourself and your apron lovin' friends:) xx Lori

I sure hope y’all aren’t getting sick of gift guides yet since I’m only just getting started. I am so excited for all the ones I have to come but didn’t want to pass up a niche guide inspired by this morning’s post that Phoebe of Read & Wright created. It makes me so happy to know that y’all love her monthly posts because I am right there with you taking her recommendations for myself. While any time could feel like an excellent time to read, there’s something about the winter that makes cozying up with a good book even nicer (especially if there’s a Christmas tree near where you’re sitting). If you’re shopping for someone with a similar perspective this holiday season, I have a feeling they will love these reading inspired gifts. canvas tote bag // mug warmer // book ornaments // penguin classic set // bathtub book holder // page marker // fuzzy blanket // bookmarks // bibliotheque candle // book scratch off // book stack print // kindle // checkout card socks // book light // agate book ends // literary mugs // book club kit // tequila mockingbird recipe book I think I should get my mom that teak bathtub book holder since she uses the bathtub in my room at their house, and I’d benefit from it as well. Sounds like a gift that keeps giving :) If you want to shop by directly clicking on the items in the image below, you can do that and will be taken to where each item can be purchased.
