An apron is a necessary item in the kitchen of a real housewife. It will protect and decorate your everyday home outfit from surprises when preparing your favorite dishes. And for mothers who want to instill in their child a love of work, there is a great way to do this by giving him a real apron, just like his mother’s.

• Bias tape – 5 meters for an adult apron, 3-4 meters for a children’s apron;
• Scissors;
• Sewing machine;
• Threads to match the fabric.

Additionally, an iron is used for ironing the binding, paper for the pattern (can be directly on the fabric), chalk or soap for applying the pattern to the fabric piece, and a ruler.

Apron assembly sequence:
1. Draw an apron pattern according to the given dimensions;
2. Cut the pattern into pieces, lay it out on the fabric and cut it without seam allowances. Cut on the fabric folded inwards, so that the breast and the first wedge are on the fold.

2. Finish the third wedge along the outer cut with edging;

3. Connect the third and second wedges and edge together;

4. If there is a pocket on the first (central) wedge, you need to edge the top cut - the entrance to the pocket;
5. On the left and right, connect the central wedge with the second wedge using an edging;

6. Cut out the apron belt – width 5 cm, length from 1 m. 20cm. Belts 2 parts;

7. Sew the belt to the bottom of the apron. Turn out the ends of the belt, iron the edges and sew a finishing stitch along the entire belt, while at the same time inserting the breast of the apron at the top.
