I'm sharing a tutorial for a half apron that sews up quickly and requires less than four fat quarters to make! This step
by step tutorial creates the basic half apron design, however
you can take this simple pattern and add your own details -- applique, pockets, longer straps to wrap around to tie in the front, etc. If you have any questions leave a comment or feel free to email me
at maureencracknell@hotmail.com. Now let's get started!!
What you'll need : :
What you'll need : :
- 1 - fat quarter measuring 18" x 22" for the main apron fabric
- 1 - fat quarter cut in half, into two equal pieces measuring 11"x 18" for the side panel fabrics
- 1 - fat quarter to cut a piece measuring 9" x 22" for the waistband
- 1 - fat quarter to cut two pieces measuring 7" 22" for the straps
- coordinating thread
- Sewing pins
- Sharp scissors and/or a rotary cutter/mat set
Creating the Apron Skirt : :
1. Using the fat quarter chosen for the first layer of the apron skirt, create a hem by folding in the bottom edge 1/4" and press 2. Fold 1/4" again, press, and pin in place 3. Repeat this step for both sides of the fat quarter piece 4. Sew along inner folded edge and the outer edge to create a double seam
Once finished the bottom of the fat quarter and both sides should have a nice double seam hem.
Creating the Apron Skirt Panels : :
5. Using the fat quarter chosen for creating each side panel, cut this fat quarter in half, to two pieces measuring 11" x 18" 6. Using the same steps for hemming the skirt, create a hem on both the bottom and each side of the panel pieces. There is no need to hem the top 7. Lay each panel piece on top of the hemmed skirt piece at a slight angle as shown below
Once the panel pieces are positioned, pin in place.
Creating the Apron Waistband : :
8. From the fat quarter chosen for the waistband, cut a piece measuring 9" x 22" 9. Fold in each edge a 1/4" and press 10. Fold this piece in half so the sides match up and press well
The pressed waistband should have no exposed raw edges.
Attaching the Apron Waistband : :
11. Place the finished apron skirt inside the waistband, so the waistband covers the raw edges at the top of the apron skirt 12. Pin in place 13. Sew along both the top of the waistband, staying close to the edge, and along the bottom, leaving both sides of the waistband open (for the straps)
Remove the pins, now it's time to make the straps!
Creating the Apron Straps : :
14. From the fat quarter chosen for the straps, cut two pieces measuring 7" x 22" 15. Using the same instructions for creating the waistband, fold in edges, press and then fold in half 16. sew along the outside edge of each strap piece, staying close to the edge 17. Insert strap piece into the opening left on each side of the waistband, pin in place 18. Sew straps in place, for this I always sew two seams
Voila! Using less than four fat quarters you've created a super cute apron! My favorite part is that the bottom skirt fabric stays draped and you can lift the side panels to wipe your hands almost like hanging tea towels! Love that!!
The wide waistband makes this apron easy wearing and flattering to all our shapes, and the angled side panel pieces add a sweet feminine and flirty-ness, too!
I hope you enjoy making and wearing this apron! You can read about my reason for creating this apron here. As always, if you decided to give this tutorial a try -- be sure to let me know and feel free to share a photo on my facebook page anytime!!
Happy Monday, friends!! ♥ Maureen
* * * * * * UPDATE : : After making this apron a few more times myself and having so many of my blog followers and friends make one as well, I do recommend lengthening the straps. The size in the tutorial will work for a size small/medium, so I just suggest that you adjust the length to a comfortable length for yourself or for the person who will be wearing it! THANKS!! M
Love this! Thanks!! =D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah!!
Deletewow thank's for the tutorial, that will be a great gift for my mother!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's preschool teacher wears an apron every day. Looks like I have an end of year gift for her! Thanks for the great tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! You might need to add a pocket for her chalk! I kept this tutorial simple, but I thought adding a pocket to each side panel would be perfect! I wear aprons almost everyday, too! Love them!!
Delete:) Maureen
Thanks for the great tutorial, Maureen! That's such a cute style! I wear an apron every single time I work in the kitchen, and I love the idea of the hanging "towels" on the sides.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of this, Maureen. Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteAnother absolutely fabulous patter/tutorial. Thanks for sharing your talents with me. I have been so inspired by you. I have tried several things I had never done before because you make them look so simple. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing the apron tutorial with us. :) It's adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maureen, for sharing this with us. There's something about the simplicity of the look that really appeals to me. I have fat quarters just itching to become a USA apron for a UK friend. I'll share pics when I get it made, probably next month!
ReplyDeleteOk I admit, I couldn't pay attention to the tutorial right now, I was too busy falling in love with your pincushion.
ReplyDeleteSo, so beautiful!! Where can I get these fabrics? I didn't see a link??
ReplyDeleteCheryl
I shared the fabric info last week, when I first shared this new apron -- http://maureencracknellhandmade.blogspot.com/2012/05/aprons-for-haiti.html
DeleteThey are from my sponsor Fabric Envy, you can find a link on my sidebar, and the fabrics are Hello Luscious by Moda! :)
I just noticed that one of the measurements might be off? For the side panel fabrics it says to cut a FQ in half, final measurement being 11 x 22. If the longer side is 22, then I think side we would be cutting from is 18, and then in half would be 9. So, do the side panels end up being 9 x 22? Or am i just confused?
ReplyDeleteI made the corrections -- THANK YOU! It never fails, no matter how many times I read it over, I always miss something! I appreciate you letting me know and hope that no one had cut into their fabrics yet!! :)
DeleteI love your blog and this tutorial is the perfect combo of super cute and fairly easy :) I'm going to make one for my future sister-in-law's bridal shower!
DeleteThis is just great Maureen. I think I'm going to run with your idea about using the side panels to wipe hands and use linen for them, with a pretty print on the centre panel and waistband/ties. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the apron design, can't believe how simple it is to make as well! I think I'll definitely make this =D
ReplyDeleteThat's the bomb diggity. I'd love a skirt that looks like that too!!
ReplyDeleteSo very cute - thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for throwing it up online for all of us scavengers to pick over! This will be made a few times over in my house in the next few weeks, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooo pretty!!!!
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing!!!!

tempted to try it and the side panels make into big pockets, it would be great for pegs, 'A Peg Bag Apron"
