(pattern pieces: two apron pieces, front and back, 2 pocket pieces, 1 neck band, 2 waist ties)

I don’t know how to use pattern programs so I made a quick diagram with measurements to make this apron in two sizes.

You can download the diagram. Feel free to add inches to the length if needed for the larger pattern. It just depends if you want it to hit above/below the knee. For a boy apron, just cut out as shown. For a girl apron with a scalloped bottom, cut out following the dashed lines on the diagram.

Time: 1 hour

Seams: 1/4″

Skill level: Beginner

2T-4T

5Y-10Y

Supplies:

fabric for outer (I always just buy a yard)

fabric for lining

thread

measuring tape

iron/ironing board

sewing machine

Pocket:

1. Sew your two pocket pieces together (right sides facing), leaving a few inches on the top to turn right side out.

2. Clip curves and turn right side out. Tuck ends in where you turned it right side out and pin. Top stitch the top of the pocket piece, catching the tucked ends into the seam.

3. Center the pocket onto the apron front and pin into place. Stitch pocket onto the apron by sewing around the sides and bottom.

Waist Ties:

4.Fold waist ties in half and sew the side seam. Use a safety pin to turn the strap right side out. Press.

5.Fold one of the ends inside about 1/2″ and pin.

6. Stitch the end closed. Top stitch all the way around the entire tie. Repeat for the other tie.

Neck Strap:

Make the same way as the waist ties, but leave ends open. Top stitch all the way around.

7. Pin neck strap to apron front about 1/2″ away from edges.

8. Pin the raw edge of each waist tie to apron front just below the arm opening.

9. Place apron lining on top of the front apron piece, right sides together, sandwiching the neck strap and waist ties in between. Pin all the way around, leaving a 4″ gap on the side of the apron for turning right side out.

10. Stitch apron all the way around using 1/4″ seam allowance, stopping at the 4″ opening. Clip curves, especially around the scallops if making a girl apron and trim corners. Turn right side out. Press.

11. Fold over opening and pin. Top stitch around the entire apron.
