A denim bistro apron will surely be a hit in the kitchen or at the backyard grill.
These kitchen mitts are the gifts they’ll keep on using!
Embellish the apron pockets with stitching to resemble the back pocket of jeans.

9. Finish the side hems: Press the long side edges under 3/4 inch, then 1/4 inch along the raw edge, and sew in place using the matching thread.

10. Now sew the waistband facing in place using the contrasting thread so it resembles a jeans’ waistband.


 Sew the waistband facing in place from the right side so it looks like a jeans’ waistband.

11. Turn up the bottom hem 1-3/4 inches, turning in 1/4 inch along the raw edge, and sew in place using the matching thread.

The Pot-Handle Mitt
1. Cut a rectangle of denim, batting, and lining 9 inches long, 6 inches wide. Cut a 2-inch-wide strip for the binding that’s 2 inches wide and 22 to 24 inches wide (on the bias or the cross grain).

2. Layer the denim, batting, and lining together, and quilt a design through all layers using the gold thread.


 To make the handle mitt, first sandwich the batting between the denim and the lining.

Apron, potholders, frayed-edge denim placemats, bandana napkins, and then printed off favorite recipes and put them in a clear-view binder with the cover insert consisting of denim quilted with colorful bits to match the apron and potholders. I love the big pockets on your apron - perfect for a cook. I think this is a great gift ensemble!
