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.

3. Straighten the top edge of the quilted rectangle by trimming evenly with a rotary cutter or scissor and sew a piece of the binding to the lining side of this edge, right side of binding toward the lining. Sew with a 3/8-inch seam. Press the binding over the edge to the right side, turn under the raw edge to cover the previous row of stitching, press, and sew in place along the fold.


 Straighten the top edge of the quilted rectangle.


Finish the top of the binding by stitching close to the fold.

4. Fold the quilted piece in half lengthwise, denim side out and binding at the top. Round off the bottom corners.


 Fold the quilted piece together and shape the lower corners.

5. Sew the remaining binding around the outer edges of the mitt, folding in the ends at the top and finishing as in step 3.


 Sew the binding to the outer edges of the handle mitt.

The Oven Mitt
1. Make a pattern using your hand or another oven mitt as a guide. Cut two from denim, two from batting, and two from 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!
