Hurray, I finally finished this post!  Making this apron was so much easier than writing about it.  How many times can you get interrupted, I ask you?  And still keep your head in the game?  But all’s well that ends well.  So here’s my apron tutorial.

This apron is just perfect for the garden… or for crafting, or a craft fair.  You get the picture.  It’s versatile.

And here’s how I made it:

You’ll need:

  • 1/2 yard 54″ wide home decor weight fabric, canvas, demin or something with a little weight to it.  You’ll be putting shovels in the pockets after all… lightweight isn’t going to cut it.
  • 1/3 – 1/2 yard alternate fabric for the binding.  You won’t use even close to all of this, and you can get away with less, but it’s nice to have a bigger cut of fabric to cut on the bias (a fat quarter can work great).  That way there are less seems.
  • A disappearing fabric pen.  I like the blue “erasable by water” pens.

I posted the full tutorial here with all the photos.

 

Enjoy.
