Easy
Kids Apron
For this easy kids apron you will need:
- 2 ½ yards or 90 inches of wide double fold bias tape
Wash your dishtowel in the laundry before sewing.
Lay your dishtowel
flat and fold in half lengthwise.
Measure 10 inches from the top and place a pin or use a pencil to mark
the spot. Now measure 4 inches from the folded edge. Pin or use a
pencil to mark this spot. Cut a straight line through the towel from
one pin to the other pin.
Unfold and lay open. Fold your bias
tape in half meeting the ends together. This will help you find the
very middle of the tape. Measure 6 inches down from the middle and pin
on each side.
Make sure this will be long enough or
not too long to go around the neck. This is how you use bias tape
one side should be on one side of the
towel and the other side of the bias tape
should be on the back side of
the towel.
Here is more
sewing
instruction on using bias tape.
Continue pinning along sides of apron. Starting at one end of
the bias tape sew together. Either hand sew with a straight running
stitch along the edges of the tape, or sew using the sewing
machine.
Remove pins as you sew along. Tie a knot
in the bias tape at each end. If you would like pockets use a longer
towel and fold the end of your apron up a few inches and sew along side
edges.
