Easy Kids Apron

For this easy kids apron you will need:

A Large dishtowel
2 ½ yards or 90 inches of wide double fold bias tape
A tape measure

Wash your dishtowel in the laundry before sewing. Lay your dishtowel flat and fold in half lengthwise.

fold in half dish towel

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.

cut dish towel edges

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.

Continue pinning along sides of apron. Starting at one end of the bias tape sew together. Either hand sew with a straight running stitch all along the edges of the tape to the end or sew on 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.
