Easy Sew Apron

Using an old pillowcase, you can create this easy sew apron. I love it for its simplicity and the chance to recycle. We bought our pillowcase at a second hand store. 

You will need for this project:

• pillowcase, new or used
• 4 pieces of ribbon- 25 inches long or see directions below for creating straps out of material
• bias tape to match material

To begin fold your apron in half as shown below. Measure 4 inches from the top right corner. Mark or pin. Measure 8 1/2 inches on the side starting at the right hand corner. Pin or mark. Cut curve to match marks.




Unfold and pin bias tape along arm edges. Sew taking out pins as you go.

 

To keep your edges unraveling on your ribbon turn top edge down and down again. Stitch. Pin ribbon on each top edge as shown in the picture.




Pin ribbon on sides at the bottom edge of the bias tape.

Straps from Material

If you are using material to create your straps. Cut 4 strips 25 inches long and 2 inches wide. Fold edges in and sew down the middle.
