I adore cooking and anything vintage. I also love to throw parties. I wanted a cute little apron to wear when I play hostess so I designed this Vintage Style Apron. It is so easy and fun to create and would make a great house warming gift or would be perfect to wear over your outfit for a Spring time soirée.
Retro Apron
Materials:
Wrapping paper or brown paper
chalk pencil
thin cotton fabric (I used muslin)
2 yd. wide ribbon plus Rick rack or ½†wide ribbon
interfacing
fabric paint or acrylic paint
flower stencil
1. Make a pattern for the apron by drawing a rectangle about 18″ wide and 10″ long and rounding off one end of the rectangle for the bottom of the apron. Cut out the pattern. Also cut out a piece, about 4″x5″, for the pockets.
2. Pin the pattern to the fabric and cut out the pieces. Make sure to cut 2 pocket pieces.
3. Fold over the edges of all pieces to create a clean hem; stitch.
4. Attach the pockets where desired and top stitch them to the apron.
5. Hand-paint a flower or vine motif (you can use a stencil or freehand the design).
6. Pin the ribbon to the top of the apron and stitch.
