How to Sew An Apron

The How to Sew An Apron sewing kit will teach you some basic techniques while you make a fabulous apron with pocket(s), ties, and adjustable neck strap. Pick a pretty cotton print with contrasting pocket and ties or make a man-size b-b-q apron or an art project apron for a little one.

This apron sewing pattern is perfect as a first project for beginner sewers. Why? Because it has only 4 pattern pieces (front, pocket and ties). It also has very detailed step-by-step directions written with the beginner sewer in mind. Can you bake a cake following the box directions? Make a casserole following your mom's family recipe? Just like that, you'll have a beautiful apron.

Some of the sewing skills that you'll learn along the way:
fabric layout, staystitching, clean finishing, machine hemming, grading, and understitching. All skills that you'll use frequently as you begin your sewing adventures.

Your Apron Making Kit contains:

Palmer/Pletsch Apron pattern "for Artists and Chefs". The pattern ranges in size from Adult small thru Extra Large, and Childs Extra Small thru Large.

Package of D-rings to use for the adjustable next strap
