Does your little housewife need an apron?Sew it yourself! We have prepared for you very detailed (with lots of pictures) instructions on how to make an apron for a little girl with your own hands. Here's what you'll need: One meter of patterned fabric (this is more than enough, unless you're going to add a chef's hat to the apron, which will take another half meter).

One meter of one-color fabric, in harmony with the first.
One meter of Velcro tape (you do not use all).
A ruler or a centimeter (or a coordination board).

Step by step Step 1. Create a paper pattern.It's much easier than you think. Especially with a piece like this. Just fold the paper in half (this will ensure symmetry), draw the outline of the apron - and cut it out. By placing the template on your daughter, you can assess how well it fits and what needs to be changed. If necessary, rework the template. Step 2. Making a pocket template even easier. Also fold the paper in half - and repeat the steps, but this time you won't need to try it on.Step 3: Cut or fold the pattern in half.Pin to folded fabric. Trace with pencil or chalk – and cut out, leaving 5mm for seams. Repeat with other fabric – for lining.Step 4: Repeat step 3, but with the pocket. Step 5:Cut two ribbons from plain fabric: - for the strap, approximately 70x8 cm (adjust for your girl); - for the frill, approximately 100x8 cm. Cut a ribbon for the neck strap from patterned fabric, approximately 38x10 cm.Step 6. Place the two pocket pieces together, inside out, and sew, leaving a small opening for turning. Make small cuts on the corners, as shown in the photo. Turn the pocket inside out and pin it to the apron- and sew. To make sure the pocket is exactly in the center, first fold the apron in half and mark the center. But the pocket should be below the waist, since there will be a belt on it.Step 7: Fold and press both edges of the belt inward by 0.5 cm and stitch. Fold the belt in half lengthwise – sew, leaving 3 mm from the edge.Turn the belt inside out. Iron it so that the seam is in the middle.Step 8. The neck strap is sewn at the very beginning in the same way as the belt. Bend and sew the edges.Fold the strap in half and iron it.Open it back up and iron again, folding the sides along the center line.Fold in half – and iron again.Sew on both sides, leaving 3 mm.Sew a piece of barbed velcro to one end of the neck strap.Step 9: Fold the edges of the frill ribbon and stitch.Fold in half lengthwise with the wrong side facing in and iron.Sew the edges with the machine set to the longest stitch length and maximum thread tension. You can also pull the thread while sewing to create resistance.This way your frill will gather properly.Sew the frill to the raw bottom edge of the apron.Step 10: Putting it all together. Sew one end of the neck strap to one of the top corners of the garment, making sure the other end is facing the back with the Velcro facing the back.Sew a piece of Velcro to the other top corner.apron from the inside. This should be done before sewing the lining and the base of the apron so that the seam is not through, that is, remains invisible from the outside.Place the lining and the base of the apron face to face, pin and sew, leaving an opening for turning.Sew, leaving 0.5 mm from the edge. Make cuts. Iron the seams open.Turn inside out and iron. Find the center of your apron again and the center of the waistband – pin them together.Sew the belt, leaving 3 mm from its edges.If it is long enough, you can tie it. If not, sew on a Velcro fastener. Velcro will make it easier for the child to put on and take off the apron on their own.I hope this guide will be useful for visitors of our site. Good luck with your DIY projects!
