Gather your materials

  • 1/2 yard of cotton fabric for front and 1/4 yard for the ties.
  • straight pins

  • corner template download HERE

Sew this pretty apron in just 1 hour! Perfect for Mother's Day and any other occassion | DIY Crush

  1. cut 2 pieces of fabric 21″ wide by 14″ long for the main apron
  2. 3x ties at 21″ wide by 5″ long
  3. cut out your corner template and place it into the bottom right corner of the apron piece, pin and cut around it. Repeat with all remaining bottom corners.
  4. Place both apron pieces with right sides together and pin then sew with a 3/8″ seam allowance around the perimeter, leaving the straight top edge open.
  5. trim off half of the seam allowance.
  6. Turn apron with right sides out and press then top stitch. Leave the top edge open.
  7. To make the ties you want to put 2 tie strips with right sides together and pin the left edges together then sew in place.
  8. Repeat this with the 3rd tie strap and sew it to the right side. You will now have a continuously long strip.
  9. Press the two seam allowances of the tie open.
  10. Fold in both short edges 3/8″ and press.
  11. Fold down both long edges 3/8″ and press.
  12. Place the apron piece with cut edges into the tie strip so that the apron top edge matches with the tie’s inner folds cut edge.
  13. Pin in place every 1-2″. Continue pinning the remaining tie folds as well.
  14. Sew starting on one of the tie ends and continue on over the apron part until you reach the other tie’s end. Backstitch the beginning and ends.

    I love this cute apron! But my Mum hates cooking and would not be impressed with it as a gift, my sister in law on the otherhand would adore it to pieces!
