Thanksgiving Aprons

First, off I have to say that I loved this little mini-project. It was so easy and so fun to do!

This is the fabric for our Thanksgiving aprons that we're so excited about.

We're just doing plain ol' black for the back.

Good combination....right?

Cut out 1 rectangle of the harvest fabric and 1 rectangle of the black fabric measuring 20 inches by 30 inches. Pin them right sides together, using 1/4 seam allowance sew the edges leaving about 4 inches to turn your apron right side out. It will look much like a pillowcase. Iron The seam flat and then iron the rest of the apron.

The above is what it should look like. Fold your rectangle hamburger style so that the black fabric is the fabric that is showing. Fold half back down to the edge. You should be seeing all harvest fabric now. Sew the sides creating one huge pocket. Then, sew 2 straight lines evenly down the middle. This will create 3 pockets.

Measure your waste and add 30 inches onto that to make the sash. Cut it to be 6 inches wide. Fold your sash in half iron and sew the raw edges together. Turn right side out and finish the edges.

Using a 1/4 inch seam allowance, line your sash with the top of your apron and sew. Sew the sash to the apron as well as shown.

You will then have this masterpiece~!

I really love it. I'm sorry my instructions aren't the best, but hey, this week is my first week doing tutorials. I'm sure to get better at them someday!
