Valentine's Day Apron

How to make your own Valentine's Day Apron

Difficulty level: Easy
Time amount: 30min


This is a nice project to have an extra apron, utilize excess fabric, and look cute when making something for your sweetie! 


You will need:

  • Large (1mx2m) Piece of cloth (We used fabric that's been sitting around) 
  • Small (40 or so cm sq) Piece of cloth (We used an old T-Shirt!)
  • Matching ribbon-about a meter total
  • White/matching thread
  • Thin yarn that matches cloth
  • Needle
  • Pins

 


Step 1:

Cut out your outline or use the shape of another apron.

Then, cut the size for the top of the apron covering your chest.
Make sure you get the factory made hem for the top of the piece-it looks better.



Step 2:

Hem the edges with pretty thick yarn-it's supposed to be seen so make it neat!

Be weary of the curved edge-it looks pretty when it's also gently curved.



Step 3:

Use some thread across the top to create ruche, then attach the top of the apron to the bottom.





Step 4:

Attach half of the ribbon to the midline-we used iron on hem then sewed it along the middle.


Make sure your ends are heated so they wont unravel.


If you want to hide the seam some, add in another smaller ribbon and bow.



Step 5:

Add on a piece of fabric for a design, or even make it a pocket.


Step 6:

Take the rest of your ribbon and cut it in half, attach it on the backside
of the apron top for neckties. You should make sure it's very secure
because it will be holding the whole apron up.



Step 7:
*Optional

Iron in pleats to your desire to make it look finished and neat.
Add pockets on the bottom if you like!



Enjoy cooking a sweet meal in this cute apron!





Don't forget to try it on!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
