MATERIALS
1m of transparent PVC
7m of Deluxe Faux Leather Ribbon col. Indigo h 2.5cm
Fabric scissors
Embroidery scissors
Coloured thread
Stanley knife
Set square
Pencil
Pattern paper
METHOD
To make the pattern you can either use an old apron and trace around it or follow the diagram below.
We’re going to prepare patterns also for the pockets: one for the bib, about 12cm high and 10cm long and a maxi horizontal pocket about 15cm high and 57cm long.
Once the paper pattern is done, place it on the PVC so you can cut around it, either with the scissors or a Stanley knife, but make sure you put something underneath to protect the surface!
Let’s start by hemming all around the pocket on the bib with our Deluxe Faux Leather Ribbon col. Indigo 2,5cm thick and then also hem the two longer sides on the maxi pocket.
Place the pocket where we want it to be on the bib and stitch around the edge of the sides and the bottom but leave the top open.
Hem the top of the bib and then the bottom then the lower side edges.
To make the hem of the waist line we’re going to use about 60cm of Deluxe Faux Leather Ribbon and double stitch it on the edge. Continue sewing even beyond the pvc to make the waist ties.
Then we’re going to hem the sides of the bib with 104cm of Deluxe Faux Leather Ribbon, sewing the first 23cm on the right edge, then we’re going to continue beyond the pvc by another 58cm to make the neck strap. Lastly, we’ll go back to sewing the remaining 23cm onto the left side.
We can now put our apron on!
