Linen apron Nothing compares with an apron
long and wide enough to fold around you to protect your clothes.
Difficulty: easy Time: two hours
You will need linen fabric matching coloured machine thread pattern on pages 72-73 dressmaker’s graph paper measuring tape dressmaker’s pins
To cut Draft the pattern on pages 72-73 onto dressmaker’s graph paper. Fold the fabric in half and pin the pattern to the fabric with the centre front on the fold. Cut out (3cm seam allowances are already included) and also cut out the pocket, waistbands and neckband.
Model: Helena from Full Circle. Hair and make-up: Lyndall from Supernova.
To make 1 Clip in the curve of the armhole in the seam allowance, fold over to the inside and press flat. Stitch a narrow double hem all around the apron. 2 Fold the waist ties and neckband in half lengthwise with the right sides together and stitch the long edge and one end of each band. Turn through to the right side and press the seams flat. 3 Stitch the waist ties to the side edges of the apron. Fold the seam allowance at the open end of the neckband to the inside and stitch the band to one side at the top edge of the apron. 4 Make a large buttonhole at the top edge of the other side of your apron, for the loose end of the neckband to be threaded through and tied securely. 5 Fold over the top edge of the pocket and stitch down. Fold in the seam allowances along the other three sides, pin the pocket to the apron and stitch in position. Stitch down the middle of the pocket through both layers to form two separate pockets.
