DIRECTIONS:

- 1 strip of bias tape for ties per measurements.
- Cut strips 2" wide on the bias. Using the bias tape maker, make strips for ties. To do by hand, cut strips 2" wide on the bias. Fold in half wrong sides together and iron. Open out and fold each side to the center and iron. Fold back in half along the first fold line.
- Baste the 2 main apron pieces together wrong sides together. Sew the pocket pieces right sides together on the top only. Turn and press right sides out. Top stitch 1/4" from pocket top. Place the pocket on the bottom of the apron and baste the sides and bottom together. Stitch a vertical line down the center of the pocket to form 2 pockets. Sew a strip of bias tape to the top of the apron sandwiching the apron in between. Sew bias tape to the apron starting from the bottom of one curve continuing around the bottom and up to the bottom of the curve on the other side sandwiching the apron in the middle of the tape. Cut 2 pieces of bias tape 60" long for small or 66" long for medium. Measure down 21" from end of strip. Place mark at the top of the curve and sew strip to apron sandwiching apron in the middle of tape. Continue stitching the edge of the bias tape to form ties turning the raw ends in 1/4".
JOANN HACKS:
