Complete your Alice look with this easy to sew pinafore apron.
Materials:
*2 yds white cotton fabric
*Scrap red fabric
*Metallic marker
*Ruler
*Needle
*White thread
*Red thread
*Safety pins
*White thread
*Red thread
*Safety pins
Directions:
*Place a well fitting camisole or T-shirt over the white cloth and trace around it. If the straps are thin, do not trace around those.
*Using the outline as a guide and a ruler, create the top part of your pinnafore. I've left the dimensions of mine on the pattern if you want to use those. You'll want it to be long enough to reach your natural waist, so if you're tall, you'll want to add some length.
*Hem the edges, with the exception of the bottom edge and the tops of the straps.
*To make the bottom part of the pinnafore, you'll want to make the upper edge as wide as the bottom of the top piece and then flare out a little. I've included the dimensions of mine if you want to use them. Again, I'm short, so if you're taller, you may want to length it a little.
*Hem the edges, except for the top one.
*To make the waist tie, I cut out a length of cloth that was 2.25" x 60".
*Align the top piece with the center of the waist tie and sew together.
*Align the bottom piece with the waist piece so that it is in line with the top piece and sew together.
*Hem the edges of the tie.
*Cut out two strips of fabric that are 2.25" x 24".
*Hem all of the edges of both strips except for the one that will connect to the straps.
*Sew one length of fabric to each strap to create the neck tie.
*To make the pockets, trace the template below onto the white fabric twice and cut out.
*Cut out two small hearts from the red fabric and sew them to the pockets.
*Hem the top of each pocket (the side with no overhang).
*To sew the pockets on, fold the edges under and pin to the apron, then sew down the three sides, leaving an opening at the top.
*Hem the edges, with the exception of the bottom edge and the tops of the straps.
