How to make an easy vintage apron

This is how to make a much simpler apron then I last posted. I think it is just as cute though! I hope you enjoy it!

1) Cut out your apron body. 33" by 20" Then the tie. 70" by 4 1/2" After that the heart pocket. All I did was fold some fabric in half and draw half a heart then cut it out. Make 2.

2) Hem the apron on every edge but one of the longer ones. The with right sides together stitch around the hearts except for about 3" to turn right side out. Press.

3) Gather the unhemmed side of the apron body and match the centers of the tie and apron body, stitch right sides together.

4) Press ends of apron tie over 1" and then fold in half. Sew along sides.

5) Finally, sew heart pocket to apron body. Top-stitch carefully around the bottom 3/4 of the heart.

That's all there is to it! Please tell me how it turned out in comments.

How to make a vintage apron

I have heard that aprons like these are becoming more and more popular so I went on the internet to get some ideas and came up with this. Here is the pattern for the pockets if anyone is interested.

1) First, let's cut out the body of the apron. It's easy to do, but hard to explain so I'll try my best. Start at the corner of your fabric and measure out 28" and mark with a pencil or disappearing ink marker This is the top of your apron. Now let's do the side. Starting at your 28" mark measure downward 13" Do the same at the other side. Next, starting at the middle of the top go vertically 22" and mark. Now going horizontally, measure 9" from the 22" inch mark going towards the direction of the 13" mark. Do again on the other side. Now you match up the six marks making a curve on either side. Cut it out and fold in half to make sure it is the same on each side. Cut out one more using the one you just made as a pattern.

2) Now, cut out the tie, pocket, and ruffle. Tie: 6" by 75" Ruffle: 3" by 88" Then cut out the pocket using the link above. (Follow the instructions on the pocket after you cut it out)

3) Next, fold the ruffle in half width wise and press. Gather until it's about 62" and sew with right sides together to one of the apron bodies.

 4) You should have already sewn up the pockets and turned right side out. Make sure to press. Then, top-stitch each pocket 7" down from the top of the same apron body piece as you sewed the ruffle to.

5) With the ruffle inward stitch the 2 apron bodies together right sides together leaving the top open. Turn right side out and press.

6) Gather the top of the apron body until 15" long.

7) With right sides together sew the tie to the top of the apron body matching up the middle of each.

8) Press The sides of the tie about 1/2" and then fold in half width-wise and press. Stitch where you folded the sides over.

Congratulations! You have completed your very own vintage apron! Also here is the link to where I got the idea I changed it up a bit, but I want this person to get her rightful credit.
