And mostly, I just love an excuse to use one of my favorite prints from the BLUSH fabric collection<\/a>—Dutch Blooms.
\nAhhhh! I want to sew this fabric into everything. And this print works great for an apron, because it really shows off that retro flower design.

\nWe’ll make a Basic Apron first, and then we’ll add a pocket.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nStart by picking a fun fabric. Isn’t that the best part of any project?? (Well, other than seeing the finished product.)
\n<\/strong>
\n\u2022 You need appx 1 yard of fabric.
\n\u2022 Use a variety of fabric types: Quilting Cotton, Dishtowels, Lightweight Terry Cloth<\/p>\n
\nCut the following pieces in these general sizes.
\nApron Skirt:<\/strong>
\nAdult – Cut 1 piece, 34″ x 20″
\nChild – Cut 1 piece, 26″ x 16″
\nApron Waistband:<\/strong>
\nAdult – Cut 2 pieces, 40″ x 5″ and piece them together to make one long 80″ x 5″ strip (see video below).
\nChild – Cut 2 pieces, 35″ x 4″ and piece them together.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.madeeveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/How-to-sew-an-Apron-with-a-Pocket-on-MADE-Everyday-with-Dana-Willard-7-690x388.jpg\")
<\/a>If you’re using a fun gingham print or something that looks awesome on the diagonal—you can cut your pieces on the bias! (Find out more about cutting on the Bias HERE<\/a>.) \u00a0For my gingham apron,\u00a0I cut the waistband and pocket pieces on the bias, but left the skirt on the grain.
