I've been wanting to make an apron tutorial for a while. this one is perfect for entertaining or for baking. cute, petite and a splash of vintage equals a darling little kitchen accessory. enjoy!
materials needed:fabric - a strong cotton is perfect, accent fabric (if desired), pins, scissors, measuring tape, lace or embellishments as desired, sewing machine, iron.
1. measure and cut fabric 6.5" by whatever length you'd like (mine measured 6.5 x 46"). sew along sized and ends a 1/2" hem, making sure to leave room to turn right side out. once sewn, turn right side out and iron flat. stitch the opening closed.
2. cut two large half ovals out of your fabric. make sure they are big enough to fit across your lap. we will do more with these later. 
3. cut one or two fun shapes out of your accent fabric - these will be used as pockets. duplicate your accent cutouts on your apron fabric. place the pretty sides of fabric together and pin. stitch around all edges, leaving a 3-4" un-sewn gap. turn pocket right side out and iron. hand stitch opening closed.
4. take one half oval piece of fabric and lay out your pocket(s) and position them where you'd like. pin together. make sure you leave room at least one inch from the edge of your fabric so we can sew the rest of the apron.
5. place two pretty sides of your half oval fabric together and pin all sides. leave 6" gap so you can pull your fabric through. iron.
6. attach your waistband and add lace or embellishments as desired.
