APRON
Fold 1 ½” (4 cm) of the bottom edge inside and press. Fold the edge again ½’ (1 cm) and pin. Stitch the hemline
narrowly. Fold the side edges inwards, ¾” (1.5 cm) wide; and press. Fold again, pin and topstitch narrowly. To
gather the apron edge see step 8. The gathered width of the top apron edge has to be distributed equally. To do so
tighten the bobbin threads of the stitch lines to the width of the waistband. Knot thread ends. Distribute width equally (a).

Pin the waistband onto the top apron edge, right sides facing. Let the allowance overlap at the sides. Stitch. Press
the allowances into the waistband. Fold and press the allowances of the top of the waistband towards the inside (b).

Along the tie strips, fold the long and short edges ½” (1.5 cm) wide inside and press; fold again and pin. Fold

the end of the strip to an angle, then pin. Topstitch the allowance. Create a pleat at each of the open edges of the
strip ends and pin. Complete width of the strip is 1 ½” (3.5 cm) ©.

Pin the strips at the side edges of the waistband. Fold the waistband in half towards the outside. Stitch the narrow

edges together, enclosing the strips. Trim allowances (d). Cut the corners at angles (e). Turn the waistband. Pin the
inner edge onto the seam line. Topstitch the waistband edges narrowly, at the same time stitching the inner half.
