Preshrinking Tip:

If your fabric is
100% cotton,
consider
laundering it more
than once – two or
three times even
because cotton
fabric doesn’t
always shrink its
maximum amount
with the first
washing.
Sewing Quick Tip:

When purchasing
fabric, remember
to write down the
fabric’s care
instructions, which
should be printed
on the end of the
bolt. Also note the
fabric’s fiber
content and store
this information
with the fabric.

Let’s make Aprons! Here you’ll find over
one hundred and seventy free apron
patterns and tutorials collected from all
over the web. And so many styles to
choose from! Sew full aprons, half aprons,
retro & vintage aprons, smock aprons,
craft aprons, child and adult aprons,
gathering aprons, bib aprons, and simple
or elegant aprons. And all of these pages
show you just how pretty and fun aprons
can be - both to make and to wear!

And because aprons often consist of
simple shapes and are quick to make, they
would make an excellent first project for
someone just learning how to sew. The
beginner will be able to whip an apron up
in almost no time, and be able to have the
satisfaction of a completed project. Plus an apron can be made from a medium-weight
broadcloth fabric, which is a fabric that's easy for a beginner to work with.

And just a reminder: If you’ll be making your apron from several different fabrics and you plan to
launder your finished apron (which is likely), test each of your fabrics for colorfastness. To do
this, submerge each fabric individually in the same water temperature and detergent in which
you plan to wash your finished apron. If the water turns color or if any dye comes off when you
press the wet fabric between layers of a white towel, then your fabric isn’t colorfast. If this is
the case, you may want to choose different fabrics.
