  Step 1

  So roll a bit of material into a thin strip that is thick a few layers thick. Sew the ends together and you can either stitch across the whole way or do what I did and make it hold together by stitching a pattern onto it.

  Because mine was alice in wonderland sort of thing I sewed the card symbols into it (spades, diamonds, hearts, clubs) but you can use any patten you want be creative and sketch down a pattern you think would look good.

  Step 2

  measure or just guess how long you would want it and cut out a sort of semi circle or longer type of shape.
  If you want to make it poof out a little bit also cut out some tule for the back. Gather the tule lightly so it only sticks out softly you don't want it to be sticking out in a big lump.
  Sew the main part to the belt tightly. This took a long time for me because hand stitching what should be overlocked was hard. But for the unprofessional sewer like me Just go over it and over it so it looks like random stitches thats very dark and cool.

  Step 3

  add the decorations for the front of the apron by cutting out the shapes you want in tule or coloured fabric. Of course I used the card symbols because it matches my theme but again do anything you want be creative.
  Little tip: to keep the depth of the two layers the white and the tule behind it only attach the symbols to the white cloth so it doesn't hold onto the tule as-well.

  Enjoy your new apron. I would love to see other peoples versions or hear what you have to think.
  I really hope you like it as much as I do. :)
