  Step 1

  First you will need to make a pattern. One larger square and one smaller. I used a sheet of 18x24 drawing paper as my smaller and a 24x30 sheet as the larger.

• 

  Step 2

  Iron your fabric very well.

• 

  Step 3

  Next cut out your peices. The patterned fabric will be your smaller square and your solid will be the larger.

• 

  Step 4

  Here's what your peices should look like

• 

  Step 5

  You are going to place your smaller square in the center of the larger. Once again, iron your peices. You will then create a diagonal slit at each corner.

• 

  Step 6

  You are then gouing to fold the edges of the larger square inward, creating a border. Iron this down as well as folding in the raw edges and ironing them as well.

• 

  Step 7

  Tuck corners back and pin.

• 

  Step 8

  Pin your corners so they stay put while you sew.

• 

  Step 9

  sew along the inside edge of your border.

• 

  Step 10

  Cut out a strip twice the width of the border, and long ebough to be tied around the waist. face the fabric and fold it down the middle. Sew edges together,forming a long tube and then flip tube right-side-out.

• 

  Step 11

  Line the tube along the top border of your apron. This will create a waist band and ties. Sew along top and bottom edge of your tube, and don't forget to close off the ends ofyour ties using a fairly durable stitch

• 

  Step 12

  Use your embroidery hoop to help handstitch your embellishment onto the apron. I made this out of felt, but shape can be bought(or found!)and be sewn on as well. Also add a pocket of you so wish

• 

  Step 13

  And there you have it! a beautiful hand made apron!
