  Step 1

  I unpicked the bodice from the skirt and both of the skirt side seams.

  Step 2

  From one skirt piece I cut off 2.5in from the skirt fabric and lining ( this is the piece I was keeping for the front of the apron ). From the other skirt piece I cut off three 2.5in strips.
  These are to make the waist and neck ties.
  On all of these pieces I sewed them together, right sides facing each other, turned them and top sewed around each strip.
  I inserted the ones I was using as waist ties in to the open sides of the waist band then sewed them closed.
  I re-hemmed the skirt and lining.
  Then sewed the skirt front and lining together on the inside so there would be no raw edges showing.

  Step 3

  With contrasting fabric I cut out pieces to make the apron top and cut two 1.5in strips from the remaining skirt fabric.
  I used a close zig zag stitch to tidy up the edges of the strips and down the centre sewed a line using a large straight stitch. I then pulled one thread on the straight stitch to turn the fabric strip in to a ruffle.
  I pinned the ruffles to one of the apron pieces then sewed them on.

  Step 4

  I pinned the neck ties in to postition ( I didn't want mine to tie at the back of the neck so I cut one shorter than the other ) then right sides facing, sewed the two apron pieces together.
  I turned the apron pieces the right way then top sewed the edges.
  I inserted the apron top in to the top of the waist band then sewed it closed.
  I sewed two buttons on the the apron top and it was finished.
