  Step 1

  First use chalk and a ruler to draw your apron shape onto your fabric, remembering to leave a seam allowence.

  (I prefer to use regular chalk to tailors chalk, as I think it comes off much easier, but that's just my personal preference.)

• 

  Step 2

  Use fabric scissors to cut out your apron.

• 

  Step 3

  Pin the hems as you'd like them in your finished apron.

• 

  Step 4

  Iron these hems to make them appear sharper and become easier to sew.

• 

  Step 5

  Sew these hems.

• 

  Step 6

  Trace the lettering for the pocket onto paper, at this point you can add clear tape to one side, to add stability to the stencil, but it's not essential.

  (I just googled the words 'Tardis sign' to get an image to trace).

• 

  Step 7

  Use a craft knife to cut out your letters.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut out your white fabric for the pocket, using fabric scissors.

• 

  Step 9

  Stick down your stencil using double-sided sticky tape, making sure to get as close to the letters as possible and add the inside of letters (such as the middle of the 'O').

• 

  Step 10

  Use a sponge to dab acrylic paint onto the stencil.

• 

  Step 11

  Before the paint has dried, peel off the stencil.

  (Waiting 'til after the paint's dried, leads to paper from the stencil getting stuck in the paint.)

• 

  Step 12

  After the paint has dried, iron the design to set the paint (make sure you put scrap fabric between your design and your iron, to stop the paint melting onto the iron).

• 

  Step 13

  Stitch the hem along the top of the pocket.

• 

  Step 14

  Pin the hems and then stitch the pocket onto the apron.

• 

  Step 15

  Trace the Police Box Sign onto paper as you did in step 6.

• 

  Step 16

  Cut out the lettering using a craft knife.

• 

  Step 17

  Cut out your black fabric rectangle, then stick down yopur stencil (as you did in step 9).

  Then use a sponge to dab on the acrylic paint, and iron once dry.

• 

  Step 18

  Pin the hems and then stitch the sign along the top of the apron.

• 

  Step 19

  To make the windows, cut out the rectangles of white fabric and use acrylic paint and a ruler to aint the squares on.

  Then iron to set the paint.

• 

  Step 20

  Then stich the windows onto the apron.

• 

  Step 21

  Draw and cut out the shapes for your straps, leaving seam allownces.

• 

  Step 22

  Fold in the seam allownces then fold the strips in half and pin the sides togther.

• 

  Step 23

  Then iron your straps.

• 

  Step 24

  Stich your straps together.

• 

  Step 25

  Next, stitch the straps onto the apron.

• 

  Step 26

  And you're done. :)

Cool! I'm gonna make it once my mom replaces the needle in our sewing machine... It was broken, then she fixed it and I tried to sew but the needle bent like jelly. O.O
