  1. Step 1

    Firstly
    Fold Your Fabric In Half & Draw The Shape In Pencil
    The SHape You Will Need Too Draw Should Be Sort Of Half Of A Square But With Rounded Edges.
    It Should Be Large Enough Too Go On Your Lap, So Roughly The Same Size As Your Lap.
    Cut This Shape Out.

  2. Step 2

    If Your Lace Isnt Allready In A Long Strip
    Cut It So That It Is
    Dont Leave It Too Short Because It Will Needed Too Be Folded Over At Points.
    Make It As Long As ou Can Just Too Be Safe, But I Wouldnt Say Any Longer Than Two Meters.


  3. Step 3

    Now You Should Have A Strip Of Lace, Half A Square Of Fabric, Ribbon & A Needle & Thread.
    Now Too Start Making It ...

  4. Step 4

    First You Should Start By Sewing The Lace Around The Edges Of The Half Square
    BUT
    Not At The Top ( Unless You Want It Too Look A Bit Silly )
    On The Curved Corners,
    Fold THe Lace Over Several Time So You Get A Ruffle Look
    Only Do THis On The Corners
    On The OTher Parts LEave It Straight.


  5. Step 5

    Your Apron Should Be Comming Together Nicely Now.
    Your Half Way Theyre
    Take Your Ribbon And Sew It At The Top Of Your Apron, It Doesnt Matter Weather You Sew It On The Back Or Front
    Either Way It'll Look Lovely
    Once You Have Doen This
    You Can Leave It At This Stage Or Continue With THe Rest
    ( The Rest Is Decoration & Design. )

  6. Step 6

    Ive Added A Pocket Too Mine
    Too Do This Simply Take Some Left Over Materiak And Cut It Into THe Shape Youd Like Your Pocket
    Then
    Simply Sew It Onto Your Apron ( Obviously Sew Every Side But The Top )
    Theryes Also Lots Of Other Ways Of Decorating It
    You Could Stick Beads, Sequins On
    Or You Could Leave It Simple Pretty & Plain.
    (:

  7. Step 7

    Hope You Liked It.
    (: Enjoy Your Aprons My Loves
