It was boxing day, and i got bored. So i designed an apron. And i made it! I hope the how-to is useful, because i've never made one before. Thanks for looking! :D x

First design the apron.
Next get your measurements. You need the desired length. Your waist size and your side-to-side measurement. Take your waist size and add around 20-30cm for a bow.
Next take your fabric, and cut it to the size you want it (Length X Waist-to-waist). Then round off the two bottom corners.
Take one of your pieces of ribbon and pin it around the sides of the apron. Leave the top part un-pinned. You need to make sure you fold it over the edges so half of the ribbon is one side, and half is the other so it doesn't fray.
Now sew this in place. Then take out the pins.
Next fold over the top few cm over a couple of times so that the edges don't fray, then pin the other peice of ribbon on. You'll need to find the mid-point of the apron, and the mid-point of the ribbon so they are equal, and then pin from there.
Once you've pinned everything, you'll need to sew them all (Obviously!)
Now, get the piece of contrasting fabric and cut it to the size that you'd like the pocket. Then pin in place and sew.
Stand back and admire your handiwork! Hopefully the sewing is better than mine, because my sewing machine broke halfway through and i had to hand sew the rest. I hope you like it! :D
