Wipe Down Apron Tutorial

While the aprons I made previously in 'The Crafting Begins!" are lovely and pretty, they are not wipeable which really is essential if you don't want to stick them in the wash everyday.

So here are my new Wipe Down Aprons!



What You Need:

Oil Cloth
Contrast Fabric
Sewing Machine
Iron 

Method:

Cut your desired shape out of the oil cloth


Cut enough length to edge your apron, you may need two or three strips. Make the strips 3inches wide. 


Now take your strips, iron the whole length in half long ways, then iron each edge into the middle. 


Now fold in half and iron, so you are left with a smooth, fray free finish. 


Slide the edge of your apron between the binding made and pin securely all the way round. 


Machine sew all the way around. 


For the straps and neck tie, repeat the binding stage, cut out more fabric and iron as before, now sew down the length and cut to appropriate length. Sew onto the desired area.  

You can make a pocket and edge it to add to the apron if you wish. 


Finished Apron!
