Gather Materials

Cut the Fabric
Using sewing scissors, cut the main fabric into the desired apron shape, ensuring to leave extra for seam allowances. Cut the lining fabric to the same shape.

Pin the Fabric
Place the main fabric and lining fabric together, right sides facing, and secure with sewing pins along the edges.

Sew the Edges
Using the sewing machine, sew along the pinned edges, leaving the top open for the neck strap and ensuring to backstitch at the start and end for durability.

Turn the Apron
Carefully turn the apron inside out through the top opening, ensuring the corners are sharp.

Attach Bias Tape
Cut the bias tape to the appropriate lengths for the neck and waist straps. Sew the bias tape along the edges of the apron, using the sewing machine to secure it in place.

Finish the Edges
Fold the top opening inward and sew it closed, then reinforce the neck and waist straps by sewing additional lines of stitching.

Final Press
Iron the finished apron to give it a polished look, ensuring all seams are flat and crisp.
