The Optional Pocket

  • Hem one 25" edge of the pocket by pressing under 1/4" (wrong sides together) and pressing under again. You may want to cover the raw edge with contrasting bias tape as shown in the finished apron.
  • Place the raw 25" edge of the pocket on the hem of the apron with right side of the pocket against the wrong side of the apron. Use a 1/2" seam to join the pocket and the body of the apron.
  • Press the pocket up on to the front side of the body of the apron.
  • Use a row of top stitching up the center of the pocket to create two pockets.
  • Work the sides of the apron as one piece of fabric following the regular directions.
