Apron Body - 45" by 27" piece

Stay stitch 1/4" from all edges.
Using the stay stitch line as a guide, turn and press the 1/4" to the wrong side, on all edges.
Sides- 27" Edges
Turn under 1" and press. This forms the side hem. Pin and top stitch.
Bottom - 45" Edge
Press under 2", to the wrong side, for the hem. Line up ends, pin and top stitch.
Top - 45" Edge
Press under 3.5" to wrong side. Line up ends and pin in place. Top stitch along 1/4" stay stitched edge, keeping your stitches as close to the edge as possible. Top stitch 1" from the top folded edge. This forms your drawstring casing.

Note: Setting a seam guide is the best way to be sure that your top stitching is straight.
