How to make 18 inch doll apron with pattern included

Apron Pattern, directions for those with some sewing experience.

First choose your base color and contrasting color or pattern if you don't want a solid colored apron.  You can make this apron with a quarter of a yard.  Contrasting color are for pockets and waistband.
Choose your lace and sew it into the inside of the arm straps.  The pattern marks where to place the lace but experiment on how long you would like it to be.



Apron top stitched together, before turned inside out.  Apron skirt cut out and top gathered.






To turn the waist band and ties inside out, attach a safety pin to the end and push the safety pin through the inside of the "tunnel" created by the fabric.



Turn the top inside out and attach to the bottom.  Flip the top back up and once the waist band is sewn together and turned inside out, attach the waistband between the top and bottom of apron.






Next zig zag the bottom hem of the apron skirt, turn under and attach the lace.  Iron seam on pockets, gather the bottom in a stitch and sew a seam on the top.

Attach the shoulder straps to the back of the waist band and attach the ties to the end of the waist band.  Sew the pockets on the front of the apron and you are done!
