Today's project - Aprons for your dish soap bottles! I am not sure why a dish soap bottle needs an apron, but they are cute! My sister did point out that it keeps the bottle from slipping out of wet hands. I also tried to make it more functional by adding a pocket to the apron. You could either put a little plastic scraper, which I am forever misplacing, or use it to hold your jewelry while you wash dishes.
Materials Needed:
Scraps of fabric (not more then 1/8 yd)
Scraps of coordinating 1/4" bias tape (not more then 1yd)
Cut 2 apron pieces and one pocket piece.
(To make pocket piece measure 2 1/4" from bottom of apron, draw a straight line across. Either fold or cut on line.)
 |
| Sew bias tape along top of pocket edge. |
 |
| Pin pocket in place. |
 |
| Sew bias tape along top edge of apron, cutting off access. |
 |
| Measure 2 1/2" from end of bias tape, mark with pin. |
 |
| Sew bias tape from end to marking pin. |
 |
| Insert top corner of apron into bias tape and sew. |
 |
| Continue sewing bias tape around apron to opposite top corner. |
 |
| Cut bias tape 2 1/2" from edge of apron. |
 |
| Fold bias tape around first end of neck strap and continue sewing. |
 |
| Measure a 12" piece of bias tape for tie. Pin in place matching centers. |
 |
| Sew tie on, starting at end of bias tape. |
 |
| Finished! |
