Fourth of July BBQ Apron: Cut Fabric

Wash and iron both fabrics.

Fold the red fabric neatly in half lengthwise from selvage to selvage.

Apron 

 

Frth3 

frth8

Start at the top of the fabric with the fold on the right. Mark a 6.5-inch line perpendicular to the fold and mark a 1-inch line 90 degrees down from the end of the 6.5-inch line, as shown above. The bottom of this 1-inch mark will be POINT A

frth4

Make a little mark 1-inch below the 6.5-inch line at the fold.

frth9

Make another little mark 16-inches down from this 1-inch mark on the fold. (I used my pencil, which will come out when the apron is washed but you might want to use chalk if you want to give it as a gift.) We will call this mark POINT B.

frth7

Mark away from the fold  13-inches from POINT A. This will be POINT C.

frth10

Mark a diagonal line from POINT A to POINT C

frth11

frth12
Mark a straight line down from POINT C, 13-inches from the fold for 20-inches. The end of this line will be POINT D. This will be the skirt of the apron. Make a straight horizontal line from POINT D to the fold.

frth13

Now cut the whole thing out!

Pocket 

frth14

Cut the pocket piece 17-inches x 10-inches.

Tie 

 

frth16

Fold the rest of the blue fabric in half from selvage to selvage. Cut three 4-inch strips from selvage to selvage and cut off the selvages.

Always enjoy your projects, you write in a language that I can understand and your entries have really inspired me as a beginner, to try things I normally would not due to my novice skills. Thanks!
