How to make an apron

-

 Quick and easy one day sewing project + pattern





For this project you will need:

- pattern

- material, preferably cotton

- tailor's chalk and tape measure

- sewing pins

- sewing machine

- iron


Pattern:




All measurements are in centimeters.

Parts:

1x lower part of the apron
1x breastplate
2x pocket
2x patch for breastplat 
4x patch for pocket
1x waistband (150x4 cm)
2x straps (100x8 cm)

Add 1 - 1.5 cm of seam allowance.

How to make.

You'll need 250 cm/80 cm of cotton ( in my case blue) and one piece of decorative cotton fabric for patches. Sew the tailored patches to the breastplate and pockets (wrong side to the wrong side) and turn to the right side. Iron the rest of their rolled-up seam allowances and sew on the face with a machine.
The large patched pockets on the aprons have primarily a practical purpose. The fabric patches are just a decoration.

Cut the lower part of the apron with 1 cm allowance for the seam at the waist and 2 cm each on the sides and on the hem. The seam allowances on the pockets and breastplate are 1 cm.

Waistband: 
2 strips 4 cm wide and 150 cm long with 1 cm seam allowance on all sides. 

Straps: 
2 strips 8 cm wide and 100 cm long with 1 cm seam allowance on all sides. 

Sewing:
If not otherwise, fold and hem the hem. Fold the folds in
waist and sew them on. Fold the shoulder straps in half lengthwise and iron the crease, fold the seam allowances inward and, when beading, catch in the same seam as the bodice. Turn the seam allowances of the waist band inside out and iron, and when sewing, catch the upper seam and the breastplate, and the lower part of the apron in the lower seam. Find your pockets. The straps are crossed and fasten on the back. Holes should be made in accordance with the above, the bottom edge should be 2 x stripes, and the buttons should be sewn on the shoulder straps.

And there you go. Cute apron.

How to make a medieval tent?

Not so long ago, I wanted to build a medieval tent. Actually, I needed to build a medieval tent.  The first idea was to buy one. Now that I look beck on it, I should have done that.  But at the time I did not have the money to buy one. Medieval tents cost around 1000€ and that's just for the tent part. Shipping is not included in this price.  Thus my adventure to build one beggins.  Step 1. Know what you want! The tent I wanted is a small medieval tent from the 11th century. This needs 2 poles that will hold it up and 1 pole that will connect those 2 and hold the center up.. I wanted one side to be completely open and to be able to use that side as a parasol. Step 2. Blueprint! This is my original drawing. It should be 180 cm high, 200 cm wide and 400 cm long. Once I had that, I was able to do some math. The tent consists of only one rectangle (2) and 8 triangles (1). 4 on each side. On this sketch (1) and (2) you can see the measurements I used without seam allowa...
