1 of Pellon® 950F Shir-Tailor® for apron lining

Fabric 2. Fuse on back side of fabric according to

product instructions. Do the same for all sizes.

Cut 2 1/2” wide strips of Pellon® 950F Shir-Tailor®

the width of the three pockets. Press Shir-Tailor® on

the back side of pocket lining following product in-

structions.

Appliqué Trace appliqué designs (page 5) onto the paper of

805 Wonder-Under®. Do not cut out individual de-

sign but leave margin around design.

For adult size use appropriate size heart and hands

for the pockets.

For child & Buddy size aprons use appropriate size

heart appliqué designs.

Press Wonder-Under®/design onto the wrong side of

design fabric and press in place following the in-

structions on 805 Wonder-Under®.

Cut out designs, peel off paper, place on pocket and

press in place as illustrated. Stitch around design with

stitch of your choice.

ets.

Lining

Neck & Waist Tie On adult aprons, the ties are finished 2” wide.

Take strips D & E, placing two fabrics right

sides together and stitch together 1/2” seam al-

lowance as illustrated. Leave one end open. Clip

the corners, trim seam allowance and turn.

The Child & Buddy apron straps finish 1” wide.

Stitch as illustrated and trim seam allowance.

A good way to turn the straps is using the eraser

end of a long pencil. After turned, work out the

points with pin or seam ripper, so they are nice

& sharp.

trated with raw end lined up with raw edge of

apron. Pin in place.

Place the two aprons right sides together.

Pin all around the outside edge of the apron.

Stitch around all edges, leaving opening at bot-

tom.

Carefully clip corners as illustrated being sure to

not cut stitches.

Turn to right side through opening in bottom

edge.

Press well and stitch around outside edge of

apron with decorative stitch.

On loose end of neck tie, stitch one side of Vel-

cro, stitch the other side to opposite side of top to

make a loop.
