Grilling Accessory: Gingham Apron Equipped with Tool Pockets
DIY Gingham Grilling Apron: A Practical and Easy-to-Make DIY Project
Are you ready to take your grilling game to the next level? Look no further than this DIY gingham grilling apron! This project is not only fun and easy, but it also provides a practical solution for easy access to your grilling tools during cooking.
To start, gather your materials. The recommended fabric for this project is canvas, denim, or common cotton fabric, depending on your personal preference. It's essential to ensure that the fabric you choose is machine-washable before cutting and sewing.
The fabric for the apron itself should measure 26 in. x 31 1/2 in. Cut two apron ties measuring 2 in. wide and 38 in. long, and a neck strap measuring 2 1/2 in. wide and 30 in. long. For the pocket, cut a piece measuring 7 in. x 15 in.
Begin by marking and sewing pocket sections at 4 1/2 in. from the side edges of the pocket. Place the pocket on the center front of the apron and pin it in place. Sew in place using a square shape with an X through the middle to secure the strap and ties.
Fold and press the straps as described. Pin the neck strap ends under the top of the apron front and the ties under either side of the apron front. Sew around all four edges of the neck strap and waist ties.
Next, create curved armholes by marking and connecting two points with a curved line, then cutting through both layers of fabric along the curved line. Sew around the sides and bottom of the apron, removing pins as you sew.
On the top edge of the pocket, fold over another 1/4 in. and press, then sew. Fold over 1/4 in. on each side and press the pocket fabric with a hot iron.
This DIY grilling apron is not only practical but also makes for an excellent DIY gift. Follow these steps, and you'll be grilling in style in no time! Happy sewing!
