DIY Mini Soap Aprons

Mini Soap Apron Valentines

Dear Sis,

I know Valentine’s Day is a few months off, but I also these as birthday gifts, and why not save some for Mother’s Day too:) I hand sewed mine because I found that more relaxing and less nap time disruptive, but they would be much quicker to machine sew. 




Materials

(6 x 8 inch) board cloth fabric remnant

(20 inches) coordinating 1/4 inch double fold bias tape

Mini Soap Apron and Bottle Valentine Template PDF




Assembly Instructions

  1. Print PDF Pattern. Cut out apron pattern.
  2. Press fabric. Fold it in half to make a 6 x 4 inch double layer piece. Place pattern on fold line and secure with pins. Cut out apron.
  3. Turn under and press 3/8 inch hem into neckline, sides, and bottom edge of apron. No need to press the armscye, it will be bound in bias.
  4. Secure pressed hems with machine straight stitch or hand running stitch.
  5. Leaving 5 inch ties on either side, open bias and place it over the raw edge of each armscye. Pin in place. Remember to tuck the raw edges of each tie end inside the tape.
  6. Secure bias with machine straight stitch, or hand running stitch for the length of the bias and whip stitch at the very ends.

One 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of card stock makes 3 bottle Valentines.

Happy Sewing,
