22 décembre 2021

The Cook's Apron pattern is a must-have for anyone who enjoys cooking in the kitchen. It's also ideal for beginners. The full-length drawstring allows you to adjust the apron to any size. The large kangaroo pocket stores small but important items. For an average height, the apron is knee-length.

The pattern is available in one size.

Cook was sewn in this tutorial from a Christmas cotton fabric.

Required materials:

We recommend a cotton fabric.

Sizes 34-50

Outer fabric

1.30 m

140 cm wide

Cutting:

Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as per marking clips!

Cut out the pattern pieces from your outer fabric. Lay the fabric right side up. Position the selvedges parallel to the center so you can place the front piece, front pocket, and ribbon on the fold. The pattern pieces should all be laid with the writing facing up. Always align the grain arrow on all pieces in the same direction and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all notches from the pattern by making a 3mm snip with scissors or chalk. Notch the seam allowance on the fold, as this is always the center. Markings define the positions of darts, pocket positions, and much more. Transfer these either with chalk or pins.

You will need fabric:

1x front part in the fracture
1x pocket in the front
2x band in fracture
2x receipt tunnels opposite

Sewing instructions:

Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as per marking clips!

To sew this apron you will need a sewing machine.

In addition to the description, the colored lines in the pictures show you where a seam needs to be sewn or something needs to be glued.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances not specifically marked are 1cm wide!
Have fun sewing!

Double-press and double-press the side seams and hem. Note the seam allowances in the pattern. Also double-press and double-press the top fold of the front piece, according to the pattern.

Iron the lower cut edge of the facings once,…

...double-fold the kangaroo pocket openings and fold the remaining seam allowances of the pocket once. Pay attention to the seam allowances in the pattern and use the pocket template as a guide when ironing.

Then stitch the pocket openings 0.5 cm wide.

Your pocket is ready, and you can stitch it onto the front piece, close to the edge. Note the markings in the pattern, which define the position of your pocket.

Then stitch the side seams and hems at 1 cm, as well as the upper fold in the front piece close to the edge.

Now it's time to prepare the tracks that will function as tunnels. The shorter sections are taken twice.

… and stitched 0.5 cm wide.

Then place the facings right sides together on the front piece and sew them together with 1cm seam allowances. For curves, trim the seam allowances with scissors to make them easier to iron flat.

The seam allowances are then stitched flat, as far as possible. This method not only facilitates the final ironing but also ensures that the facing, if not topstitched separately, automatically tucks inward rather than curling up. Only the facing is stitched onto the seam allowances, close to the edge. The stitching line is then visible only from the wrong side of the fabric, not from the right side.

Now stitch your turned and ironed facing onto the front piece close to the edge.

Now let's prepare the ribbon. This is cut in half and needs to be sewn together at the center back, right sides together.

Place the ribbon, right sides together, in a fold, and sew it together with a 1cm gap all around. Don't forget to leave a 2-3cm hole in the middle for turning.
