Want to learn how to make a DIY apron for yourself or for someone who really enjoys spending time in the kitchen? You’ll recognize them because they take care with every ingredient and choose each utensil they use with great care. A personalized apron can be the perfect gift when you’ve made it with your own hands.
In today’s post, we’re going to show you two beautiful and very simple designs: one full-length apron and another skirt-style version. It would be perfect if you also added a special detail. It could be an appliqué with the cook’s name or a drawing of their favorite specialty… Something you know would make them happy.
And if it’s for you, it’s even easier. You only have to make it 100% your own.
How to make an apron: the easy option and the super-easy option1. The easy option: skirt-style
If you’ve been following us for a while, you may already know this apron-making tutorial on our TouTube channel. You can watch the entire process step by step. We used a pattern, but it will be easy for you to make one yourself using a real-life model.
It will also be useful for learning how to make a ruffle. We show you which stitch to use and how to gather the strip of fabric so it turns out perfectly. The great thing is that you can apply the technique to other designs.
If you want to make it resistant to dirt, try laminating it with lamifix. If you’re not familiar with this material, which we have available in the shop, you can learn how to use lamifix fusible interfacing in this other post.
2. The super-easy option: a panel already cut and ready to sew
In this case, you don’t even need a pattern because it already comes ready to cut and sew. You can also find it discounted in the shop. You’ll find the instructions right on the panel in case you have any questions about how to sew the ties. In this case, you can’t choose the fabric, but if you like matryoshka dolls, you’ll love the design just as it is.
This is a full-length design, for the most adventurous cooks.
Now you know how to make a DIY apron, but if you don’t have the time or would like us to make it for you, you can also place a custom order with us. For adults or children, using your favorite fabrics and with every detail you can imagine.
In any case, with these simple options, we encourage you to give it a try yourself.
And now you can make anything you can think of in the kitchen!
