Aprons are great for aspiring chefs (or just the at-home gourmet), BBQ aficionados, or as a utility apron for someone who works with their hands. This is an easy and fairly quick sewing tutorial that just requires a yard of fabric. The faux leather closures add a touch of ruggedness that any guy would appreciate. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\n\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EAprons were some of my first sewing projects. It taught me a lot about using a sewing machine as well as various  sewing skills and terminology. However, all the aprons I made were for myself or other women with ruffles, bows, and floral prints. I had never actually sewed an apron for a guy before. To be honest, it seemed a bit boring and simple of a project. However, I had a lot of green canvas fabric and wanted to put it to good use. I also had a pair of faux leather closure straps I salvaged from a pair of boots I threw out.

I think what turned me off for awhile was making all that ruffle. However, I picked up a remnant last fall from the fabric store that just screamed \"apron\" to me. In the spirit of giving, I decided to turn it into a Christmas present. I dedicated a whole afternoon to just making the ruffle. It was a lot of work, but I love how it turned out (and so did the recipient!) so I think it was worth it.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003E\nI was left with extra ruffle, but not quite enough to make a whole 'nother\napron. As cute as the original had been, I just didn't want to spend the\ntime consuming process of making more ruffle.

Instead, I used cut a\nlining for the bib to finish the edges and cut the skirt in a\nrectangle shape for easier hemming. I still liked the look of the\nrounded skirt, so I decided to make a rounded pocket, using the\nruffle along the edges. It's like my apron\nhas a little apron!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003E\nFinally, it may\nhave been the way I drafted the pattern top, or more likely my not-so-well endowed chest, but it gaped.

The obvious reason being that aprons protect your clothes during messy kitchen experiments. But I also like how a pretty apron can you feel a bit better about yourself when you've been lounging around the house in an old t-shirt and sweats all day. Yes, those two reasons contradict each other. That's why I like having multiple aprons.

Along with the basics, they taught me how to sew waistbands, use interfacing, and make ruffles. These skills were very useful for other projects. Aprons teach a lot of the basics for clothes making, but with less expensive fabrics and less worry about messing up.\u0026nbsp;After all, it's just an apron!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;\"\u003EI've rounded up for you 10 free apron tutorials.
