Misses' Wraparound Apron Sewing Pattern Kit, Code 9312

I am skeptical to buy certain items online and patterns make the list given how delicate the pattern pieces are as well as not being able to see them in person. This arrived in mint condition! The pattern itself is simple to use. I found one section of the instructions a bit unclear and had to reread a few times, but got it figured out. The sizing is spot on and price is in line with what you get. I’ve made a few aprons so far and plan to make more given the feedback to how much people love them!

Because I am apparently clumsy, I wear aprons whenever I eat or prep food, especially when I am dressed for work and appointments. I can sew simple things, but I have always purchased my aprons at craft fairs, which is silly because: I can sew! When I saw this pattern, with the ruffles and the floral fabric, I had to at least try, and I am glad I did. As I am short, I made the shorter apron, so I cannot review the ruffle part of the pattern, because the ruffles fit only the longer version, not the shorter version, so I guess that would be a negative for this pattern. The pattern includes how to make your own bias tape, which is a good thing to know. Since I was making the shorter version, and I have made my own bias tape, I just bought some that coordinated with my fabric. I have made two aprons, and have fabric for two more. The pockets are generous, but I did have to tweak the placement, as the markings for pocket placement don't always line up, no matter how careful I am. The pattern also has directions for adding extra trim to the pockets for the longer version, but there is no reason one cannot add the extra trim to the pockets for the shorter version, so of course, I HAD to add some ruffled lace! (If you knew me, you would get the humor.) I wear a size 16 (USA) and made the Large size apron, as there are four sizes in the pattern. I rarely cut the paper patterns; I trace them onto pattern fabric, which is more durable than the delicate tissue paper on which patterns are printed. This means I can use the smaller sizes in the pattern if I want to sew aprons for gifts. Anyway, if you make the short version, size Large, with store-bought bias tape (extra wide, double fold) you need around 7 yards; 8 yards to add trim to the pockets. I found that out the hard way: I was sewing the bias tape on the apron (I had not yet trimmed the pockets), and the 2 3-yards packages I had bought were not enough. So off to the fabric store, with bad hair and no make-up to buy one. more. package. As someone who likes to sew, but has minimal skills and no teachers, I found this pattern to be manageable. If someone is a good and fast sewist, this would be a good pattern to make for craft fairs, I think. Overall, I recommend this pattern. I am very happy with the two aprons I have sewn so far, and look forward to making more, some with holiday themes. I included photos of the first two I made: the one with green trim was made with gifted fabric from an elderly neighbor who had had to give up her beloved quilting, so free fabric; the purple flowered apron was new fabric. Since I usually sew and knit for others, these were projects I finally made for myself. (The lighting was odd, but that was what I had.)'

Brand new pattern with a variety of sizes and lengths

I love this pattern! I have made 7 of these aprons as beginning projects for my sewing hobby. I learned to make bias tape!

Easy to use. Cute pattern

Love this pattern. Had one in the 70’s.

Looks like a good pattern and relatively simple.

New to sewing and I was able to make a beautiful apron for my cousins 50th birthday. It took me a few hours to finish and was so rewarding to see the end result.

Lovely, lovely pattern. I made the coverall out of an old length of 1950's upholstery fabric in an afternoon, so easy. Highly recommend for those liking an old fashioned and practical garment.

Love this pattern! Easy to follow, super happy with this!

Je cherchais un patron de tablier japonais,par contre il est en anglais

Perfect. I’ve not used it but l see no reason why it wouldn’t be the usual standard. I very much like the design
