Clothespin Apron- Free Pattern!

Today I have a free apron pattern for you! How exciting is that? I am very excited to share this with you. A Clothes-pin Apron. Isn't is cute? The pattern is from a little booklet from the 1920's. It has one big pocket with lots of room for those clothes pins.
 Finished apron

The apron is made from two squares of 18" fabric. A fat quarter is 18" x 22", so that makes it handy! And half a package of bias tape. I think it took me about 20 minutes to whip up.
 Pattern pinned, ready to cut.
Cut an 18" square for apron back and use pattern to cut apron pocket.

 Sew bias tape on edges of pocket openings.
 Pocket edges with bias tape sewn on. I took a picture because it is a little hard to describe which edges to sew. As you can see it is the ones on the sides that make the pocket opening edges.

Pin pocket and back together matching all edges. The pins are there! You just can't see them in the bright fabric. Sew bias tape to side edge continuing around bottom and up other side.

Now for the top! Cut a piece of bias tape 72" long. Mark center with pin, mark 9" on either side. Turn in 1/4" on end of bias tape and stitch edges together until you reach first mark. This is for the ties.
When you reach first mark, insert top of apron in bias tape and sew.
When you reach the end of the apron, continue sewing the bias tape, turning in 1/4" at end edge.
You're done!
Here is the pattern to download and directions. The pattern is in three pages which you will need to tape together.
I hope you have as much fun as I had! Let me know how it goes!
