Making a Clothespin Apron
It really
isn't hard to create a clothespin apron, as a matter of fact, any
apron with nice big pockets can be used for hanging out laundry.
I have two that I like to use, one is a vintage full apron in pretty
pale purple, green and yellow with yellow rick-rack trim.
The other is a new bib apron my mom made for me using Mary
Engelbreit fabric. Both of these are great because they have
nice deep pockets for stashing pins in.
If you would like to make
your own clothespin apron, but don't do a lot of sewing here's an easy way to
adapt any pre-made apron.
You will need
-
1 pre-made apron, any
style you like
-
1 dish towel
(preferably not terry cloth, as pins will snag it)
-
pins & sewing machine
or fusible webbing and needle & thread
What to Do
-
Wash and dry both
pieces.
-
Center dish towel on
apron (this will be your pocket)
-
Pin towel in place and
stitch around the two sides, bottom and 2-3 inches from either side on the top
(making sure to leave a big enough space for your hand to fit comfortably)
