How to make an apron pocket
We consider step by step the manufacturing procedure of the overhead option.
We outline the location
First, we determine where the details will be located and how it will all visually look. First, we cut out the layout on paper and by means of samples we determine the place where the future pocket or pockets on the apron will be located.
Determine the size and shape
Reference! There can be one, two or three pockets on the apron. They can be located both in the upper part of the apron and its lower part.
So, in the upper part, of course, the one-piece option is suitable. But in the lower part there are two options: two or one.
Size can be either small or large. It all depends on the functions shown for this part of the apron.
As for the shape, most often it is rectangular or with rounded lower edges. If desired, you can decorate with applique or lace.
We make a pattern
To build a pattern, draw a rectangle with the main dimensions without allowances for hem.
In order to make the corners round, cut out the rectangle, fold it in half and cut it so that the corners are rounded equally.
We cut out the pattern, it is ready for use.
Cut
- The material needs to be decomposed. To avoid wrinkles, creases, moisten and iron before cutting to prevent further shrinkage of the fabric.
- Put the pattern on the material and draw a small outline around it. This will be the outline of the part. We lay the pattern strictly along the shared thread. Be sure to leave fabric cuts on each side when cutting: the top edge is at least 3 cm, the bottom and side edges are about 1.5 cm. We cut the part taking into account the allowance. The pocket is almost ready for use.
Important! You can use both the fabric from which the product is made, and completely different in color and composition of the thread.
How to sew a pocket on an apron
- Before sewing on a pocket, all seams circled around the contour must be ironed. We direct the seam allowance in one direction, fixing it with an iron.
- If there are rounded corners, then it is necessary to make notches on them with scissors.
- Iron the line of entry into the pocket 2 times, since there are 2 marks. One mark excludes the opening of the thread at least 0.7 cm into the inner part. Another main is the entrance to the pocket.
- There is an option and one hem. Then it is necessary to overcast the edges leading inward with an overlock to protect against shedding of open tissue sections.
- We take the finished product and, by superimposing each other, connect the parts, select the location.
- Then we draw a chalk around the office so as not to displace it during further processing. Fasten with pins and outline with stitches 1-3 cm long.
- Now it remains to sew a finishing line. At the same time, we leave a distance of at least 1–2 mm from the edge and at least 1 cm from the lower and side sections. The line should be even, the width of the seam uniform.
- Be sure to make reinforcing stitches so that the pockets do not come off. Usually they are fixed at the beginning and at the end of the line.
Attention! If you want to decorate the product with decorative elements, this is done on the workpiece when two more bases are not connected.
We can say with confidence that even a beginner can cope with the task of sewing an apron with a pocket.
