Sewing an apron with pockets is a simple yet rewarding project that requires minimal materials and no pattern. Start by selecting a sturdy fabric, like cotton or linen, and cut a large rectangle for the main body of the apron—approximately 70cm by 90cm will work well for most sizes.

Next, for the straps, cut two long strips of fabric, about 5cm wide and 75cm long. Once you have your pieces, hem the sides of the main apron fabric by folding the edges inwards and stitching them down to prevent fraying.

To create the pockets, cut two smaller rectangles—around 25cm by 30cm should suffice. Hem the top edge of each pocket, then fold the fabric in half, right sides together, and stitch along the sides and bottom. Turn the pockets inside out, press them flat, and top-stitch along the edges to add a nice finish.

Position the pockets on the front of the apron, pin them in place, and sew around the sides and bottom, leaving the top edge open.

Finally, attach the straps by pinning them to the top corners of the apron, making sure they are securely sewn, and you’re ready to go! With just a little time and creativity, you can create a functional and stylish apron perfect for any cook or crafter.
