How do ya make apron tops?

Hey everyone,im new here .Does anyone know any good websites on how to make apron tops.I love they way they look but i can never find any ones that i really like and i dont want to buy them online.CAn someone help me out ??

 

i dont know of a website, but they are really easy to make...
just make a good size rectangle of patches
attach little loops on the sides (about 2 on each side)
and attach 2 longer pieces of fabric to the top that would go threw each loop plus some extra and....
VOILA
you can decide everything else because i think they are the easiest things to make

hope i helped
peace and love

 

I made a diagram for you

See, basically you have a rectangle and a square. The rectangle is the bodice, make it as high as your boobs and as wide as it needs to be to wrap around your back without quite touching the ends (if that makes sense).

Then sew the square to the rectangle. Make it the right length so it hits your hips, unless you want a crop top. Then add loops and straps. Voila!

Hope this helped.

 

You explained it really well

 

If you wanted to make an investment to teach yourself how to sew a variety of patchy clothes (including apron tops) I would suggest getting Lauren Clay's Threads for Heads book. It is fabulous for the beginning sewer- I think she is still selling them... here is her website

I would be willing to help u...i sew very often...check out my gallery to see some of the threads i've made...just pm me if ur interested..there are many different styles of tops to make....don't limit urself mamma...

 

a lot of people here might find that interesting.

 

that books alright, i have it. i would moreso recommend buying "sewing for dummies" and then going on craftster.org or here to ask for hippie clothing instructions though. i wouldnt class it as beginner friendly, but only because some of the bare essentials are missing. they have another 3 bodice styles in there if you want a little more individual apron top, or something more fitting.
