learn how to make a harvest apron from Ikea tea towels with this tutorial lay your first tea towel flat on a work surface and then layer it with a another tea towel fold it in half lining up the outsides and pinning in place on the outside edges make sure the outside edges of the folded tea towel are lined up nicely with the outside edges of the main tea towel and sew down the sides also be sure that if you're using a stripe fabric for your main tea towel that the pocket fabric lines up with one of the stripes at the top and the bottom you will sew down both sides and also along the bottom of course leave the top open because this will be your harvest apron pocket next you're going to cut out a piece of fabric ten inches wide by 102 inches long that will be the tie for your apron around the top bring the tie over to your machine and fold it in half and sew all the way down the long edge notice that at the top I also folded the tops inward so that whenever I turn this out there will be a nice finished seam and no raw edges you after you've sewn all the way down the long edge grab a large safety pin and use that to push the apron string right side out so that all the raw edges are hidden inside once you finished pulling it right-side out press it flat next top stitch all around your apron strings on all four sides this will keep your seams nice and flat bolter apron and have to find the middle point and put a pin in place do the same for the band so that you can line them up and make sure your apron is centered on the band next bring your apron over to your machine and sew the band to the apron to create two pockets instead of one very large pocket I found the center and sewed right down it enjoy your new harvest apron this fall you can find more pictures details and sources at farmhouse on Boone com
