Sewing. I don’t sew.
I hemmed a pair of pants once, and they fell apart in the wash…
Needless to say, I was very excited when my apron actually turned out to be wearable and fairly durable!~ :3 Also… I apologize in advance for the lower quality photos, as after I moved out to California I unfortunately sold away my expensive goodies for stupid grown up stuff – like rent and bills D: D: D:
What You Need:
Stuff and Things *^.^*
- I bought 3 yards of yellow fabric (The lady looked at me funny, but I’d rather have too much than not enough…)
- Yellow yarn
Optional Items to complete the look 
- Black fabric or an old western style bowtie
- White button down shirt
- Black poofy skirt (I used a fluffy, crinoline skirt, but a pleated skirt would be more accurate)
- Black tights or knee high socks
- Black dress shoes
Make A Hole:
I started in the top, middle of the fabric and drew the hole my head would fit through. It needs to be flat on the bottom, because that will go across your chest and round in the back to curve with your neck. I made it about an inch thick, so don’t start at the very top of the fabric!
Make A Hole!
Test, Test, Test!!
After cutting the hole, try it on to make sure the flat part covers from one side of your chest to the other and that it sits at the right height. I made mine to sit level with my armpits 
I think it looks most natural that way.
Continue to draw out half the apron and fold it over to trace an accurate other half for the full apron. I held the fabric up to mark how wide it needed to be around my waist and how short I needed it to be. You can choose to include the fabric that will be tied around your waist or you can add it later. I included it, because it was easier than cutting it separately and having more sewing to do…
After cutting out one successful apron from the yellow fabric, I traced a second one and pinned them together to make it thicker and less see through.
Apron Pattern - Doubled Up
Sewing. OMG!
After trying it on to make sure it tied properly and fit correctly and was the appropriate length I went to the sewing machine… I sewed the two patterns together and then folded the edges under and sewed around the apron to hem the edges. I also cut the bottom corners of the apron, so they were more round and not so sharp.
Adding the frilly edges was a lot easier than I had expected. I took a long piece of fabric and doubled it to make it nice and thick. Then you fold it as you sew it to the edge of the apron. I put the frills along the whole bottom half of the apron. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, as it is supposed to be scrunchy and fluffy, so minor imperfections will not be too noticeable. Rounding the corners of the bottom of the apron help as you add the frilly edging. I just took a deep breath and started sewing fabric to the edge and folding every 1/2″-1″ or so and achieved a simple frilly apron look in about 15mins. 
Frills, Frills, Frills!
It was simple and cheap. Just remember to use a faded yellow fabric. There are some really vibrant, yellow fabrics, but the dull yellow looks the best and seems to match more than some sort of bright, gaudy, sunshine puke yellow or something…
