+Full Apron with Bib from Modern Fabric
+======================================
+
+.. figure:: apron.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+This apron is inspired on the instructions from :cite:`1892:home` (pag
+137) from 1892, adapted for modern, double-width fabric.
+
+The original instructions claimed that the apron without a bib could be
+sewn in one hour by machine, and even with the bib and a pocket it is a
+quick and easy project.
+
+The adaptation kept the selvedges on the sides, and most of the
+construction methods, but significantly changed the original
+proportions: the side gores are half as wide, their selvedge length is a
+bit shorter and the band is shorter and narrower. The hem in these
+instructions is also much narrower, but that can be easily changed back
+to the recommended 8 cm.
+
+For cutting efficiency there is also some piecing, most notably on the
+bib, which probably wouldn't have been needed, but then *piecing is
+period, period*.
+
+Materials
+---------
+
+Fabric
+^^^^^^
+
+* ~1 m washable fabric ~150 cm wide. 
+
+Medium weight cottons or linens in plain colours, checks or stripes are
+good for a serviceable working apron; the original instructions
+recommended gingham. The pattern requires a fabric that has no right or
+wrong side, as half of the bib will have to show the wrong side.
+
+Notions
+^^^^^^^
+
+* sewing thread to match the fabric;
+* tape for ties or two buttons and button twist thread;
+* 2 safety pins.
+
+Pattern
+-------
+
+Measure the desired lenght of the apron, add 5 cm for the hem, cut a
+rectangle of fabric of that length, selvedge to selvedge, on the straigh
+grain (either by ripping or cutting on a thread).
+
+.. figure:: cutting_pattern.svg
+   :align: center
+
+Cut on the straight grain two panels on the sides, each one quarter of
+the width of the fabric, leaving a center panel that is twice as wide.
+
+.. figure:: 01-cutting_gores.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Now cut two side gores such that the diagonal is as long as the length
+of the center panel; for a 100 cm long panel this will be a bit more
+than 90 cm, leaving a rectangle a bit less than 10 cm high for the band.
+
+Decide how high you want the bib to be, and cut two trapeziums from the
+remaining triangles such that when sewn together they will form a
+square with that side.
+
+From the remaining fabric you'll cut a base for buttons and a pocket.
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+.. figure:: 02-aligning_gores.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+.. figure:: 03-felled_hem_gores.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Align the bias edge of a side panel at half the sewing allowance
+distance from the edge of the front panel, sew, press towards the side
+panel, fold down the front panel edge and topstitch. Repeat on the other
+side.
+
+.. figure:: 04-hem.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Hem the bottom edge: fold it down by 2 cm twice, rounding the corners,
+topstitch. The side edges won't need an hem because they use the
+selvedge.
+
+.. figure:: 05-bands.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Cut the a band piece in half lengthwise, sew the two short edges without
+selvedge and press open; repeat for the other band piece.
+
+
+.. figure:: 06-gathers.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+.. figure:: 07-sandwich.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+
+Run two rows of gathering stitches at the top of the apron, gather it to
+46 cm; sandwich it between the two bands, centered on them, and sew
+from one selvedge to the other of the band.
+Press the allowances up.
+
+.. figure:: 09-bib.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Align the two bias edges of the bib at half an allowance of distance
+from each other, sew, press towards the short side, fold down the long
+allowance and topstitch.
+
+.. figure:: 10-bib_hems.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Hem the top and sides of the bib with a 1 cm hem with mitered corners.
+
+
+.. figure:: 11-attaching_bib.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Put the right side of the bib centered on the right side of the front
+band, sew, press towards the band all allowances, including the ones to
+the side of the band.
+
+.. figure:: 12-band.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Press also the back band, topstitch close to both borders of the band.
+
+Ties
+^^^^
+
+If you want to close the apron with ties, sew them to the ends of the
+band, long enough to go around the waist and tie in front; finish the
+ends.
+
+Button closure
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The band will probably be too short to go around the waist, so you will
+have to make a small extension with two buttons.
+
+Make two buttonholes at the ends of the band.
+
+From the leftovers, cut a rectangle long enough to go from below one
+buttonhole to the other one with the apron around the waist, plus sewing
+allowance, and four time as high as the finished band.
+
+.. figure:: 20-button_stand.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Fold it in half, then fold the allowances towards the center: you will
+get a rectangle made of four layers of fabric, press.
+Fold the ends in, press.
+
+Topstitch all around this rectangle, close to the border.
+
+.. figure:: 21-buttons_and_buttonholes.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Add two buttons at the ends.
+
+Pocket
+^^^^^^
+
+.. figure:: 30-pocket.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+When you've finished adding parts to the apron, you can cut a pocket
+from whatever leftovers you still have, hem all sides with a 1 cm hem,
+and topstitch to the front of the apron.

+Sleevelets
+==========
+
+.. figure:: ../1892-apron_with_optional_bib/apron_front.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Sleevelets or sleeve protectors based on the instructions on
+:cite:`1916:school` from 1916.
+
+They are mostly machine sewed, and are quite a quick and easy project,
+suitable for beginners.
+
+This is the variant with a buttoned cuff; an elastic may be inserted at
+the bottom (wider) end, but it will be the first part to get ruined in
+the wash, so the recommended plan is to sew the loops of elastic closed
+and wearing them on top of the sleevelets if needed.
+In many cases, the sleevelets are stable enough not to need the elastic
+anyway.
+
+Materials
+---------
+
+Fabric
+^^^^^^
+
+* ~35 cm washable fabric
+
+Medium weight cottons or linens in plain colours, checks or stripes are
+good; for office and shop work black is traditional, while in the
+kitchen or for housework it would have been white or gingham.
+
+Notions
+^^^^^^^
+
+* sewing thread to match the fabric;
+* buttonhole thread to match the fabric;
+* 2 small buttons;
+* 60–70 cm elastic (optional).
+
+Pattern
+-------
+
+Pattern
+^^^^^^^
+
+Get the valentina file for the pattern,
+:download:`sleevelets-school_sewing-1916.val` and decide or measure the
+following measurements, set in the valentina pattern as variables:
+
+``#elbow_width``
+  the circumference of the finished sleevelet at the elbow end, before
+  gathering: in the original instructions this was 33 cm;
+``#wrist_width``
+  the circumference of the finished sleevelet at the wrist end, before
+  gathering: in the original instructions this was 5 cm less than the
+  ``#elbow_width``;
+``#length``
+  length of the finished sleevelet, with the cuff excluded: in the
+  original instructions this was 30 cm;
+``#cuff_circ``
+  the width of the cuff: the circumference of your wrist plus 2 cm;
+``#cuff_height``
+  height of the cuff: 2 cm is a good measure.
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+Straighten the edge of the fabric by ripping or drawing a thread and cut
+two of the sleevelets and four of the cuff pieces; if the material
+doesn't have a direction you can invert one of the sleevelets to reduce
+waste.
+
+From the scraps, cut two rectangles of fabric 4 cm wide and as long as
+the slit plus 2 cm. Put them right sides facing on top of the slits and
+sew all around with a 2 mm allowance.  Carefully cut the slit, turn the
+facing to the back, press. Fold down the edges of the fabric 1 cm on all
+sides except the top, clip the corners, press and topstitch in place by
+machine or hemstitch by hand.
+
+Sew the side of the sleevelets with a french seam: fold a sleevelet with
+wrong sides facing, sew with a 8 mm allowance, press open, turn inside
+out with the right sides facing and sew again with a 10-11 mm allowance.
+Press towards the back. Repeat for the other sleevelet, taking care to
+press in the opposite direction.
+
+Fold up the wider part of each sleevelet by 2 cm twice and either
+topstitch by machine or hemstitch by hand.
+
+.. note::
+
+   If you prefer in this hem you may insert an elastic that is long
+   enough to go around the top of your forearm snugly.
+
+With right sides facing, sew two of the cuffs together at the top and
+sides with 1 cm allowance; clip the corners, turn inside out and press.
+
+Put the right side of a cuff on the right side of a sleevelet, with the
+rounded edge at the top / front and distributing the excess fabric in a handful of small (1
+cm) pleats, putting more on the top / front than on the bottom; sew and
+press towards the cuff.  Fold the other allowance of the cuff and
+topstitch by machine or hemstitch by hand, enclosing all allowances.
+
+Make buttonholes in the rounded end of the cuff and attach buttons to
+the other end.
+
+Wear with the buttons on the inner wrist, closest to the thumb, where
+they don't interfere with the use of the hands.
