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;

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. + +Gallery +------- + diff --git
