Place the indicated line on the pattern piece on to a straight grain fold of the fabric. 

Pin your pattern to a folded piece of fabric, and cut out. Cut only the neck hole on the fold

To finish the bottom hem edges. Insert the raw edge of the apron skirt into the fold of the double fold bias tape. Sew into place using a zig zag stitch on the bias tape. Trim off any excess bias tape at the edge of the apron skirt.

Cut off approximately 24” of the bias tape for the upper edge of the apron.

To create a finished end for the apron ties, open the bias tape at the cut ends and fold the edge in about an ⅛ -¼ of an inch, refold the bias tape, and pin to hold. You will sew this up when the bias tape is attached to the apron.

Insert the upper raw edge of the apron into the fold of the bias tape, leave 6” of bias tape on both sides of the apron for the ties. Attach the bias tape to the apron, usiing a zig zag stitch, starting on one of the ties and going up and around the apron, finishing on the other tie.

To sew the binding into the neck opening. Using fabric glue* or needles place the bias tape on the neck hole. Over lap the ends and fold the raw edge under to finish the seam, if you use glue, it will hold all this together while you sew, and it will not gum up your needle. Zig Zag stitch as you have previously with the other hems.
