Waist apron sewing pattern

Gathered at the waist, with long ties. Drafted to your doll’s size and printed on woven cotton (it doesn’t stretch), so you cut it out and sew it with no paper pattern.

How to sew it

Printed along the bottom of your panel:

Fold the sides and bottom of the apron under on the dotted line and stitch.
Gather the top edge to fit between the two waistband notches. Spread the gathers evenly.
Press the waistband’s long edges in on the dotted lines. Fold it on the middle dotted line over the apron top, the gathered edge inside.
Tuck in the ties’ raw ends. Stitch the whole length close to the open edge, through every layer.
