This is a complete professionally drafted apron sewing pattern and tutorial that I created using a CAD software program and Publisher for the tutorial. The pattern pieces are easy to download, print and tape together, and the apron is easy to sew.

SIZES: ❤
Women’s one-size fits most (US 4-14): Waist 26”
Women’s XL (US 16 and up): Waist 39”
Length 14-15" long

Girl’s (8-12): Waist 23"
Length 13" long

Toddler (4-6) Waist 20"
Length 12" long

STYLE: ❤
There are 3 layered skirts, a heart-shaped bib, a pocket, neck ties, and waist ties. The skirts are a full circle each so they are extra cute and flirty. This style is my signature Diner Waitress style that I have been making and selling here on Etsy since 2009.

ABOUT PRINTING: ❤
I have made it really simple to print the pattern pieces. All pieces will fit on a standard sheet of printer paper, in sections, so that you can print and tape them together. I have gone to the trouble to make it really simple for you. Because I care ♥

DIFFICULTY: ❤
About easy to medium difficulty; you should have some experience with the techniques below.
• Sewing bias tape around a curved edge
• Sewing bias tape to a heart-shaped edge, with a pivot point
• Stay-stitching around a curved edge, clipping curves
• Attaching a curved edge to a straight waistband

MATERIALS NEEDED: ❤
• Main fabric, for the top shorter skirt, and bib: 1 1/4 yards
• Accent fabric for the under skirt, and all ties: 2 yards
• Bias tape, double fold double wide: 3 packages
• Ric Rac: 1 package
• Purchased ruffles: 1 yard
• Thread

FAQ: ❤

Q: I see your pattern listed several times in your shop, with different “cover” photos, are they the same pattern with different pictures?

A: Yes, they are the same. The reason I do this is to show the many different styles you can make.

I have seen these cute little aprons all over etsy and have really wanted one for the longest time but couldn't afford paying $60+ for an apron. I drafted my own pattern from looking at pictures/watching YouTube videos and got pretty close but for the life of me couldn't figure out the straps and how to attach the bias binding. I'm so glad I came across this tutorial. It is simple and clear to follow. I almost purchased a different knock off pattern. Glad I didn't. This pattern completed my project. Now I can make this in any colors/design. Whooo!! Thank you Dottie!

Just completed an apron with this pattern. Absolutely ADORE it! Very easy to follow instructions and a fairly "simple" construction. Had zero issues sewing my apron. Thank you so much! :)

I've been waiting a loooong time to purchase this pattern and now that I did, I absolutely love it! Thank you so much! And I was surprised that there wasn't that much paper used to print it! Love that too :)
