Having a BBQ on the 4th of July is as American as apple pie. But who wants to get their cute summer clothes stained with BBQ sauce? Here’s how to make a BBQ apron. It’s perfect for either a guy or gal, depending on who is the BBQ master in your house.
Supplies:
- Canvas Apron
- Laura Kelly Fabric: America the Beautiful
- Laura Kelly Buttons
- Blue felt
- Basic sewing supplies
Directions:
1. Cut a piece of fabric into a 6 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ rectangle. This will be the body of your flag.
2. Place the fabric on your apron. Pin it and sew it down. I left my edges raw for more of a folk art look. Laura Kelly’s 4th of July Fabric already has stripes. You can slice up the stripes and sew them down individually or just sew down the entire rectangle and then go back and quilt along the stripes.
3. Cut a 3″ x 2 3/4 inch rectangle from the felt. Pin in place in the top left corner of your flag and stitch down.
4. Arrange white buttons in the felt rectangle to represent stars and sew them on.
5. Add red & white buttons by the top ties of the apron.
Wishing all my fellow Americans a Happy Fourth of July!
