Sewing the apron

A patch pocket is sewn on top of the apron. A single pocket goes on the centre line; two pockets go on the marked places. The rounded part of the pocket is finished like the apron hem; the top edge is folded 0.5 cm then 2 cm, basted and machined. The straight sides are folded 1 cm to the wrong side and basted. The finished pocket is pinned on the marked place and basted to the apron on three sides. It is machine-stitched beside the basting, the seam is secured at start and end, then the basting is removed and the pockets pressed. The top edge of the pocket is not sewn on, because the hand goes in there.
