That's why an apron, like clothes, should be beautiful, stylish and fashionable detail. With the help of simple instructions, you can easily sew a beautiful apron with an original design.

Denim is very dense and durable, therefore, the apron will turn out to be solid from it. To sew a men's apron, it is not necessary to buy new denim, it can be sewn from old denim trousers, a skirt, a shirt or a sundress. For this you will need:

  • Textile.
  • Scissors.
  • Chalk.
  • Centimeter.

So, let's start sewing chef apron for men. To do this, you first need to remove the main dimensions, namely:

  • Breast volume.
  • Waist.
  • Hip width.
  • Length (shoulder line to knees).

Having taken all the necessary measurements, you can start cutting out the details. This accessory can be sewn as one-piece or combined, it all depends on the integrity of the material. If you plan to use old things - it doesn’t matter, such an apron will turn out no worse.

On the fabric, you should draw a future apron (ours will be a one-piece, simple model), a 10 by 10 cm square pocket, a 30 by 6 cm strap and a 30 by 6 cm belt (there should be two belt details). Details of the apron should be carefully cut and turned on a sewing machine. Then the finished parts need to be sewn together: the strap should be sewn to the bib, the belts - to the apron at waist level, and the pocket - at your discretion. To give neatness, the finished apron should be ironed at the seams. Your handmade jeans apron is ready to use.

Stylish fabric kitchen accessory

A kitchen apron is not only an item that protects clothes from pollution, but also a stylish accessory that you can also make yourself. Using the example of a detailed master class, we will consider 2 options for stylish kitchen aprons: from a men's shirt and red polka dot fabric.

gentleman's apron

A snow-white kitchen apron with a butterfly will add man in the kitchen even more masculinity and grace. However, it can be worn by both a man and a woman, although it looks somehow elegant in a special way on a woman.

To sew such an original accessory, you will need:

White men's shirt.

  • Black or red bow tie.
  • Sewing machine.
  • Scissors.
  • Colored chalk.

To sew a product of this style, you do not need special skills, the main thing is to act according to the scheme:

Bright fly agaric apron

Thanks to the bright red fabric with white polka dots, this accessory looks like a true fly agaric. You can find an apron pattern with a bib on the Internet, or you can make it yourself. To do this, draw on thick paper or cardboard the following details, which fit your size:

  • Apron (semicircle).
  • Bib.
  • Pocket.
  • Belt details 2 pcs.
  • Webbing part 1 pc.
  • Frill.

Finished parts should be cut out and then transferred to the fabric. The finished template on the fabric should be circled with chalk, and then carefully cut out. All parts must be connected to each other on a sewing machine in the following sequence:

  1. The bib should be sewn to the apron.
  2. The pocket needs to be sewn into the center of the apron.
  3. Belts should be sewn to the sides of the apron, and the strap to the bib.
  4. At the final stage, a frill should be sewn to the apron, this will give the product an additional charm.

Women's elegant kitchen accessory is ready to use.

Patchwork apron

If you decide to sew a much-needed kitchen accessory, but want it to be original, unlike others, then pay attention to this apron. He turns out cool by combining several types of matter using the patchwork technique. In order to sew such a cool apron, you will need multi-colored shreds of fabric. In this case, we will use velor in 2 colors: black and white.

The fabric should be cut into squares 5 by 5 cm in size, then, alternating colors, they should be sewn together (as a result, a checkerboard pattern is obtained). From the resulting chess canvas, you should cut out the apron of the shape you need and turn the edges.

From the remnants of matter, several chess pieces of white and black colors should be cut out; they will later be needed to decorate the apron.

From black velor, 2 belts measuring 8 by 30 cm should be sewn and sewn to the apron. At the final stage, sew the white chess pieces onto the black squares, and the black pieces onto the white squares. Thus, it turned out a kind of chessboard.

Now you know that sewing an apron with your own hands is easy and simple, and most importantly, exciting.

Good afternoon dear friends!

Let's take a look at everyone in the kitchen. I hope no one walks in the kitchen in a sloppy dressing gown. We have already talked to you about how we dress at home, when. So, in order not to stain beautiful home clothes, we put on an apron when cooking.

I think everyone knows how to sew an apron for the kitchen with their own hands. It's pretty simple. Do not know? Do you like to knit more? I also very rarely sew and only very simple things when there is inspiration and mood.

How to sew an apron for the kitchen from a shirt and jeans with your own hands

How to sew an apron for the kitchen from a shirt

So, we take an old unnecessary shirt, it doesn’t matter if it’s male or female. There are probably a lot of those where cuffs or collars are frayed, and shirts lie idle, take up space . Why do we need rubbish? Let's turn a shirt into an apron with our own hands. It's not a shame to give such a gift.

Cut off the sleeves, cut the shirt along the side and shoulder seams and back along the collar.

We try on, we outline the armhole line directly on ourselves with chalk. It can be made straight or rounded. Cut off excess fabric along the measured line.

Fold the apron blank in half lengthwise, cut off the excess fabric on the other side.

And everything is almost ready! And no patterns are needed, and nothing needs to be sewn.

It remains only to hem the edges or trim them with a beautiful inlay to match the fabric, sew on the ties.

A very original apron turned out.

The cutout of the apron in the photo above is interestingly designed. For this type of shirt buttons on top, you need to unbutton and sew belt loops to impromptu straps. You can sew such a romantic apron for the kitchen with your own hands.

If you don't like the collared shirt apron, or if the collar is too worn, you can simply cut off the top of the shirt.

How to sew an apron for the kitchen from jeans

Create! Good luck to everyone and good mood!

For work you will need:
A pair of unwanted jeans
Pieces of cotton fabric or linen 15cm x 2m
White tulle 8cm x 4m

It is best to take exactly your old jeans or approximately the same size, since using large ones will make the apron look clumsy, and small ones will be too decorative for beauty.


Mark the cut line with chalk or soap.

The back looks better since you don't have to fiddle with the front button and the outer pockets are more convenient, but if you like the front of the jeans, that will do.
Cut along the marked line and on the sides. If these jeans are just right for you or a little big (a couple of cm), then you can cut out this part, plus grab the belt, leaving a button for fastening. But dressing it will be more difficult.

We select the fabric that best matches in color and texture.

From it we cut a strip 8 cm wide and 120 cm long.

We bend the edges of the matter inward and pin it with pins,

We sew on all sides, you can start up more lines if the fabric is quite thin. This will be the belt for our apron.

The second cut from the same fabric will be needed for ruffles. It is 4 cm wide and 2 meters long.

We collect the fabric into folds and pin along the periphery of the denim base, and sew.

Then, you need to sew on the back side. The folds on both sides can match each other, but you can do it differently - out of order, so the ruffles will look more voluminous.

For more elegance, I decided to add a little tulle. To do this, cut off a strip of matter, 8 cm wide and 4 m long.

We collect on a thread

and sew parallel to the first ruffles.

It remains only to adjust the belt - and the apron is ready!

So that it does not get lost, you can also sew it to the base, and for the set, sew a pot holder and a mitten from the remaining fabric. Any hostess will be delighted with such a gift!
And if you sew jeans pockets into vertical sectors, you get a wonderful apron for an artist, seamstress or even a male master. Of course, the ruffles should be removed and as many pockets made as possible, then no guy will refuse such a useful apron.
