For this class, I’ll assume you have basic sewing skills. I’m using a sewing machine in the videos, but you can hand sew your apron instead; it’ll just take a bit longer to finish your project.

Here’s what you need for the basic project:
- Old jeans
- Thread and a bobbin
- Heavy duty needles (I’m using a purple needle in my sewing machine)
- Fabric scissors
- Iron and ironing board
- Long straightedge, yard stick, or similar
- Pencil, chalk, pen or similar to mark your denim

If you want to make a slightly fancier apron:
- Seam ripper for removing pockets
- Cotton webbing or ribbon for more attractive straps
- Iron on patches for fun decoration

If the jeans you’ve chosen to make your aprons have holes in the knees, you may want to patch those first.

The downloadable PDF has diagrams of the cuts, folds, and sewing.

Ready? Let’s make an apron!
