An oilcloth apron or two

A craft feature I wrote for the Australian Women’s Weekly was published last week so now I can share this with you: here’s two super-easy aprons made from pretty oilcloth, ribbons and extra-thick bias binding.

These are a cinch to whip up either on the machine or by hand, and make excellent gifts for a child’s birthday.

Half a metre of oilcloth should give you enough fabric for at least two finished aprons, with lots left over for pencil cases or notebook covers or simple bookmarks.

For the last idea, just cut 7cm x 15cm strips with pinking shears to give your bookmark cute zig-zagged edges.
