Waterproof Tablecloth Apron

Step 9Optional Pocket Advice

Optional Pocket Advice
I prefer a simple apron without pockets because I eventually put too much stuff in the pockets and it weighs down on my neck. However, there are at least two viable ways of putting functional and/or attractive pockets on this apron.

The first method that comes to mind is cutting a pocket shape out of the tablecloth or other materials and use some of your extra strap pieces to line the top. After cutting the pocket out of the fabric you would sew the strap piece over the top edge like you did with the top of the apron. Then you could simply sew it straight on to the middle of the large apron section in the front of the apron.

A second, more complicated option is to make something more similar to pants pockets that would fit into the folds of the larger section. To do this you could find some thinner material and use pockets from a pair of pants as an example of how to sew the pockets into the folded area of the apron.
