Silk recommendations: we do not recommend washing the dupioni silk before making your project. It takes some of the shine out the fabric. Also, our fabrics requirements are based on 42-44″ wide. Washing dupioni silk shrinks it considerably. For care instructions, we recommend spraying finished items with Scotch Guard. These place mats should be considered for fine dining and not everyday use. You may have them dry-cleaned if necessary.

In some of the early editions of this pattern, you may find the text ‘cut off’ in #3 on page 3 of 4. The rest of the sentence should say “in……..diagrams A and B on page 2.”

There are two different styles in this pattern:
Version A: Bodice and pocket insides match (shown in the image as the middle and lower left aprons)
Version B: Waistband and pocket insides match (shown in the image as the upper right and upper left aprons)

Pattern tip: A small adjustment but worth mentioning. In some early printings of the pattern, diagram B on page 2 instructs to cut six ties at 1 3/4″ wide by 11″ long. Cutting the ties at 2″ wide looks a little better — 1 3/4″ is a bit too skinny!

Also see P132 for the adult size version of this pattern.

Half apron measurs 22″ x 16″; placemat measures 15″ x 20″; three-pocket hanger for kitchen measures 7″ x 30″; kitchen oven mitt uses ‘Insulbrite’ thermal fleece; pattern comes with permission to copy cookie mix bag topper – recipe for individual cookie batch is on the back.

The double-handed oven mitt works great for lifting casseroles out of the oven. The round oven mitt is quick and handy. This pattern is great for customizing your oven mitts to your kitchen decor. Or select fabrics for the oven mitts that are personalized for a special person.

The three styles are titled ‘Roses and Old Lace’, ‘Pretty in Pink’, and ‘Garden Flowers’. Designers favorite is ‘Garden Flowers’ which is actually very to make and looks very flattering!!

This is one of the best constructed aprons around – the quality really shows. The apron measures 23″ x 32″. Use as few as two fabrics or use four fabrics. The apron has two pockets; the flaps are embellishments.

Update to some early printings of this pattern: update-pg-3-of-5-133.pdf

Adjustments in size are made by the length of the neck strap on the apron — 23″ to 26″ for small, medium, or large. Slightly more fabric is required for the apron if using vertical print fabrics (like stripes) or one-way vertical print fabrics (like chickens). This pattern is selling great for those intending to give an apron as a gift — customizing it for the receiver’s personality by using themed fabrics.

Customer Comments:

Why is the size of the front panel different from the back panel – by 1/4″? Claire, MA. This is on purpose — our thinking that staggered seam allowances lay flatter or reduce bulk on the inside (a technique used in couture sewing). Originally, the back panel was smaller that the front panel but currently, the back panel is 1/4″ larger that the front panel. This also helps to provide ‘wiggle room’ for matching the two large square panels together. Use the front panel edges to measure your 1/4″ seam allowance at the sewing machine!

A great tip! Use the front panel (with trims attached), with RST, to cut the back panel. Brilliant! You don’t have to measure anything and they fit perfectly every time!

Here’s another great tip: when cutting out your pieces, I always seem to screw up! I have found that if I cut the larger pieces first, I can fit the smaller pieces in here and there. Otherwise, I buy 1 1/6 yd instead of 1 yd.

I leave the openings for the ties on both sides (about a 2″ to 3″ opening each) around 3″ above both side corners. The opening up higher doesn’t make any sense! Cindy, AR

Update to some early printings of this pattern: yardage for the ‘yellow trim block fabric’ should be 1 2/3 yds instead of 1/2 yds.
