Aprons can be short, around the lap and waist, or tall, covering the majority of the front of your body. This tutorial uses an apron pattern that covers most of the torso, but you can use a similar process with your own pattern. You will need to have 1/2 yard (46 cm) of 2 types of fabric to finish your apron. You can also use fabric scraps for the strips and larger pieces of fabric for the body. You should use different fabric from the front apron square. Try to use coordinating, but different fabrics for all of your strips because they will be sewn onto the front square of your apron.  You need 4 strips that are 3 inches wide and 18 inches (8 by 47 cm) long.
