Martha Stewart Living strikes again! This simple garden apron is perfect for stashing flowers, veggies, garden shears, or whatever else you need to tote out with you to the garden.
To make, fold up the bottom of the apron to make a 10-inch-deep pocket. Cut four 4-inch lengths of ribbon or twill tape. Fold them in half, and stitch the loose ends to the edge of the apron as shown, making loops. Sew on 4 large buttons in corresponding spots.
As a bonus, use an apron that already has small pockets in the middle to use for things like keys, a camera, or a cell phone. If your apron doesn’t have them, you can easily sew them on before completing the rest of the apron.
What’s great about this design is your apron can still function as a regular apron by unbuttoning the pocket. Also, it makes washing much easier! No more gritty pocket corners!
