A kitchen apron is a traditional kitchen outfit. It is he who protects against various dirt and greasy stains. If in the past he performed only a protective function for clothes, now an apron can be an adornment of the hostess. After all, creative delights and a variety of decorative elements are so wide that they allow you to create an exclusive thing. In this article, we will look at patterns.
Types of aprons
There are two main types - with and without a bib (apron). The apron is a rectangular cut with a sewn belt. The apron consists of two main parts - the hem and the bib. They were originally sewn as a single whole. Straps and a belt, pockets are sewn to it. If desired, you can decorate with appliqué, ribbons, braid, lace, buttons and other sewing accessories.
The apron in the kitchen gets dirty and needs to be washed frequently. Not all housewives are ready to wash their chic attribute to an unsightly look. In this case, you can have one simpler - for work, and the other, spectacular - for meeting guests or for a modest bachelorette party in the kitchen.
And aprons for the whole family will help create a family tradition of joint creativity in the kitchen.
Choice of fabric
When choosing the color of the future product, several tips are taken into account:
- On a motley, multi-colored fabric, spots are less noticeable.
- On a monochromatic, especially light one, the spots are more visible. Dark is more practical in this regard. Any plain color can be advantageously decorated with another bright fabric, braid, applique, sewing elements.
- An interesting solution would be a product made in the same color scheme as the design or textiles of the kitchen.
- The color and style are chosen according to their own preferences.
- The dyeing of the fabric must be resistant and must not be washed out during washing, nor dyed the clothes.
The main thing when choosing will be the preferences of the hostess.
