Studio Apron Pattern (Download)
This is a simple smock style apron .pdf pattern that can be tarted up to be super swanky or kept plain to serve as a practical quick cover up to catch your paint splatters, powder sugar or stray threads while you create with wild abandon. It also has several pocket options to hold tools of your trade or your mobile device while your listen to podcasts. See my blog for more inspiration.
This pattern requires a little more than 1 yard of fabric and only 2 seams. It is a super simple design that is perfect for the beginner seamstress of the more adventurous one wanting to add lots of extra frills.
This pattern is a digital download and can be printed in tile format on a home printer or taken to a print shop for (to scale) printing.
Make sure the pattern is printed to scale and not to fit paper.
Helpful instructions:
Some printers can tile directly through the printer. Choose File, Print, pick your printer and then click Properties. Look for settings that will allow you to print tiled output directly from PowerPoint.
Adobe Acrobat:
Recent versions of Adobe Acrobat can do tiled printing.
Create a PDF from your PowerPoint file (Office button>Save As>Adobe PDF).
Open the PDF in Acrobat
Choose File > Print.
Under Page Scaling (near center left of Print box) choose Tile All Pages.
