Information Sheet
Different hand stitches are used for various purposes: temporary stitches,
hemming, seams, finishing, and decorations.
1. Basting – it is temporary stitching used to mark or hold two or more pieces of fabrics together.
Basting should be removed from the garment as soon as the permanent stitching is completed
and it is no longer needed. There are two types of basting:
TLE 7 PAGE 1
a. Even basting – it is used to hold seams together
for fitting or permanent stitching.
a. Fasten the thread with a few backstitches and work small stitches by passing the needle in and
out of the fabric.
b. Keep the stitches and spaces as even as possible.
a. Begin with a couple of stitches worked on the spot, and then take a stitch and a space.
b. Take the needle back over the space and bring it out the same distance in front of the thread.
c. Continue to the end of the seam.
d. Fasten off with a couple of stitches on the spot.

TLE 7 PAGE 3
2. Fold the rectangle of coordinating fabric in half with right sides together. Stitch around three
sides of the pocket using a ½” seam allowance, leaving a 3” opening at the bottom. Clip the
corners. (Pattern for patch pocket may vary depending on the design).
3. Turn the pocket right side out and push out the corners of the pocket with an item like a
banana cue stick. (Don’t use something too sharp or you will poke a hole through the fabric.)
Press the pocket flat, folding in the raw edges of the opening. Topstitch along the fold, which
will be the top of your pocket.
4. Place the pocket on the center of the apron approximately 12” from the top. Stitch the sides
and bottom of the pocket to the apron. (Placement of the pocket may vary).
5. Using a double fold hem (folding fabric in ½”, pressing, then folding ½” again and pressing
for a 1” hem), pin and stitch the sides and bottom of the apron.
6. Using a double fold hem (folding fabric in 5/16”, pressing, then folding 5?16’ again and
pressing for a 5/8” hem), pin and stitch the curved side of the apron.

7. Fold down ¼” along top and press. Fold 1” again and press. Stitch facing down.
8. Stitch 28” piece of ribbon to top left of apron. Finish raw edge of ribbon by folding over twice
and stitching.
9. Stitch 24” long piece of ribbon at the top of the straight side. Repeat for the other side. Finish
raw edge of ribbon by folding over twice and stitching.
