This video sewing tutorial walks you through all the steps you need to sew a harvest apron.
A harvest apron is also known as a gathering apron, why? Because it will help you gather your harvest! These garden aprons are great for gathering beans, peas or even apples!
So let me help you sew one up so you can get back out to that garden.

I accidentally cut one of the 26×40 apron pieces on half and of course I don’t have enough fabric to cut another. Do you think I could use it as the inside and sew it together as long as I shorten the outer to account for the seam allowance on the inner one?
Hi Michele, YES!!!! Sewing is all about working around our mistakes lol 🙂 I love the idea of putting it in the middle. I would use a 1/2″ seam allowance for this and then press the seam open before continuing along. You could also trim along this seam with some pinking shears to stop any future fraying. It will still end up as a great apron in the end. Enjoy your hard work and Happy Sewing!
Wonderful tutorial. The instructions were clear with the pictures understandable. The use of the French seam finish gives the apron a professional finish. Ten thumbs up. This will be a recommended tutorial.
Thank you so much for saying that Linda! I am thrilled to hear it 🙂 Happy Sewing!
