4. If there is a pocket on the first (central) wedge, you need to edge the top cut - the entrance to the pocket;
5. On the left and right, connect the central wedge with the second wedge using an edging;

6. Cut out the apron belt – width 5 cm, length from 1 m. 20cm. Belts 2 parts;

7. Sew the belt to the bottom of the apron. Turn out the ends of the belt, iron the edges and sew a finishing stitch along the entire belt, while at the same time inserting the breast of the apron at the top.
