You need conventional sewing supplies, packaging paper for the pattern, bias tape (for my pattern, I needed about 4,5m / 14,7 feet, but it depends on the apron's size) and two kinds of fabric. I chose a kitchen pattern for the front and white fabric for the back, so that the apron wouldn't become too thin.
My apron is about 55cm / 21,65" wide (the lower part of the apron) and about 70cm / 27,56" long (only the apron itself without the bias tape).

Cut out the shape of your apron (mine is really simple, this makes sewing easier) and pin it onto your two layers of fabric. Cut out the shape of your apron. Next. put the two layers onto each other, right sides facing. Then, sew around the whole apron, leaving a seam allowance of about 1cm / 0,39" and leave an opening at the bottom of your apron which you can use to turn the fabric inside out as a next step. Afterwards, iron your apron's edges and close the opening with a small seam.
Next, pin the bias tape to the apron's edges and sew. My bias tape goes around the whole apron. I also used it for binding the apron in the back and in the neck. :)
