Center the top ribbon onto the front of the apron matching up the top edge of the ribbon with the top pencil line. There should be half an inch of ribbon over each side of the apron. Pin the ribbon in place by pinning the top and bottom edges. Fold under the 1/2-inch ribbon on each side so it is even with the edges of the apron. Pin in place. Repeat for all the ribbons.

Sew the ribbons in place. Stitch close to the top and bottom edges and turned under sides of the ribbons. Iron if needed.
