Start by taking a bottle and indicating reference lines that emulate the waist, hip, and knee of a person. Add vertical lines for the Side Seams and Center Front line. Then create an Apron Sloper either by drafting a pattern or draping fabric.

If you don't have an appropriate bottle, instructions are included for making a bottle out of cardboard that you can then use with the Apron Sloper pattern included in the eBook.
