By request, I'm not the best with photoshop for drawing but hopefully this covers it.

The pictures are from contemporary adverts and dress makers patterns, below is my interpretation.

The fabric I used was actually 150cm wide but I laid it out to see how well I could cut it from 36" wide fabric. The result is the layout above. There is enough fabric for a second pocket if you wanted but to save fabric I cut it in the back neck scoop.

Here's the pinny [link]
To enable cutting from such a small piece of fabric you first have to cut it into the piece you are going to use for the skirt and fold that in two so you can cut the front of the pinny on the centre fold. The selvedges of the remaining piece have to be folded to the centre of the fabric so you have two folds to cut the front and back body pieces from.

This is a small pinny, a larger one would need more fabric.
