With work I have been using my sewing skills and getting to make fun things with the kids below is the pictures of the apron I made for my little lambchop and her wearing it! I loved making it and its super easy!! I had to share with everyone and if you don't have a sewing machine I'm sure mom or grandma does!
KIDS APRON & INSTRUCTIONS
- One or two pieces (two if you want to line the back of apron) of fabric at least 18" by 18". (for larger children use at least a yard of fabric)
- a little more than 4 feet of coordinating ribbon any width would work.
- EMAIL ME FOR PATTERN
Simple steps:
1. Print the two pages of the pattern, use the dotted line to tape them together, and cut along the solid black lines so that you have a pattern that looks like half of an apron. ( to make larger apron allow for room between top and bottom half of aprons)
2. Fold your front fabric the long way so that you have a rectangle
1. Print the two pages of the pattern, use the dotted line to tape them together, and cut along the solid black lines so that you have a pattern that looks like half of an apron. ( to make larger apron allow for room between top and bottom half of aprons)
2. Fold your front fabric the long way so that you have a rectangle
3. Place the long side of the pattern on the fold of the fabric and cut ½ -1 inch larger than the pattern all the way around.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the back fabric if necessary
5. Use an iron to turn down ½- 1 inch of the front fabric all the way around
***6. On the back fabric, turn down 1/4-1/2 inch on two adjoining sides (such as the bottom and left sides) IF DOING A BACK LINING
7. Place the front fabric, good side down, on your ironing board
***8. Line up the two ironed sides of the back fabric with the corresponding sides of the front fabric IF DOING A BACK LINING
9. Work your way around the back piece, ironing each side under. Use the front piece as a guide so that you end up making the two pieces equally sized
***10. Pin the two pieces together, seams facing in IF DOING A BACK LINING
11. Add approximately 16 inches of ribbon at each hip; pin in place
12. Use 19 inches of ribbon to make a U at the top; pin in place & sew (I added buttons to hide the stitching and make it decorative
13. Stitch around the perimeter of the apron, 1/4 inch from the edge
14. Use a candle to lightly melt the ends of the apron so it won't fray.
