How to make a childs apron with fat quarters
My kids love to help me in the kitchen. Since I love to cook and bake, I have a few aprons that I like to wear and I thought it would be way fun for them to each have an apron too! We have lots of material that isn’t big enough to make large items with, but it is fun to make small projects. Fat Quarters are a great way to make things and use up all the pieces of the fabric. I decided I wanted to learn How to make a childs apron with fat quarters.
I took the pieces I needed, measured my daughter and then cut them. Once I had the pieces cut, I pined them over so I could sew them and give them each a nice finished edge look.
Once I had all the pieces cut and the edges pinned over, I was ready to start sewing it together. The straps and the pockets were first, and then the actual apron. Once all the edges were sewn, I began sewing everything together.
Once I had attached the pocket onto the top half, I pinned the top and bottom together and sewed them together along with the straps. On my next one, I will put the straps down further on the corner that pokes out just under where they are attached now. I think it will hold it together better.
Once it was all done, I took some stretch pink material I had and folded it up and sewed it across the front seam. I used a decrotive stitch so that the pattern would look cute. I think it turned out pretty good!
My daughter was thrilled to be able to help with dinner and wear her new apron! It is simple and “homemade” looking but I think it turned out pretty good. I am just getting back into sewing and made up my own design. Overall it probably took about an hour.
What do you think?
This looks like such a fun and easy project thank you
That looks o easy! I will have to give it a try!
So cute.. Pinned to my crafts board.
I like that sewing is still something we are teaching our children. My mom taught me to sew when I was young and I would spend hours making things. Now I can at least do the basics like hemming pants or sewing on a button. Thanks mom!
so cute and easy.
This is too adorable… and once made, I think many little girls will be happy that they can help in the kitchen and feel “grown up” while helping out Mom (or Grandma).
Too cute.. and looks simple enough for my girls to make their own. Thanks for sharing.
I’d love to make little aprons for my 4 great nephews. Love memory making in the kitchen.
awww, wish I have a little girl too. what a cute apron!
This is so cute…I have seen these at craft shows but I think I could tackle this one myself!!
Adorable! A must save-do fornmy 8 year old assistant. 🙂
What a cute apron and it looks pretty easy! I’m going to pin this one 🙂
This is so cute. My son likes to cook, so I think I’d have to adapt this to make it look more boyish!
This seems like a nice project in terms of ease to make and usefulness. I think I would like to try it.
What an adorable apron! I pinned it to my board with future sewing projects! Thanks!
