Kids have arts & craft aprons but they are short and have long sleeves. I wanted to sew them a water resistant apron where they could use for cooking and other messy stuff.
Materials
- Tarpaulin fabric (oilcloth)
- Velcro
- Piping for the edges (bias tape)
- Fabric for straps
- Thread
Instructions
- Take your child’s measurements: from upper chest to knee; neck and belly for straps or ties
- Cut a pattern as shown above using the measurements. It’s easier to draw and cut when the paper is folded. First cut a rectangle. Then cut out the quarter circles, under the arms.
- Cut your fabric using the pattern.
- Sew the bias tape around it.
- Fold the strap fabrics on their right side. Sew them and pull inside out. Sew once again on the outer edge.
- Sew the velcro pieces on the strap ends. Sew the oppositve velcro piece on the apron.
- I made strap long enough to make a circle around them so that they can put on and fasten the velcro themselves.
Now they want chef hats. That means I’ll be working on chef hats soon.
