Apron Mania!

So I tend to get a little excited about silly things. . . like kids aprons. I have made aprons for my kids and their friends for a while now. Recently I was exposed to Michael Miller fabric which I am totally in love with, and then I was at a craft show when I saw an apron cut out of oilcloth and a ribbon sewn on for the ties, and I LOVED it! So I have finally found a store that will order me some cute prints in the oilcloth, so we are doing it for our super Saturday(I didn't want to pay shipping). It is super simple, and I think with the new prints we ordered it will be adorable.

Do it Yourself

To do this yourself just cut an apron shape with pinking shears, and make sure they are sharp. You can't use granny's hand-me-downs for this project. Then sew a ribbon across the chest, and two shorter pieces on the top of the bib. I tried to match the thread to the ribbon so it wasn't visible. If you look online you can find Michael Miller laminated cotton, which I think is sweeeet!My favorite is the dick and jane j for jump. I found it for $10.75 a yard, and you can get 4 child size aprons in one yard. I think its a cute gift for nieces, or bday gifts. Add a little kitchen toy, and its a hit. I made two in 15 minutes.
