I used the Kids' Four Corners Apron from Vanilla House Designs. I'm thrilled with how it came out! It is super-cute and it fits nearly perfectly (next time I might make the neckband a little longer to make it a little easier for him to put it on by himself). The trickiest part of the pattern for me was placement of the neckband. I'm not sure I did it quite right, because the stitches are showing on the front (I think they're supposed to be hidden by the triangle flap?). It wasn't in the pattern, but I decided to go ahead and topstitch the ties, the apron, and the pocket-- I just think it gives it a more finished look.
I'm actually thinking this apron might be a great option for birthday gifts next year (similar to how I did the crayon caddies this year). It is a great pattern!
But, I think you need to see it in action to truly appreciate it:
Cooking is fun! (And flour is tasty!)
Hmmm.... maybe...
Yeah... definitely better test it out...
Mmmm.... cupcake batter!
Great apron and your little guy looks sooo cute cooking! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great helper!! Looks like the batter was perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the idea of elastic instead of a tie.
ReplyDeleteVery cute :) I am envious, my little one still hates his apron :( BTW I love your countertops.
ReplyDeleteVery cute apron. Do you think he would share the leftover batter?
ReplyDeleteI love it! Looks like the boy loves it too. Any leftover cupcakes? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe apron is sure cute but he is ADORABLE!!!
