There have been a lot of really cute aprons out there lately. Sadly, my lack of cooking skills usually means I have little reason for an apron. Or that all of my clothes get dirty while I cook.
Anyhoo, my good friend, Maria, is an AMAZING cook. She can usually do so while using all organic ingredients including produce from her garden. Mmmmmm, Maria's cooking! Well, hopefully she won't check this blog, but for her birthday this August I have tried my hand at sewing an apron. One for her, one for her daughter- matching of course! How cute!
The napkins I used were only $3 at Pottery Barn and the ribbon was 1/2 off. For the adult apron I followed the instructions from here at CraftStylish. For the toddler one I used one napkin and just folded over where appropriate. I tried to match the shape to the "mommy" apron along with details. For a pattern, I traced the shape I wanted onto newspaper, and measured it against my son.
I'm sure he'll hate me for this someday, but he is a great little dress form!
Maybe he'll be a famous chef someday and we'll have a good laugh about this!
