Sew: kid size aprons
Pink and white gingham aprons with pink trim, perfect for a cake decorating birthday party:
I made 12 aprons, one for each party guest.
The aprons make a great favor the girls can use again and again.
Thanks cousin for modeling!
She’s concentrating hard on making her cake box:
And here they are with their finished cakes:
Here’s how I made the aprons:
1. I used an Ikea duvet cover Barbro Ruta I found on clearance last summer:
Wash and dry your cotton fabric.
2. Use an existing apron as your pattern and cut out 12 aprons:
3. Make 48″ of 1 1/4″ bias cut binding for each apron:
4. Begin by sewing binding to apron top and around both sides and bottom then press:
5. Now flip apron over and press in raw edge 1/4″:
6. Fold pressed edge over to create binding and pin:
7. Stitch in ditch from the front side, keep checking the back side to be sure you catch the folded edge in your stitching:
8. Then repeat the process for the ties extending your binding 15″ at the top for the neck ties and 24″ on the bottom for the waist ties.
