Came for the apron, stayed for the cat 😂. Seriously though, great tutorial. Gonna make one right away!

@sharonwilson8208 8 ай бұрын

I have made this pattern in toddler size and I use anything from a fat quarter to a pair of daddy's old jeans. It appears that the denim aprons won the contest hands down. When they're not worn for painting, cooking, gardening, they make great capes! Oh, the imagination of little ones. My friend has a preschool and I made 30 aprons for her (denim). I did not put a pocket on the toddler aprons as you never know what surprises you may find in the laundry 😂. I sold a couple last weekend, and the little girl loved it so much, she wore it and showed other vendors her apron. You know that age, they won't wear anything that looks like a bib. They want something that looks like Daddy and Mommy's apron. Haven't seen many grown ups turning them into capes😂❤

Love the idea of an adjustable strap and long enough to wrap around. For us "Senior " cooks that have had shoulder surgery, not having to tie a knot in the back is great. Think I'll take some dress shirts from a family member that has passed and make some Remembrance gifts. Thanks for the idea. And Yes, I love your furry assistant.😅😅

@marcysikes 2 ай бұрын

You can make an apron from a men’s dress shirt. I have made them and they are simple. Can be made with very-little sewing. I think they would make a great remembrance item. Leave in the collar and buttons.

I am teaching myself how to sew. Back in the day I didn't have any interest although my Mom and sister were great seamstress'. I am 68 years old and my children bought me a sewing machine. I have watched this video numerous times and I am very excited to make my first project!!

When you were listing the supplies needed for this project, you forgot to list a CAT. All cat moms know how helpful cats can be- they’re willing to lay right on your fabric, just in case a sudden wind howls through your sewing room.

I wish i had seen this earlier. I am making all of my grown children aprons and all tutorials are 26 and 28 inch aprons. I made my 6ft3 sons first, the 2 daughter in laws next and realized their aprons are the same length. So now i need to add length or go get more material and start over. And what a great idea for the straps, it takes the guess work out of how long a neck strap i need!

Love the easy instructions, I added a second row of pockets to the bottom of the apron. We can never have enough pockets for, keys, glasses, tissue and phone. I also made it reversible, so now there are two beautiful sides to choose from. Whatever mood that you are in! Thanks so much for this great project.

Fun video!! I also added a small pocket at to top of apron with s slot for Phone and Pencil. I plan on making one for a man for BBQ wear. I made pockets out of kitchen size towel with BBQ print on plaid fabric. Enough fabric was left to make Hot Mittens with black denim on Palm side .

I'd been searching for an adjustable size apron that didn't require me to purchase a pattern, or download and then print out a pattern, as I don't have access to a printer. This turned out great, and was super easy to do. Now, I need to make one for myself, too. These will make great holiday gifts!

@susanowen1709 8 ай бұрын

Me again! I finished making one of these today using a fun grey fabric printed with cows; it's a wonderfully quick project and I am very pleased with how it looks and fits. Someone with a little more practice than I could easily do one in an afternoon; heck, I probably could have, too, but after accidentally trimming the corners for the casings on the folded side instead of the cut edge, I decided it was time to take a break, LOL. The strap is a bit too long - I can wrap it all the way around my body & then tie it in the back - so next time I will cut three strips for that instead of four. It's surprising how easily the strap can be turned using a chopstick, even being as long as it is. And for the record, turns out that dogs are as helpful as cats, LOL. PS, I tagged you on Insta if you want to see the finished project.
