Make an Apron (Simple Version)

Today we made matching aprons for baby Isabella and her mummy, Miss Frugal.

I should explain that Isabella is the doll that Miss Frugal got for Christmas, she crawls, walks, cries and even has temper tantrums. Apparently she needs an apron for when they are cooking together in Miss Frugal’s bedroom!

Now I am not talented or in any way good at sewing and some of you may well cringe at the basicness of this but all I did was cut out a rectangle and make the bottom corners look a bit rounded. Then I cut out two long ties and pinned them the top corners of the rectangle.

We didn’t hem the apron as I couldn’t be bothered to hunt my sewing machine out from the garage but it’s the sort of fabric that you can get away with that (excuses, excuses I know) and it was only meant to be a quick fun thing to make.

To make it a more professional job you could hem the apron and ties and even put a pocket on the front. You could even make the pocket a contrasting colour.

No Domestic Goddess in training should be without a little apron.
