Wow, I think this is the longest gap I've ever had in blogging. It's been a brutal winter. Thank goodness spring is here or at least here-ish.
This is a little project that I did for Christmas, when I was in between bouts of kiddie germ illness and wanting a fun and easy sewing project.
If you follow me on IG (cliophineas), you will know that Taco and I like to bake together. It's a messy hobby and I haven't been able to find an apron small enough for him that I thought was also cute available commercially. So, I sewed this apron for Taco as a Christmas gift to go with a tiny chef set.
I drafted the pattern using a tutorial on Craftsy (here), but made it shorter and narrower than the instructions called for. Also, I modeled the straps after grown up aprons that we own using D-rings rather than an elasticized strap as the tutorial instructs.
Also, I disregarded the sewing instructions so that I could make the apron reversible. The side that Taco seems to favor has animals, and the opposite side is orange with a zebra pocket.
These cotton fabrics have been in my stash for so long that I really can't tell you when or where I got them. I know that the faux-applique look animal print was purchased long before Taco was a consideration. So, I'm happy to finally sew something with it.
Overall, this was the perfect project right when I was wanting to sew during the plague-ridden, exhausted winter holidays but didn't feel up to fitting or complicated projects. And, I was so happy with how this came out that I immediately sewed a second one for Taco's cousin who is eight months younger.
Ok, enough me. Here is Taco, helping Phin make pizza on a Friday evening.
And here are a few from Saturday, when we dyed Easter eggs.
He seems to like his new apron and insists on wearing it whenever Phin or I put on aprons, ourselves.
