this is a super easy sewing project that is too die for. they are absolutely darling, and a must have for every new mom. my 10 year old niece can make these, so it is a great place to start no matter what your sewing skills. this is MY secret worth sharing!
what you need: 1/2 yard printed fabric 1/2 yard chenille fabric your sewing machine & thread
directions: 1. cut your 1/2 yard piece in half, and then cut in half again. you will have the perfect dimensions for a burp cloth. 2. place the two fabrics back to back, and pin edges. 3. sew around entire surface, except for last 3-4 inches. turn inside out, revealing the fabrics. 4. sew remaining 3-4 inches, and then add a trim 2 inches in, if desired.
i got the inspiration for these aprons at a local boutique, and thought it would be a great inexpensive gift to give the women in my family for christmas. i am also considering doing mini aprons for their daughters also. what could be more darling than a little girl and her mother baking in the kitchen with matching aprons? especially when they are this cute. so if you are looking for a good gift idea for christmas or birthdays, this is a cute idea that any girl would covet! of course this was a secret worth sharing.
what you need: 1/4 yard each, two decorative fabrics of your choice (toile and checkered used here) 1/4 yard of solid white or black fabric to line back 1 package jumbo rick rack (2.5 yards) total cost= less than $3/apron
directions: unfortunately i don't use patterns, i just draw them out myself and go at it. but you can probably google half apron patterns if you are nervous.
