Boys Reversible Apron

Yes!!! Boys do like to cook/bake/grill, just ask my husband and son! Actually, did you know that a little help in the kitchen from your kids can teach them math, science, social skills, and so much more! Check this site out for more information: http://www.kids-cooking-activities.com/kids-learn-while-cooking.html

Otherwise take a look at the new apron I have designed specifically for boys in mind. AND it's reversible! Created to be durable for the excitable little chef; double layers of fabric and triple stitched in those "pull" areas! One side is blue gingham with complementing pocket. Other side is blue, brown, & white strips also with complementing pocket!

Made to fit any size from 3-7, I would even go as far to say that my 2 year old could wear this. Cost is $18. (Single sided would be $13)

Chocolate Cupcake Apron

I've been working on this little apron over the past few days and I'm really pleased with the turnout. Brown and pink dots, cherry covered cupcakes, and pink stripes makes this apron irresistibly adorable.. who wouldn't want to bake wearing this!

This one is fit for little girls sizes 4-7. Price $15. Matching mothers apron to come!

Princess Set

Someone found me and requested a whole princess set. I was so excited to work on this one because again it included items I hadn't tried before!
Here you can see I made a Princess Chef Hat, Princess Oven Mit (even my hand fits inside!), Princess Tea Towel, and of course the lovely Princess Apron (I did end up adding the ruffle, makes a nice extra touch!)
My daughter kept eyeing this set and was convinced it was for her! Poor dear.. I will have to be sure I make her something soon.... Oh I did already.. I will post that soon!

Blessings!

Girls Aprons x3

I received an email request for coordinating aprons for 3 girls, two are twins. I was very excited about the order, she didn't have a special theme she was asking for and just wanted to make sure it was pink and purple (the girls favorite colors). It took me a while to find fabric that I liked, that wasn't just princess themed. I finally found something and this is what I did to combine all the fabrics, but making each unique and their own. Oh gosh I hope that they like them!

Green and Purple Polka-Dot Apron

My friend Kristy asked for some aprons for her girls (she has 3, one of which is 6 months old). A would like to have a princess apron, perfect! M likes green! Not a typical color for a girl, but she has been close to this particular color since she was a wee one. I happen to really like it and was fortunate to have made a blanket for the newborn in green! Go Elaine! haha!

So I found this cute fabric at ... and decided it was perfect for M's apron. However, I have done something wrong with my apron design to where I realized after cutting it that I had once again made it too short and too wide!!! Duh, should have just turned it around.. but no, not me! Instead I have been coming up with new ways to make it different and lengthen the little mess. As you can see I added a ruffle with coordinating colors.

On top of that I decided to venture into figuring out how to make my fake Monograms! hahaha, (thanks Destri!) So I printed out their initials, cut it up (which took about an hour EACH!) and ironed it on. Looks nice, but I don't think I will do that part again! Way too much work for a pair of tired eyes. Regardless, I really like the turn out of M's apron and I hope she will too!

Princess Blanket and Apron redone

I had a request from a friend of mine. She asked me to make her a Princess blanket and Princess apron. I set out to find the perfect combination of the two and I believe she will NOT be disappointed!
Take a look at the Princess Blanket: It has all the famous princess' in their own little blocks. The backing is a soft purple fleece, perfect for those cold nights!
Matching Princess apron, which I remade from my original design.
It was the ruffle that made this task a challenge and triumph! I had tried to make a ruffle before but my thread broke as I tried pulling it through all 310 inches of fabric! This time I succeeded and it came out beautifully! So, as I was saying about the apron... I added the ruffle to it and voila, it's cute huh?!

Blanket measures 35x45 and apron fits 5/6T.
