Apron Fun

I wanted to surprise my sister with aprons for her granddaughters for their annual Christmas cookie baking and decorating day.  I found this tutorial on line.  It has a template pattern and very good directions.  I added a pocket and a ruffle to it.  I liked this apron because there are no ties to tie.  The neck strap slips over their head and the belt fastens with Velcro.  This way a child can put on their own apron without adult help.  I think they will like that.

I had fun fusing a flower and a couple bugs on this pocket.

I love this cupcake fabric.  I'm wondering if I should have made both aprons out of the same fabric.  My girls liked their clothes and toys to be different and not identical.  I know sometimes it's better not to have hard feelings over both liking the same item.   I can always make a third one if I need to.  lol

I enjoyed sewing these easy aprons today.  Now it's time to start cleaning up my sewing mess and turning the rooms back into bedrooms.  Michelle and Jen will be home next Wednesday for Christmas.   I need to change bedding and vacuum up fabric scraps.  And put alot of stuff back where it belongs. 

It's been cold here, but we have missed all the snow storms and blizzards that they have gotten east of us.  I'm sure we will get our turn eventually, but it's nice not to have "feet" of snow to deal with yet.
