{Scrap Fabric Toddler Apron}


We live and work with a handfull of people, mostly families. These people are not only our neighbors, and co-workers; but they have become our family here. I would like to think we have become each other’s family. We live life with these people, the happy, the sad, and the celebratory.

We are fortunate to be bystanders and watch as families and children grow and change. Living where we live, I sometimes have to be resourceful. I don't always have time to grab birthday gifts and cards at a store. So here is an apron I made for one of our tiniest little friends. Unfortunately, there is no tutorial because I pieced it together as I went. I started by doing a little pinterest research hoping to find a tutorial that had very detailed step by step instructions. Of course, I couldn’t find what I was picturing in my head, so hear is my attempt:  

I picked out my fabric and drew a template on a piece of construction paper. I googled the average size of a two year old, but if you are making this for your little one you can size up the template to him or her.



This was my first attemp at making ruffles, here is a tutorial I found helpful!


 I used pre-made bias tape for the ties.


Here is our messy kitchen table! Hoping for a desk soon  so I can re-locate all of my crafting!

 Here it is!
