I have a little girl that's going to be 8 later this week and she loves baking cakes. I had just about enough scraps left from making her quilt to have a go at a very girlie apron for those fun and messy baking sessions.
I had to piece together the front as the scraps I had were small but hopefully it adds to the charm. I had enough spot fabric for the lining and neck straps/ties.
I made a small pocket with another small scrap and lined it with the spot fabric. Folded the top over to give the effect of binding.
Stitch pocket to front of apron.
Make some ties and a neck strap in the style of bias binding by ironing and then top sewing.
Sew the front and lining together (wrong sides facing) along all but the bottom edge. Remember to include the neck strap and ties in the seams - these will be on the inside of the apron as you sew so that when right sides are out they will be in the right place! Turn right sides out, fold, iron and hem the bottom edge and then top sew all round the edges on the right side for a nice finish.
Let's hope she likes it!
