Free Child's apron pattern and tutorial

My boys love to help me in the kitchen. They often borrowed my aprons that were two sizes (or more) to big. Back a few years ago, I decided to surprise them with their own kid size aprons.

With the holidays, many people spend more time in the kitchen cooking and baking all the holiday goodies, so I thought this would be a good time to share my child's apron pattern and tutorial and let your kids have some fun in the kitchen!

This apron pattern is simple and it even has an option for to have a adjustable neck strap. All the details on how to make these aprons are below. 

My boys two years ago in their aprons. 

These two aprons are my favorite that I recently helped my 

sister make them for her two kids.

 

Aren't they adorable?

Are you ready to make your own? You will need to make a few decisions on the design of the apron before you can begin. 

First decision is deciding if you want to add a pattern or design to the front of your apron.

In this tutorial has the option of having a adjustable neck strap or continuous neck strap. So this will be your second decision.

If you look closely at the aprons pictured above, an adjustable neck strap was made. The neck strap was attached using either buttons and snaps. You will need additional fabric and materials for these options. See the tutorial for more information and the what you need to make this apron!

Princess Aprons

I have some cute nieces who love princesses and I wanted to make them something for their birthday. I found a tutorial from Fireflies and Jellybeans and used that as my inspiration to make my own princess aprons. I love this girlie stuff and hope I have a girl one day.

The first Rapunzel apron I made. The design on the top of the 

apron is a little different from the tutorial.

This is the second Rapunzel apron I made for another niece. Instead of a square top, I wanted to try something different. My son had a little Home Depot apron so I traced that and used it as my pattern.

 

I had one more niece to go and since I gave her sister a Rapunzel apron already, I decided to make a Merida apron from Brave.

 

Again I used the little home depot apron as my pattern and then kind of made up the rest of the design. I had a really hard time finding the right color for the apron which I was really disappointed in so I just went with this color. It is not perfect but hopefully this will give you an idea on how to design your own.
