Vintage Tie Apron Tut – From Smashed Peas and Carrots blog

I found a Vintage Tie Apron tutorial you can make for your little girl or for your granddaughter. Maggie at the Smashed Peas and Carrots blog added buttons at the shoulders so this cute little apron could be reversible. Visit her site. She has a link to the .pdf  pattern. Find fabric for this child’s apron at your local independent quilt and fabric retailer.

{tutorial} Teeny Tiny Circle Apron

Sharon Sews posted, just in time for last minute Christmas gift-giving a delightfully tiny  circle apron for a Barbie™ or similar-sized doll.

The apron is so small, you can use scraps of your favorite fabrics and bits of leftover trim. Or make a child-sized apron for your favorite little girl and a matching one for her doll.

Check our her blog for other tutorials and tons of advice on sewing tiny clothes for dolls.

{free pattern} Run, Gingerbread Men, Run

What’s better for the Christmas holiday baking than a gingerbread man? Designed by Cathy Gaubert, this adorable apron is featured (on the cover, even!) in John Q. Adam’s book, Pretty in Patchwork:Holiday (Lark Crafts). If you want to give it a try before you buy the book, you can download the pattern for the gingerbread men embroidered apron as a pdf file. You’ll need to get this template, too, for the men and the writing. The half-apron style is made extra stylish with its nifty asymmetrical pocket, appliqued gingerbread men and embroidered writing.

Pretty in Patchwork: Holiday is available through Zinio as a download only (the book will be released next August). Adams includes more than 30 beginner to intermediate projects to celebrate the season. There are pillows, bunting, tree skirts, ornaments and includes several quilts (from full-size to lap-size to a baby quilt). It also includes a cute little gingerbread man apron.

{free pattern} Reversible Scalloped Apron

There’s something about scallops that makes this apron just a touch more feminine and fun. I love that it has a big pocket and it’s reversible. So much goodness in one little package. The tutorial, with downloadable pattern pieces, is available at Warehouse Fabrics.

This would be a great fall apron made out of this fabric from Riley Blake. It’s one of my current favorites!
