fabric for kids apron sewing tutorial

(pattern pieces: two apron pieces, front and back, 2 pocket pieces, 1 neck band, 2 waist ties)

I don’t know how to use pattern programs so I made a quick diagram with measurements to make this apron in two sizes.

You can download the diagram. Feel free to add inches to the length if needed for the larger pattern. It just depends if you want it to hit above/below the knee. For a boy apron, just cut out as shown. For a girl apron with a scalloped bottom, cut out following the dashed lines on the diagram.

Time: 1 hour

Seams: 1/4″

Skill level: Beginner

PDF pattern diagram: click below to download

2T-4T

5Y-10Y

Supplies:

fabric for outer (I always just buy a yard)

fabric for lining

thread

measuring tape

iron/ironing board

sewing machine

kids apron sewing tutorial sewing on pocket
Pocket:

1. Sew your two pocket pieces together (right sides facing), leaving a few inches on the top to turn right side out.

2. Clip curves and turn right side out. Tuck ends in where you turned it right side out and pin. Top stitch the top of the pocket piece, catching the tucked ends into the seam.

3. Center the pocket onto the apron front and pin into place. Stitch pocket onto the apron by sewing around the sides and bottom.

Waist Ties:

4.Fold waist ties in half and sew the side seam. Use a safety pin to turn the strap right side out. Press.

5.Fold one of the ends inside about 1/2″ and pin.

6. Stitch the end closed. Top stitch all the way around the entire tie. Repeat for the other tie.

Neck Strap:

Make the same way as the waist ties, but leave ends open. Top stitch all the way around.

7. Pin neck strap to apron front about 1/2″ away from edges.

8. Pin the raw edge of each waist tie to apron front just below the arm opening.

9. Place apron lining on top of the front apron piece, right sides together, sandwiching the neck strap and waist ties in between. Pin all the way around, leaving a 4″ gap on the side of the apron for turning right side out.

10. Stitch apron all the way around using 1/4″ seam allowance, stopping at the 4″ opening. Clip curves, especially around the scallops if making a girl apron and trim corners. Turn right side out. Press.

11. Fold over opening and pin. Top stitch around the entire apron.

    I pinned this to my Apron Pinterest board. These aprons are super cute. I actually love your pattern and that is not professional. That makes us all feel like we can go “off-roading” and try something new.

    Love the adorable apron design and simplicity! It seems like the perfect project for the child to help with, too, and learn a little bit about sewing in the process. Always enjoy seeing kids being active in the kitchen, whether real or pretend.

    I love this apron tutorial! The fabric you chose is beyond adorable, perfect for the new little beret I bought my daughter!
    I was wondering if you have a measurement for the bottom of the apron, from the fold to the outer edge? All other measurements are clearly there.
    I’m most nervous about the scallops but it is the most adorable part!

      Hi Lorena!

      The measurements are approximate and you can kind of eye ball it. Here are the measurements I had: Small apron: 9.5″ (before sewing). Larger apron: 13″. Hope that helps!

    Aloha Brandy!
    An adorable pattern that can easily be made reversible. Two questions about the v shape at the top of the apron. About how far down from the top along the fold line does the v go? Is there a slight curve or are those straight lines on the sides of the v?
    Mahalo!

      Hi Shelley! I’m out of town so I can’t measure the V, but I’d say it goes down about 2”. I can verify next week. The sides are a slight curve, but you can make them straight if you’d like. Hope that helps!
