I have been looking for sewing projects that are not too time consuming or difficult, to make items for my shop. I found this sewing pattern listed free on the internet. It's wonderful! It was created by Meg McElwee of Montessori By Hand. I do not know yet how she feels about folks selling stuff they've made from her patterns, so please be sure to ask if you plan to do so. I have an email in to her, and I'm awaiting her reply. In the meantime, I created one apron just to try the pattern and see how it came out.
Being Montessori-based, it is designed to help children to be independent. It is easy to slip over the head, and the waist-strap goes around the child's back, and easily velcros to the front. Simple!
The apron is lined (you can use the same fabric or another) and the neck loop has elastic in is. I love how the elastic makes the neck loop frilly!
The apron is designed to fit 3-6-year-olds. My model is 7, and it obviously fits just fine. I also had a 3-year-old try it on, and it was fine. Versatile!
The apron went together very quickly. I was lucky enough to have all of the materials on hand, and I put this together in under 2 hours. I tend to get distracted while sewing, so it could done even more quickly than I did it. Easy breezy.
Oh, and it's easy-care. It's woven fabric, elastic, thread and velcro. All washable. =)
I am looking forward to checking out Meg's other patterns!
Another one. =)
