I made Gianna her first apron when she was just a little over a year old, and she has complained of it not fitting for a while now. I finally got around to making her a new one based off the “Best Worn Barefoot” smock apron.
I have decided to take a baby-related hiatus from posting a new pattern/tutorial this month, but I thought I would share with you these apron modifications. Gianna is 3 and half years old, has a 21″ chest, and wears size 4T. I think this should fit a girl ranging in size from 2T – 5T.
Use this cut list below instead of the one given in the tutorial. You will need less than a yard each of the skirt fabric and the accent fabric and the optional buttons for the straps.
- Bodice/Bodice Lining (bodice fabric) – 2 pieces: 4″ x 19″
- Ties (bodice fabric) – 4 pieces: 4″ x 27″
- Pockets (bodice fabric) – 2 pieces: 5″ x 10″
- Skirt (skirt fabric) – 1 piece: 18″ x 32″
- Straps (skirt fabric) – 2 pieces: 3″ x 11″
Then, follow the directions as given except for the following.
- Skirt hem – It has a 2″ hem instead of a 5″ hem. (steps 12 & 13)
- Pocket placement – Position pockets 4 inches above bottom hem and 6 inches from the side. (step 20)
- Strap placement – The straps are offset 2 inches from the center of the bodice. (step 32)
I hope you are enjoying good food and lovely weather!

EEeeeee I LOVE this apron. I need to make some munchkin aprons and I think this is the one!!! So excited to try it. You are awesome.
That is so cute! I would love to try that someday.
I hope you do. And I would love to see a picture.
That is so adorable! I’m thinking about taking up sewing again myself, and your site is wonderful inspiration. I’m a new subscriber
Awesome! Welcome. I am enjoying your blog as well.
Super cute. I admire the fact that you make patterns. It’s on my list of things to learn how to do. I am great at following a pattern and once I create the project I deconstruct the pattern and make it my own. Cute apron!
Thanks Nikki! The best way to learn is by trying.
which is why I am making patterns. 
Love it and your daughter is adorable! I can’t wait until after the holidays to start making stuff for my little girl.
I don’t know if you are aware but the link at the bottom doesn’t work.
thanks so much for letting me know! It should be fixed now!
