Step 1
Cut out the apron piece on the fold. Cut out 3 ties using the following measurements. {You may need to adjust them later before attaching them.}
Step 2
Fold the ties lengthwise with right sides together. On 2 of them, stitch down the one short side and then down the long side.
On the other, stitch down just the long side.
Using a safety pin or pen, turn your ties right side out. Press. Set aside.
Step 4
Press the curve sides of the apron 1/4" and then another 1/2". Hiding the raw edge.
Step 5
Now repeat Step 4 with all the straight sides. Stitch around the entire apron.
Step 6
Place the raw edge of one strap on the underarm corner of the apron and stitch it down.
You may want to stitch 2 rows to reinforce the ties. Repeat with opposite side.
Step 6
Take the remaining neck strap and pin it to the top edge of the apron.
Now is a good time to measure your strap to make sure it can fit over your child's head and that it isn't too 22px. Once you have measured, stitch your neck strap down.
And once you've got them helping in the kitchen, you'll be cooking a lot less and having a lot more fun together.
Make it a fun gift by adding a matching scrunchie for holding hair back while the cook.
