Sneak Peak
After this incident baking brownies:
I decided that Logan needed an apron to help me cook! So, yesterday I decided to make one. Here's how it turned out:
(Just in case you're zooming in on the picture, I have a safety pin holding one of the sides of the neck strap down. It has to be adjustable to sit right on his chest and still go over his head and I didn't have any velcro. I didn't want to make it tie because I was trying to keep it "manly.")
He's been so cute wanting to wear it and standing still (kind of) as I measured him for it. I just wing it when I do things like this so I'm always running after him with the measuring tape. I did make a pattern for it first, though because I thought it would be a cute item to sell on etsy. I also made a little pocket pattern piece, but decided to do his initial on this one instead. I'm having so much fun coming up with lots of different ideas--especially for little girls and I'm also planning to do some matching mother/daughter aprons. =)

ooh i would love to have a mother/daughter apron for Olivia and I! Let me know if you ever do it!! logan's is soo cute!!
The apron is really cute! You could use D-rings to make the neck adjustable. That is what I used for a nursing cover I made and it had ribbons as the straps too...
Thanks Jenny and Carrie!!
Jenny-I'm hoping to be "up and running" on etsy by early Oct. But, I'd be happy to do aprons for you and Olivia before then!! Feel free to shoot me an email.
Carrie-good idea! I was thinking the velcro might be kid friendly, but that could be a bad thing too, LOL =)
