Girl Toddler’s Apron
The Olah Momma! blog has a quick demonstration on how to make an apron for a little girl. Including pockets, ruffles, and a belt. She begins:
I got beautiful pieces of fabric remnant and was in the mood of making an apron for our toddler. It turned out to be beautiful. Grama said it’s lovely!
Lots of photos in this blog post.
Finished just in time
Pat of Bell Creek Quilts blogs about fulfilling a quilting club summer challenge by finding an antique apron and sewing a new one. Pat found an antique one at a local antique mall, and then she made a Four Corners Apron from Vanilla House Designs. This is what she writes about the apron:
Here is the apron I made using red and green chili print. I used black yo-yo’s as the embellishments as I didn’t have any black buttons in my stash. I figure that I can use this apron as a Christmas gift!
Check out the blog post to see photos and a full story of her summer challenge experience.
Facebook Group for Rae’s Aprons
There is a Facebook group called Friends of Rae’s Aprons that tells the story of Rachel Cohen and how she started her creative kitchen garment business.
Read how Rae Cohen used her experience as a child in the Montreal, Quebec sweatshops to help complement family income by designing, sewing and marketing her own unique brand of aprons for every occasion and every size. Learn how her family and customers remember her work.

This is a Spring Fling apron — it’s my first time making this pattern and I really like how it turned out.
