When I saw Liz from Say Yes’s no sew kid’s apron from a dish towel I knew that it had to be a future project that I replicated for Liv and Taylor. Such a brilliant and easy idea.
I used her tutorial during our homemade granola party to create miniature aprons for each of the littles, except I upcycled a bunch of cloth napkins that I had on hand rather than purchase new dish towels.
The perfect accessory for a little cooking:
Full disclosure: I wrote this post mostly to direct you over to the step-by-step tutorial for directions. Say Yes deserves all of the credit for this one.
I found that the cloth napkin was just a bit different in shape and size but the end result was pretty spot on. The only area that requires a hem for either the towel or napkin is right at the shoulders and you have the option of sewing, glueing or using stitch witchery (+ ironing) to make this as complicated or as easy of a project as you’re up for. I used a glue gun for everything (but I also haven’t washed it yet).
Wouldn’t these little aprons (which took 2 minutes each) be a fun gift? Perfect for cooking, painting, gardening… they would be adorable as themed present kits, maybe: watercolor paints + apron, mini gardening gloves + apron, plastic measuring spoons + apron.
I so wish that the below photo was in focus because these nuggets are so adorable all together sporting my set of cloth napkins.
Happy start to your week :).
Those aprons are so cute! Simple and quick crafts like these are always a favorite of mine. And I also want to make one just to try out Julie’s suggestion with the superglue….
Very cute! Just an idea, try superglue next time. It washes really well and holds the material great too. My mom does it with her nursing uniforms that are washed a lot!
Thank you! I will definitely try that next time – didn’t know super glue was washable but that makes sense! I used to have a liquid bottle of stitch witchery, i think that that woukd work too.
Great Tutorial! Must try it ASAP!!!
