I've been wanting to make a toddler sized apron for awhile. I found this tutorial online for an apron with an elasticized neck. I made a couple of slight changes. I didn't use binding at the top of the apron or on the pocket. I added a ruffle to the bottom and made my own bias tape for the strap.
I loved the idea of an elastic neck. That way the toddler can put it on herself and it will still (hopefully) cover most of her shirt. I made this one for Brighton's 2nd birthday, so Kim, you'll have to let me know how the neck works out.
I couldn't get Kaylin to model it for me, so I had to wait until I gave it to Brighton to get a picture of someone wearing it. I think it's a little long, but hopefully that just means it will last longer, and keep more clothes clean.I loved the idea of an elastic neck.

I think it turned out well and I'll probably make more. One thing I might change next time is to make the arm hole straight instead of curved, it would be a lot easier to sew the large binding on that way.
Happy birthday Brighton!

again... you are so darn talented!! the apron is adorable :)
length is great- allows for growing room. and i'd definitely do straight sides instead of curved- easier for the binding and it will lay flatter when it's on. thank you for making this for brighton!
I like. You did a good job on this. Any child would love to have an apron of their very own. Sweet print, too.
Super Cute!!! Was the pattern doable for me???? :)
So cute! I think the length is perfect it keeps them nice and clean!
