I have made this pattern in toddler size and I use anything from a fat quarter to a pair of daddy's old jeans. It appears that the denim aprons won the contest hands down. When they're not worn for painting, cooking, gardening, they make great capes! Oh, the imagination of little ones. My friend has a preschool and I made 30 aprons for her (denim). I did not put a pocket on the toddler aprons as you never know what surprises you may find in the laundry 😂. I sold a couple last weekend, and the little girl loved it so much, she wore it and showed other vendors her apron. You know that age, they won't wear anything that looks like a bib. They want something that looks like Daddy and Mommy's apron. Haven't seen many grown ups turning them into capes😂❤
I am teaching myself how to sew. Back in the day I didn't have any interest although my Mom and sister were great seamstress'. I am 68 years old and my children bought me a sewing machine. I have watched this video numerous times and I am very excited to make my first project!!
Love the idea of an adjustable strap and long enough to wrap around. For us "Senior " cooks that have had shoulder surgery, not having to tie a knot in the back is great. Think I'll take some dress shirts from a family member that has passed and make some Remembrance gifts. Thanks for the idea. And Yes, I love your furry assistant.😅😅
You can make an apron from a men’s dress shirt. I have made them and they are simple. Can be made with very-little sewing. I think they would make a great remembrance item. Leave in the collar and buttons.
I wish i had seen this earlier. I am making all of my grown children aprons and all tutorials are 26 and 28 inch aprons. I made my 6ft3 sons first, the 2 daughter in laws next and realized their aprons are the same length. So now i need to add length or go get more material and start over. And what a great idea for the straps, it takes the guess work out of how long a neck strap i need!
Me too I feel like starting over
When you were listing the supplies needed for this project, you forgot to list a CAT. All cat moms know how helpful cats can be- they’re willing to lay right on your fabric, just in case a sudden wind howls through your sewing room.
LOL!
All of us " crafters" KNOW and COMPLETELY agree: The importance of a cat during brainstorming or sewing is required and non negotiatable. 😅😅😅😂❤❤
My old fella, Flash, loved sitting on the back of my chair while I was sewing. He’s gone now and I sure do miss him sitting with me while sewing.
I just finished two of these, one for me and one for a friend. They were so fun to make. Thank you for all your sewing videos. I love making all your projects!
Your tutorials are my favorite. The instructions are always clear and easy to follow. Love your fabric choices.
Your fluffy "supervisor" made me smile.
Thanks for sharing!❤
Love this. I especially like how you incorporated the straps.
Really like the apron & am also enjoying your bloopers you’ve been sharing at the end. We all need to have a chuckle & a smile these days. Thanks!
Love this tutorial - you made this so simple to follow. Made a few so far for Christmas gifts - will probably make a few more!! Thank you!
Awesome! The out-takes are hilarious! Thanks for all you do -
Thank you so much for posting this. Your directions were clear, concise, and most importantly easy to follow. I also attached a ruffle to the bottom and it turned out super cute! Again, thank you so much!
I’m going to make this. You did an amazing job. Love your model and of course Jax.
Yay Erica!!! I’ve been needing an apron and this is perfect. Love the tips on how you cut the fabric. I always have a hard time with cutting big pieces. Fabric is perfect. You find the cutest fabrics. Will be making me one of these and then may make a couple for gifts. Love all your tutorials. So easy to follow. Love how you measure!
Hugs! 💕🐾🐱🐾🤓🌻🦋🐝
What a great tutorial! Thank you Erica. Now I know what I will be making for my daughter and granddaughters for Christmas. Need to look at my stash for fabric I think they might like. See you next time.
I just made one- thank you!! 😊 I’m a newbie so I’m working on my seam allowances and measurements being equal all around...this was so fun for me to make 😊 the tutorial was easy to follow and I’ll definitely be making more 😊
Awesome tutorial! I have so many cotton fabrics around that I think I’m going to make some aprons. Looks very easy to make! Thanks!
I made a very similar apron a few months ago following someone else's tutorial but yours is SO MUCH EASIER! Thank you for the clear and concise instructions.
Great tutorial! I love the way you did the straps. Much better than turning them inside out. Very well explained. Thank you. These are fun to make.
This was the first apron I ever made. It came out great. Can’t wait to get started on my next one. Thank you
This is an absolutely brilliant tutorial, made one following you through. Thank you so much, stay blessed!
Love the easy instructions, I added a second row of pockets to the bottom of the apron. We can never have enough pockets for, keys, glasses, tissue and phone. I also made it reversible, so now there are two beautiful sides to choose from. Whatever mood that you are in! Thanks so much for this great project.
I can not thank you enough for this lovely lesson. I never knew how to sew. I made two aprons for me and my son. This is lovely . Thank you
I love how simple you make the follow along. I used your episode to make an apron for my sister's birthday present. It was fun and got me really into sewing. I really look forward to making other items.
I made this today. Great tutorial and I really enjoyed making it!
I made this apron for a friend and received so many compliments on the design design. Thank you so much for sharing this very helpful video
Came for the apron, stayed for the cat 😂. Seriously though, great tutorial. Gonna make one right away!
Another beginner sewer here. You make it look "sew" easy. Clear directions. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial Erika ! Just made an apron for my dads birthday and used pieces of jeans as patchwork to create the fabric, it’s amazing 😻
Thanks for your easy to follow tutorial. I'd been searching for an adjustable size apron that didn't require me to purchase a pattern, or download and then print out a pattern, as I don't have access to a printer. This turned out great, and was super easy to do. Now, I need to make one for myself, too. These will make great holiday gifts!
I just made this apron in Christmas fabric. So cute!! Thank you for sharing. :)
Such a great tutorial and easy to follow directions for a super cute apron. I just made several for xmas presents!
I finally made this today. It was a long process for me because I went slowly through each step the instructions were perfect. Thank you for this tutorial!
Thanks for sharing; what a wonderful idea to make it adjustable like that! Planning to make my next apron this way!
Omg that is what I do. MAKE APRONS, I love your adjustable straps. I can't believe I never thought of that that's amazing. Thank you
So glad I just found your you tube channel! You're presentations are so inspiring and helpful! Lots of great information Thanks for sharing!
Erica thank you for making this so easy I can even make me an apron. Thank you so much Erica can’t wait till I get some fabric!!!!
This is my first sewing project! I made it and it was pretty easy! I'm normally a crocheter but I am surprised at how much ironing is included with sewing, thank you for the easy to follow tutorial and I am sure I will be making a ton of these for my craft class to practice!
My all time favorite apron pattern. Great gift. Easy and quick to put together. Thank you for posting.
Glad you like it!
Thank you so much for showing how to make this. I have been wanting to make one for myself. I may make some for Christmas gifts this year.
I made one for my son who does woodworking and knife making. He loves it! Thanks for the easy tutorial. You're the best!
You forgot in your supplies, one fluffy cat. 😉 Thanks for the tutorial! I love that you keep it real by adding your bloopers!
Very important inclusion!❤😊
Absolutely agree 😂. The cat is a must !! 😅
I love your videos and you make a awesome teacher. You make it easy and I love your helper.😂
Hi Erica. This is such a well explained tutorial. Thank you so much 🤗
Thanks alot! I made mine today & it was awesome,I enjoyed making an apron for my kitchen.
Needed sewing supplies must include a fluffy cat! ❤️
I literally was thinking the same thing. I don't know what it is but as soon as I lay my mat out for cutting my cat decides he MUST lay right there in my way. Glad to know I'm not the only person suffering from this problem
Oh good. I have several.
Exactly! Lol
Thank you Erica. Very nice tutorial and you explain it so well...
I made one today and it turned out great! Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial!
I just made an apron as a gift for my bf for Valentine’s Day last night using your tutorial and it came out great! It was so fun and simple and this was my first ever sewing project, so it was a great confidence builder!! Can’t wait to make more projects:)

I love this tutorial! I have an apron with this style adjustable strap and love it. If I have directional fabric, I'd have it running up and down instead of side to side.
