Dye plain calico fabric bright turquoise to create this fun apron, complete with appliqué snapping prehistoric plesiosaurs. This apron can easily be adapted to suit, and can be made smaller or larger to fit children of different ages. Why not experiment with different appliqué shapes, such as car motifs or pretty butterflies?
Make an apron
Draw a 47cm x 63.5cm rectangle onto pattern paper, so that a short edge is at the top. Measure 12cm in from both top corners and mark. Then measure down 18.5cm from the same top corners on both sides and mark again. Draw an inverted curve between these points to create a curved apron shape.
Cut calico slightly bigger than this shape to allow for shrinkage. Wash the material, then dye it by hand. Wash out the excess dye, dry and press. Trim away the frayed edges, then use the template provided to cut out the apron shape. Keep the two curved pieces of the apron
