If your little one wants to help you in the kitchen this Christmas then this apron is a must-have. Not only will it protect clothes but the holly and berry colours give it a seasonal look. And the cute deer will appeal to children.
Make an apron
Take two 8cm x 75cm lengths of striped fabric and stitch them together to make one long piece. Fold a 2cm double hem along one long edge and stitch down. Double hem and stitch the two short edges in the same way. Run a line of long straight stitches along the raw edge and use these to gather up an even frill 75cm long.
Pin the gathered edge of the frill to one long side of a plain cotton rectangle, with wrong sides together, leaving 2.5cm of plain fabric at either end. Sew into place, trim the seam to 5mm and fold right sides together. Sew a parallel line 6mm from the edge to complete a French seam Double hem the short sides of the skirt rectangle to line up with the ends of the frill.
Run a line of long straight stitches along the top edge of the skirt panel and use these to gather the fabric evenly to a width of 35cm. Join two more 8cm x 75cm lengths of striped fabric into one long piece, with right sides together. F
