We all know that kids love baking, so why not treat the miniature masterchefs in your life to a funky apron and hat set? Not only is this a great project for beginners and afternoon stitching, but it can be easily customised for little boys (and grown-ups too) using their favourite colours and prints!
Make an Apron
Place a 30cm x 60cm rectangle of plain cotton onto a piece of cream cupcake printed fabric of the same size with wrong sides facing. Align the edges, then pin the shapes together.
Create a curve at each bottom corner by drawing around a small plate and cutting along the curved lines. Separate the two layers to give you a front panel and the lining for the apron.
Cut two 5cm x 110cm strips from pink sprinkles fabric. Stitch them together end to end to create one long piece, then press a 7mm hem along one long edge and sew into place.
Machine sew along the unhemmed edge in a long straight line, leaving a 5mm seam allowance.
Pull the bottom thread to gather up the strip evenly, then fasten off when the gathered strip is approximately 120cm long.
Pin the gathered strip to the sides and bottom edge of the printed apron panel, with right sides facing, and aligning the raw edges, then sew together with a 5mm seam allowance.
Press the seam towards the centre of the apron so the gathers lay flat, then pin the plain fabric to the back of the apron.
