Living with Punks: Free Pattern: Mini-Me Apron Set

Free Pattern: Mini-Me Apron Set

We got the little Punk~ette a kitchen set for her 2nd Birthday last week, so I knew I HAD to make an apron for her....and, well, as usual, I got carried away and made some pot holders and oven mitts too!

I decided to go ahead and make up some patterns and detailed instructions to see how I can do at pattern making....who knows, maybe I'll try this again :) Pattern making and instructions are much different and more in depth than just a tutorial. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think...Here we go....

First, lets' take a look at Punkette modeling her new stuff.....

Don't let the cuteness fool you. I had to threaten her to stay still and look at me...and as you can see, it didn't work.

For the record, I don't remember my twins being this busy!

Here's what you'll get with the FREE Pattern

A super cute kid-sized apron pattern (will fit size 2-6), with full instructions on how to make this pocket too. The pocket could be used on any type of clothing, I'm thinkin' little tops...even back pockets on shorts!

How adorable are these? I had fun making these, and they

literally took less than 30 minutes a piece!

Click the button below to download the Pattern and Instructions

Have FuN...and don't forget to add to the Flickr Pool when you

finish so we can all see what you've made

Is this really easy?? How long does the apron take to make?

Andrea @ Sew Divertimento said...: I just LOVE this apron!!! Sadly, I'm having some issues downloading it from ge.tt. I made a new account and when I click your button it looks like its going to give me the .pdf, but then it defaults to a page telling me to upload files. Am I missing something? Thank you so much!

Tastie Cereale said...: I know this is an old post but I would love to make this apron. However, I can't figure out how to download the pattern. When I hit the button it downloads only the instructions, no pattern. :( Help, please?; 11/2/12, 12:44 AM
Laura said...: Super cute. Just did it, using your instructions, but a little Lowe's apron for the pattern. I couldn't find elastic thread. Also, next time around I will use interfacing. Couldn't be easier though, thanks!; 11/25/12, 10:40 PM
Carrie said...: What a GREAT pattern and such fun fabrics that you used! I can't wait to try it.
I featured your pattern on my blog at http://whittskitsfabricscrafts.blogspot.com/2013/03/find-it-for-free-on-friday-apron.html this morning. Hope that's okay!
Thanks - Carrie; 3/29/13, 5:06 AM
