Cute Cupcake Apron

Once upon a time, long ago, I made a super awesome rocket apron for my little guy and since Reagan was only a tiny peanut at the time, I didn’t make one for her. Luke loved baking at the time {he still does} and now Reagan has caught the baking bug too. It’s about time girlfriend gets a apron of her own and seeing as how Reagan eats everything in sight and loves cupcakes, a cute cupcake apron was exactly the ticket!

Materials:

Canvas Corp Kids’ Apron * Cupcake Fabric

Canvas Corp Red & Pink Fabric Flowers * Dingle Ball Trim

Red Thread * Sewing Tools

1. Lay the apron down on the fabric and cut carefully around the edges. Because the apron already has binding around the edges, you’re building in your seam allowanceas you cut.

2. Pin the fabric on the front of the apron inside the binding.

3. When you get to the curved edges, cut small slits in your seam allowance to allow your fabric to fold as you need.

4. I had a fight with the Dingle Ball trim. The picture here shows how I pinned it underneath the fabric. I’ll explain later how it actually turned out…

5. Stitch the fabric to the apron. Use a single straight stitch.

6. Make sure to keep the stitch as close to the binding as possible.

7. Oh, these dingle balls. We were in a fight to the death at one point. I ended up stitching it on top of the fabric veerrrryyy carefully using my sewing machine with no foot attached.

8. The flowers are fabulous and SO easy to use. Stitch an X in the middle of the flower and then stitch the bottom layer of the flower to the apron to secure it.
