Hey girls
Anybody have a good childs full apron pattern?
I need to make about 4 for the grand-girls ages 2,3,4,5.
If there is a link to a free one online that would be great!

Autumn,
I'll send you one on Tuesday. McCalls has their patterns at 99cents tomorrow at the store (I'm working at Hancock's Fabrics, and I'll get one for you.) I'll pick a nice simple full one for you if you would like.
I am on my way to bed and don't have time to catch up. I really wanted to show ya'll an apron I've been working on. It is a Mary Mulari pattern. The pattern has patterns for dolls, kids and adults in the same package. This apron is very comfortable, fully reversible and will fit a size 6 to a 28. I have proof of this. I have it on my two sewing dummies which are sizes 6 and 28+ I am amazed that it works like this and still looks nice on either size! Each side is completely different. One is made with fat quarters the other is all one fabric. The red side is from new Christmas fabric that we got in at the store and I loved it. I used drapery cotton twill for the ties. Here is the apron...it is not quite finished, but it is after midnight and I am tired.
I'll catch up on Tuesday!
The fat quarter side is chocolate and cherries! It is adjustable because of the way the strapping system works. I had seen a vintage apron designed like this and ran across this Mary Mulari apron at the sewing machine repair shop. It is called: Mary Mulari's Newfangled Reversible Apron.
Here is a link to her site for the apron:

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....Later!!
Gotta get some sleep.

OK I am back and I have a lot to read and catch up on.
Renfaire was Perfect weather... and we did well for the start of the season...
I will be making soap all this week trying to catch-up for the rest of this show. I have to finish the dress since they want to Photograph me in it in the booth for promotional stuff.... A little scary!
But I will be back to read and comment....
Georgann.... Love the cherry Apron!
Then... Back to aprons and totes
