Aprons for Asher

Welcome all you crafty people!

Today I have a couple aprons to show you.

I was Christmas shopping at a Handmade's store

in Ohio and saw aprons made from men's shirts.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any kids sized ones.

My friends laughed when I said, guess I'll have to make

it myself, but that's just what I intended to do.
Later in my visit, we visited a Goodwill store and

I found 2 boys shirts.  Asher is a 2T right now, so I wanted

a larger size.  These were the only 2 button up shirts they had

in sizes that would work.

I found this video on YouTube on how to make an 

apron from a man's shirt and followed the process, it's just

on a smaller scale.

I love that this shirt even had a breast pocket on it.

This shirt was actually a pajama shirt, but it's perfect for an 

apron.  I was gathering up the scraps and realized that

the cuff of the sleeve would make a perfect pocket.

So I salvaged that and added a pocket to the apron.

I always love a pocket on my aprons, so figured it would be

a good thing for Asher too.

I gave him both these aprons for Christmas, one for home and one

for G-Ma's house.  Both the kids love to cook and bake with me,

Marie has her own aprons, so I figured Asher should too.

One very convenient thing is that all I need to do 

to fit it over his head is open a button or two.  
No playing around with trying to get the neck strap at 

the right length and it has great coverage.

Here are a few pictures of Asher, in his apron

while helping me make mac and cheese for dinner.

Isn't he the cutest cook ever?

He loves that there is a pocket in his apron too.

He's always happy to cook with G-Ma.

Thanks for stopping in today.

I hope you will come again soon.

Until then,

check out a new project on YouTube and

give it a try.
