6 year old, apron, carrots, kids apron

Reef is an awesome little dude who turned 6 yesterday. He also happens to be my neighbor and shares the back yard with me.

Reef’s dad is a chef and Reef and his older sister Marley learned how to work in a kitchen, even using knives correctly since they were very young. I thought about what I could make for him and quickly came up with the idea of a custom apron for him. I talking with Marley about what kind of fabric to use and ended up learning that he is in love with carrots right now, so I was set! I also wanted to hand embroider a little customized patch at the top that said CHEF REEF.

So, he had his party today and I got to  give his his apron. He loves it, but did not like me making him put it on in front of everyone, sorry buddy!

looking sharp!

I can’t wait to do some cooking or gardening with this guy!

Happy Birthday Reef!

An Apron For Maman

apron, cotton, fashion, roman square, vintage

Two years ago for Christmas I made aprons for everyone in my family. The guys got custom-made reversible grilling aprons while I went a little more old school with the women. I wanted that prairie feeling so went with a Roman Square pattern for the front with 6 different fabrics for each and then added a waistband and attached a gathered skirt portion for the bottom with strips of each of the 6 fabrics. I did not end up putting pockets on them, I think it was a time issue….and one I should fix! All good aprons have at least one pocket in my opinion.

The one major design change I made was to do away with the standard behind the neck strap and waist tie. I wanted something that was not uncomfortable around the neck and felt nice and secure while you were wearing it. I came up with the crossing at the back and tying at the waist. I need to make the straps a little longer to help facilitate tying this on your own, but I like the final look and feel of the design.

Want your own apron? I’d love to make you one, any style, any fabric. Leave me a comment and we can get to work
