Kids Apron

Alrighty, so the disclaimer on this little apron is that I don't sew.  I repeat......I don't sew! My main goal when I made this was not to call my mom or neighbor.  Mission accomplished, but maybe I should have. I remember back in Jr. High when I had to take a required sewing class. What a nightmare. If my mind serves me correctly the drop waist on my drop waist dress, dropped right off! My mom and Grandma were always hopeful that I would become interested in sewing one day.  My parents gave me a sewing machine for Christmas one year.  My Grandma gave me a fancy pair of scissors with my name engraved on them. I have only attempted a few projects over the years.  The last thing I remember making was a cape for Belle's Halloween costume a couple of years ago. I hate to admit it but I used my glue gun as much as my sewing machine on the cape. It's true.
Anyway, a new day has dawned. Belle helps me in the kitchen all the time. She has a few cute aprons, but a girl needs options, right?  I found this blog with a cute ruffle apron.  The only problem was that it gave instructions for an adult apron. So I just winged it. I just reduced the measurements a little bit.
I also added a top piece to the apron. I made it detachable so she could wear it with or without. I added a little flower with the extra fabric.

I used the sticky velcro. It attaches to the velcro in the waist band in the skirt. I also  made bands in the back of the skirt instead of ties. I put velcro on those too. It's easier for Belle to put it on herself.
I think it turned out okay for one of my first experiments. Belle loves it.
For those of you who sew this would be a quick project, and easy to understand from her tutorial. For the rest of you, give me a shout out if you need help and I will pretend I know what I am talking about.
