A friend asked me to make aprons for herself and her 2 year old. The only requirements were that they coordinate with each other, and that they be "funky." I spent way too much time on the fun task of selecting fabric - what awesome colors should I choose? Just how funky should the pattern be? Where is the balance between something that appeals to a little girl but isn't too girly? I finally settled on Heather Ross' Mendocino (Seahorses in Rust and Underwater Sisters in Fuschia) - just crazy enough when combined, but still really cute.
I used the following tutorials to get a rough idea of sizes (because I didn't have any full size aprons in the house to measure): adult size and child size.
And as a side note, I made more pillowcases for my aunt, who loved the snowmen set I made her for Christmas. They're so cute! The owls are from the Alice Kennedy Apple collection. I kind of wanted to keep them for myself, but I think I have another good use for the half-yard I have left.
