Once upon a time when my kids were little I made them aprons. Those aprons are still here, now used by the grandsons. River also wore them, but he's now over 6' tall so has officially outgrown them.

Last year when Joann's went out of business I grabbed all the duck cloth I could get my hands on (to be more specific, I grabbed all the cotton fabrics I could get my hands on - especially the last few days when the fabric was practically being given away!) specifically to make kids aprons from. And make aprons I did! And then I photographed the aprons to list on Etsy and proceeded to sell out of most of the fabric before I got them listed. That's a happy problem to have. :)

I have found a few new fabric sources and am looking for more, and am now very consistently sewing and selling children's aprons at markets. And now is a perfect time to get more listed.

The aprons fit ages 2 to at least 12, and are machine washable and they're great not only in the kitchen but also for woodworking, art, chores, and so much more. This particular print is a little more girly with the flowers and purple, but I do have many that are more boyish/neutral.

This farm animal apron can be found here.
