Adjustable Kids Apron

Ikea is like heaven to me. Not so much to my husband.
That's OK because luckily he doesn't have to go there with me that often - I tend to take Stella and off we go. It's a little outing with free childcare and free coffee.

I have an Ikea sewing machine which I finally used for Heidi's birthday party. I made little adjustable kids aprons. It was funny to use a sewing machine after not touching one for about 20 years! I only know the basics and that was enough. I'm going to get a little 'masterclass' from a friend soon and I'm very excited to be able to do a little more than stitch in a straight line...

I found a pattern on this website. It was more like a guide in terms of the idea because the measurements didn't really make sense to me. I made a little sample to fit on my kids and then the production line started. Of course I bought the material at Ikea and the textile markers too. Nine aprons later I was done.

It is a very basic apron but the kids loved it at the party and this past week we have been colouring them in almost every day. Little colourful aprons. Yay!
