Me Two and Me Three
Aprons - July 24, 2017
I finally finished the Me Two and Me
Three aprons to go with the Mimi and Me aprons I posted on June 23rd. This summer has been really busy with
traveling, camping, and everyday life events!
I try to sew several times a week, but sometimes that is just not possible.
I was unable to use the same pattern
as the one I used for the Mimi and Me aprons because it did not include the
sizes I needed for Me Two and Me Three.
Instead, I used Simplicity 1240 and modified it to be suitable for
boys. I got rid of the ruffles, the angled
cut of the side seams, crisscrossed straps on the back of the apron, and the
gathered, decorated pocket. I made
substitutions to make the aprons look as much like the Mimi and Me aprons as
possible.
I did not think the flower print
fabrics I used for the Mimi and Me aprons were appropriate for aprons for young
boys. I kept the same colors, but
substituted a solid color (orange) fabric and a print of gnomes, pinwheels, and
orange flamingos. I used the same style
pocket and I cut the side seams straight to get rid of the excess fabric at the
bottom of the aprons. I included a strap
around the neck like the one used in the larger aprons.
I hope Mimi’s grandchildren will
enjoy cooking with Mimi while wearing coordinated aprons!
