My boys LOVE being in the kitchen.
They love to help cook, bake, microwave, make messes on the floor, all of it!
So while at Hobby Lobby the other day, I decided they should have aprons!
Cute, boyish aprons.
Since I'm still here with mom, she was checking out the material, while I was checking out the apron and iron-ons.
When I went back to her she had this CUTE Thomas material that Caleb loved, and then we found some Mickey mouse material right by it!
Perfection!
So what I have here is a yard of each fabric (could totally use a half, or less) $2
Some cute iron-on letters for their names $3.99
2 child size aprons ($2.99)
sewing machine, thread, iron
We made a pattern for our pockets out of construction paper and cut it!So thrifty, huh? haha
We doubled it and put it back to back, pinned it..
and sewed it! Then we also folded the top over, and

Here it is pinned on the apron, ready to be sewed on!
Here's Mom, starting to work on Ayden's since we figured out where we were going with Caleb's! You can tell she's been sewing much longer, her's is straighter than mine! lol
Me sewing!
Sewing the Thomas pocket on!
After the pocket was sewed on, I got the iron-on letters out for their names!
And..well..duh! Ironed em' on! :)

And here's Ayden's all finished! Ahhh too cute!
Caleb got to using his right away.
My child would NOT stop eating the chocolate chips..
And here's Ayden with his on! So adorable.
This was such a fun project! One of my last while I'm here visiting, and
I think it turned out SUPER cute!
And cheap at roughly $8 a piece, could have been cheaper had I gotten less fabric! :)

Caleb got to using his right away.You see, it was my mom's birthday, and since we were here we had to make her a cookie cake!
My child would NOT stop eating the chocolate chips..
Even after I put the egg in it, before mixing it, he just ate around it.
Kids these days..
And here's Ayden with his on! So adorable.
This was such a fun project! One of my last while I'm here visiting, and I'm so glad I got to do another with my mom, especially on
her birthday! So fun and didn't take long at all!

Aweee...they turned out very cute!! Like the sewing thing, huh??? Come on admit it!! LOL
Too cute! I love personalized things! Great job! :)
So cute! You need a machine, girl. It's really not that hard to sew, and looks like you're really starting to get the hang of it. :) We bought the boys some handmade aprons at the LC Farmer's Market a few years ago, and these totally remind me of them. I haven't pulled them out since we moved. Hmmm... Anyways, Love Caleb's comment, too. Haha! He's such a ham. ♥
Love,
Sarah
