Adorable Apron

The towel offers a convenient feature for the apron, as does the pocket.

This pattern has been on our website for almost 20 years. It was one of the first patterns posted. It is a favorite among our visitors.

Also see Quilt Block Apron In Larger Size

Don't miss our Free Quilt Lessons. It covers basic quilt techniques as well as creating points (sewing triangles).

This apron pattern is approximately size 4-6: little girl.

The finished quilt block (including the border) measures 8" square. You can use any 8" quilt block.

The skirt measures 13" across the top. My skirt has a length of 13.5".

Adjust the size by changing the length or width of the skirt, and/or changing the quilt block size.

Cutting Tools

I recommend using a Rotary Cutter, Cutting Mat and Sewing Ruler. I use these tools for most projects. They allow for easy, precise cutting. Visit my Amazon store page to purchase these tools, fusible fleece, insul-bright, heat resistant cloth, quilting pins, and other items I use in my projects.
