Pattern Details and Tips

This preschool craft apron pattern is designed with little ones in mind. It’s easy to sew and adjustable, ensuring a comfortable fit as your child grows. The apron ties around the waist and neck, with a front pocket perfect for holding art supplies.

Tips for Sewing with Cotton Fabric:

Pre-wash your fabric: Cotton can shrink after washing, so it’s always a good idea to pre-wash before cutting.
Use a universal needle: A universal sewing machine needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) works well with cotton fabric.
Press your seams: Ironing your seams as you go will give your apron a crisp, professional finish.
