I am back with a little project that has been on my sewing list for way too long – an apron for my girl.

I wanted to make an apron that was cute on both sides. So my original plan was to use a different fabric on each side. That is when Miss Matatabi suggested using this reversible gingham, which is a lovely linen and cotton blend. Brilliant idea! Gingham on one side and dots on the other! This fabric made this project quick and easy, which was just what I needed.

I pinned a tutorial ages ago for an adorable everyday apron (by Heidi / The Fabric Mutt) in an adult size and adapted it for a little person. Quick sewing projects are the perfect medicine for a busy week! I think it took me longer to get photos of my little one standing still than to make the apron.

My little one is in love with it. Sewing for her is so fun! She asked me where my new apron was. My sewing list keeps growing!

It’s no secret that linen and cotton blends are my favourites. I love the feel of them – and the weight. It’s perfect for a project like this. I am planning on making some tea towels out of the reversible black fabric below. If you want some of your own you can choose from ten different colours in the Miss Matatabi fabric shop.
