how to get instructions for the patterns
I am having problems printing the patterns in PDF. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks a lot for any help.
I have made a few of number 18. It is really easy to follow. The only thing I had trouble with was keeping the font fabric and the back fabric lined up properly while stitching. But my sewing skills are fairly rudimentary and someone with more experience may have no trouble 🙂
And even with my very basic skills it did only take me about an hour and a half to make.
Wow, these are great! I don’t normally wear aprons but your post makes me want all of these! Thanks!!
I love how cute and fun the aprons are! I really like the ones that look like skirts. The one the little boy is wearing is adorable too! Making an apron manly for a boy!
