And I plan to make several more to donate to a craft sale. Thank for such good directions!

[@martipardun8928]

Chrystal I love this tutorial but my only problem is, not all fat quarters are alike. Some are rectangle but the ones I have are actually 19" square. So having some measurements would be helpful. I guess I can take one side down a couple inches.

[@HomemakingontheHomestead]

Oh interesting, I've never seen a 19" square fat quarter. The ones I purchase are always 19 x 22". I think the basic method would still work. The straps are not an exact size. As long as they can be fed through the apron and tied in the back it's long enough.. if that makes sense. I will measure the finished straps today and update what that finished size is on both the small and medium aprons. -Crystal🙂

[@martipardun8928]

@@HomemakingontheHomestead thank you so much. I bought the fat quarters on Amazon so that might be the reason for the unusual sizes.😏

[@HomemakingontheHomestead]

@@martipardun8928 OK.. that would make sense! I measured the straps.. somewhere between 80 to 90 inches.. finished size.. but that is still a lot of strap! LOL.. so even if it's smaller it most likely would work fine. -Crystal🙂

Vpould you give me the length of 5he toddler I can't down load thank you

[@HomemakingontheHomestead]

Hi.. I didn’t take the total length because I used a fat quarter.. after cutting the pocket piece, as shown in the video, what’s left is used for the strap.

[@katielove9932]

I made aprons somewhat like yours over 30 years ago. On the one you made with the white pocket and aqua designs, your stitching is very wavy. It's important to keep a straight consistent sewing line. The aprons are a good length but the pockets are too large. They would look better to be smaller and have maybe some thin lace or ribbon for a design across the top and down the center of the pockets.

[@HomemakingontheHomestead]

The pattern is very versatile.. you can make any changes you like 😊. My granddaughter has not minded the wavy stitching.. 😄
