Little Girl Gift Idea

I have been working on lots of little projects that have been on my list and finished one today! There's just something about crossing off a task on a to do list (I'm totally the kind of person who adds something to my list just so I can cross it off!).

I needed a birthday gift idea for a friend of my boys and remembered that she had a little play kitchen. I searched Pinterest (where else?!) for a DIY child's apron. I found this one at Quilt Fabric Delights Creative and this one at Tidbits. I wanted to incorporate some things from each tutorial in my apron. I also loved that Cami's at Tidbits had a link for a chef's hat tutorial!

Here's what I came up with! (Sorry about the grainy phone pictures!)
I decided to make this one reversible with pockets on both sides.
And I loved the chef's hat tutorial and that it could really fit any size kid.
I really liked how these turned out so I made two more for my nieces birthdays. I thought I took a picture of my youngest niece's apron, but I can't find it and I've already wrapped them....

I used my oldest as a model for the hat (don't mind Hightops the giraffe, he had just woken up).
 
I feel like I could make these in my sleep now! So I got to cross this off my list, but I have added making a really "manly" one for my son to go along with the felt food that's on my to do list! :)
