Tag Archives: clothing protectors

My daughter-in-law asked that I bring my sewing machine the next time that I visit.

She wants to make an adult bib apron for her Mom.

She doesn’t sew, and it may be quite a while before I can get across the state to visit her.

So we texted back and forth, so that I could understand just what she had in mind, and what would be needed for this project.

She wants a very simple reversible bib apron with pockets.

So I browsed the internet for ideas, and came up with a free pattern by iThinksew.

I drew a pattern for pockets to use with the clothing protector pattern from iThinksew, since that pattern does not include pockets.

I also chose to use snaps because I don’t have Velcro on hand, but I have plenty of snaps.

This was a quick and easy afternoon project!

It turned out cute and I headed outside to take photos to share.

I ended up taking two very quick photos since a fast moving thunder, lightning, and hail storm zoomed in!

I like this apron so much that I think I will make another for myself. Those pockets will come in handy out in the garden! In fact, I can see using this apron in the kitchen and craft room, too! It could also be a great gift, so I could make a few extra for my gift box.

Have fun and carry on!
