A few days ago I tied one of my half aprons on my daughter and she loved it! She was Mommy's big girl helper, putting away toys and zipping around in her apron. The next time I tied an apron on she wanted one on too! So I knew I had to make her an apron!
My brother was here over his Thanksgiving break from school, and it was just a lazy type of visit. Food, football (for the guys), and hanging out. While the guys got their fill of football, I went to town sewing!
For the bias tape application, I zig-zagged rather than straight stitched. I like the way it turned out! It wasn't any faster or anything, but I think it adds a nice finishing touch.
I made this same pattern for my youngest sister, a long time ago! She wore it for several years. I don't know if this pattern is still available, but here are the details:
Simplicity 8916, View D
Size 3
This will be under the Christmas tree, probably the last year I can make gifts right under my daugther's nose! As I was photographing the smock this afternoon, she said, "Oh, how cute!"

I agree with your daughter. How cute! Sue
And she is right - how cute! :) She'll love being Mommy's big helper!
So precious!! And I love that she wants to wear an apron too! :)
I looked for the pattern and it doesn't seem to be available any longer. Sue
Thank you! :-)
Sue, I wondered if that might be the case. Sometimes you can find older patterns on ebay or Etsy. There are three on ebay right now:
apron pattern, and one one Etsy, but it's more expensive than the ones on Ebay.
Thanks, Tammy! Sue
I made this same pattern for my daughter a few years ago. Your version is adorable.
