This week we’re featuring a few projects to make for babies and toddlers. First up is this “bapron“, the baby apron from Craftiness Is Not Optional. I love the idea of this apron rather than a bib. It offers better front coverage than a regular bib plus it’s harder than a velcro bib for baby to rip off and throw across the room (not that I have any personal experience with that…).
Update: This pattern is no longer free, but can be purchased here for $6.

If you haven’t discovered Grosgrain yet, they’re having a free pattern MONTH event going on right now. Today’s pattern is a cute baby/toddler hat designed by Prudent Baby you could easily customize for a boy or girl.
And last but not least for this week, these adorable kimono baby shoes from HomeSpun-Threads! Make a pair to match the hat above or coordinate them with baby pants or a dress for a great gift set.

Love the Bapron – I’ll use the fabulous seam binding I won from you guys! Thanks very much.
This is the nicest bib I have ever seen. I wish I had it when my last two were little. My middle one truly needed this design, it might have save several outfits until I got smart and set her in her high chair nude from the waste up. LOL
One question: How much yardage of binding did it take to around the out side and for the tie?
Thanks Verna

Hi Verna! This is actually not a tutorial Mary or I wrote, so you’d have to go to the link provided and leave a comment there to find out. I’m glad you liked the round-up!
Love all the tutorials keep up the good work.
I love the kimono baby shoes, but the link doesn’t work. Is there another way to see how these are designed?
Thank you
Hi April! I just checked the links and everything worked for me. You can try searching for HomeSpun Threads kimono shoes and get to it that way, or here’s the direct link:https://myhomespunthreads.blogspot.com/2008/10/free-kimono-shoes.html?m=1
I hope that helps!
