American Girl Doll Apron Tutorial
I started with the apron pattern on DaydreamDoll Boutique’s blog – scroll to the bottom of her post and click on Doll Chef
Set Pattern and, of course, I had to switch it up a bit. Here is what my pattern ended up looking
like:
Cut a piece of interfacing 1” wide. Serge to the top of the front. Serge bottom edge of the back.
|
Press facing on the front under 1”. Press bottom edge of back at 3/8”. Add ric rac or any other trim. Cot a strap 1.25” by 28” long. Fold in half and serge the long edge.
|
Stack the aprons wrong sides
together. Open the top facing and bring
the pocket to the front. Pin in place.
|
With the front facing open, serge the
armholes and side seams.
|
Cut neck strap 8” long. Serge both short ends to clean finish. Sew one end to bottom of facing.
|
Add a piece of soft Velcro to the other
end of the neck strap.
|
Add hard Velcro to the facing only. Turn facing to the wrong side and topstitch
at the top and bottom.
|
Cut remaining strap in half. With right sides together, attach at side
seams. Turn back and topstitch.
|
I used my loop turner to pull my serger
tails back under the serged seam.
|
Tie knots at the ends of the straps. Chalk mark and sew down center of the pocket. Bartack.
|
The Velcro at the neck makes it very
easy to put on or take off.
American Girl Doll Oven Mitt Tutorial
I started out using the oven mitt
pattern from Daydream Doll Boutique’s blog however, I cut as one piece. Trace it on to the wrong side of the
fabric. Do not cut it out.
Draw diagonal lines on the fabric about
5/8” apart.
Sew on the lines.
Cut out.
Serge across the top.
Press top under ¼”.
Insert 4” of 1/8” elastic. Secure both ends.
Pin mitt right sides together and
sew. Clip, turn and press.
