These matching aprons for my oldest granddaughter and her 2 little girls are something I have been wanting to do for 2 yrs now. I finally got it in my head how to just do them easiest way I know with gathered skirt part. I think I will have to open the front waistband and chop about an inch off the length of my granddaughter's, I measured her, I really did, but it just looks too long. They are getting them for an added Cmas present. I put a couple Kam Snaps on the neck strap as I have no idea how loose or how tight to make them. The little girls are age 8 and 5.

Hi Patti, great effort on them all. If one is too long, I'd just take a tuck in the body of the skirt and make a pleat! Love Chris

It is the bib part I think is too long--I might just chop off an inch and tuck it back in the waistband and re-sew it back up. Just a little ripping out to do and won't hurt the gathered skirt part.

Patti if one is too long wouldn’t it be easier to take some off at the hem? I think I have some similar fabric if not the same that the skirts are out of. The tops are nice and colorful. They will be so excited !

If they are too long that will be fine--it is the bib part of my granddaughter's that just looks too long to me. All fabrics are from JoAnns.

Since canning lots this year I decided to start wearing an apron even though I wear old clothes around for all the tasks around here [we live so far out, no one comes anyways]--thank you, they will love them.

What special gifts for your daughter and grandchildren. These are definitely worth the wait.

I think they will be surprised and excited to have them to wear. When I took some measurements the little one said 'I bet your gonna make me a Mrs. Claus dress--thought that was funny.

Great fabrics. I predict cookies or brownies for the first baking!

They love being on the stools and stirring things then dipping out cookies and things with spoons. Fabrics are from JoAnns.
