WHOO HOO!!! It’s finally here… Fourteen Days of Crafting Love, I am so excited! I am also so thrilled to have such a FABULOUS group of talented bloggers participating in this fun Party.
Mom4Real, Yesterday on Tuesday, Craftberry Bush, The Polka Dot Closet, Rook No.17, 504 Main, My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia, A Spoonful of Sugar, and Live Laugh Rowe.
We will all be posting together today and then after this each blogger has an assigned day where they will be sharing on there blogs a Fun and Lovely craft with you. I will be posting EVERY day so be sure to be checking back and checking out these other Fabulous blogs for the next 14 days..
Today I will be sharing with you this Diy Ruffled Apron, the BONUS is I will be giving this Apron away at the end of this Party.. How exciting is that!! And, the best thing is all you have to do is leave a comment at the end of this post.
So on the off chance you don’t win this Adorable Apron, I will go ahead and show you how to make one of your very own.
I cut 2 pieces for the bib in a rectangle shape 10×13 . On the ruffle pieces I cut those on the fold, bottom ruffle 12 inches, middle ruffle 10.5 inches and top ruffle 7.5 inches. The waist band (2 total) 2.5x 27 inches and the straps (4 total) 2.5x 76 inches long. (the straps are extra long because they crisscross in the back.
Cut out a base for your ruffles to be attached to. I cut mine 21×7 inches. You will need to finish the bottom, top and sides of your ruffle strips. You can use a serger or a zig zag stitch. Turn over your finish edges and top stitch. Ruffle the Top Edge of our ruffle strips and then attach them to your base starting from the bottom ruffle to the top.
For the bib place right sides together and stitch up the sides, turn right sides out and press. On your straps sew right sides together stitch up the sides and leave the top and bottoms open for turning right sides out. Press and top stitch. Place your straps inside the top of your bib and sew.
Take your waistband strips and place right sides together with your bib sandwiched in between. Pin in place and sew.
On the bottom part of your waist band turn the edges under about an half and inch and press.Then place your Ruffled pieces in the middle of your bottom waistband, pin and sew.
I made two little strips (you can see in the top left picture) by taking 2 inch strips and doing the same thing I did for my straps. I put them in on the ends of my waistband to act as loops for my apron straps to go through, in order for it to crisscross on the back into a bow.
And… There you have it. Your very own Ruffled Apron!
Simple as that!

Such a sweet apron. I can’t wait to see all the crafts that you are all doing. So exciting.
Praying for you brave son. This has to be so hard. I was thinking of him last night. I was wondering if it could be something very weird that might have caused this and maybe it will just go away. Maybe that is wishful thinking but it would be nice. (((((HUGS)))))

Beautiful apron!
I found your blog originally because of your lovely aprons a few years ago! I have been a faithful follower since. I would be thrilled to win this adorable apron, and be sure that I’ll be referring back to this DIY to fashion one for my (very) little girl as well! Thanks so much for sharing. I really enjoy all of the loveliness you post here!
I love this apron. Looking forward to making a white one and perhaps a brightly colored one!
This apron is so cute! I can’t sew a thing so I really need to win!
Love this apron. It is so beautiful. I am new to sewing and enjoy your DIY tutorials.
Would LOVE to get this for daughter
This apron is beautiful. I love aprons. The ruffle ones are always my favorite. Thank you for sharing the tutorial!
This is just heartfully perfect! I am wheelchair bound and I don’t cook lot, but when I get a chance and get in the kitchen with my aide, I always make a mess on my lap.She was saying that i really need an apron! I’d love to win this one, but if not, maybe she can help me to figure a way to make one.Your tutorial is very good! Thanks for taking the time to do these neat projects and their tutorials!
I don’t normally wear aprons, although often in hindsight I wish I had. But I adore this and would be looking for excuses to wear it. Just hanging on a hook in the kitchen, it would make a statement. Okay, I don’t have a hook, but I could install one.
Love this apron and the great tutorial… This would make a lovely Valentine present for my daughter. Thanks for the opportunity to win this adorable apron.
Love the apron but I’m not sure how long it would be white the way I cook
Got to be one of the prettiest aprons I’ve seen! Looking forward to your other Valentine ideas. New follower and would love to win!
Oh I love this apron! Sweet – Girly – And So Me!

Love this – I’m a novice sewer, so not sure that I can make it, but I might try it – it’s so cute!
This would be the PERFECT gift for my future daughter in law. She is an aspiring young chef and LOVES aprons. This would look gorgeous on her.

How cute is this!? I would love to win your apron. Thanks for the giveaway!
I absolutely love this apron. It is so feminine and darling! And how sweet are you to teach us all how to make our own. Adorable!
I don’t know how to sew, but this is sewing is one of my goals. I taught my self how to crochet in one night and am embarking on learning new things this year. I decided after a long time I would learn to sew due to the close I currently see in the store for little girls. Since I now have a daughter I want to make sure she has a variety of “little girl” clothes to wear that keep her cute and innocent in her attire. Love this apron as we love to cook together!! Good luck everyone.
I love this beautiful apron. The pure white and ruffles with that sweetheart red accent is stunning!
What a great apron, I can’t wait to make one for myself! Of course, I’ll have to wait to see if I win first!
This apron is absolutely precious
So lovely. Classic apron with a cute modern look. If I had it I be live I would feel like June Cleaver. I love it!!!!
What a cute apron! Thanks so much for sharing the tutorial!
Sew pretty! From your very clear pictures, this charming apron looks very simple and fun to make!
I am always looking for apron designs and this one is adorable!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
My daughter would look sooo cute in this!
How many yards of fabric does it take to make it?
I love this! IT is the cutest thing ever, I know I would feel so cute wearing it while I bake <3
I ‘m a new stay at home mom, trying to learn how to cook, bake, sew, raise a baby and keep a clean house ! I know this darling apron would not only look adorable on me it would make feel like the domestic goddess I wish was
Your apron creation is truly an inspiration
Such an adorable ruffle apron…just found you while surfing the web. Thanks for sharing how to make one. I hope I win yours! Peace & Love
This is lovely, I would LOVE to wear this in my kitchen while entertaining!
Did I miss the giveaway?
I love this apron. And I’m going to make some for birthdays. My friends and family will surly thank you. Thanks for the easy and creative tutorial.
im confused by the ruffle pieces. It say 7.5, 10.5, and 12…. is that length, width, or is that whole part equal sides?
Hi Nakia,
Thank you so much for stopping in. I mentioned that the Ruffles were cut on the FOLD of the fabric. So the 7.5 is cut on the FOLD so the 7.5 is how Tall tall the RUFFLE is.. I hope this helps. If you have any other question please feel free to ask.. Have a great week!
I LOVE THIS APRON, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING IT WITH US. GOD BLESS YOU
Just discovered your blog….Love the Tutorial- the apron is adorable!!
Love the easy style, looks simple to make. Thank you for the pattern, would love to win it.
