If you’re looking for the cutest apron patterns with kid friendly designs, then look no further! With 6 different styles to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect apron pattern for your next project.
A good friend of mine recently requested some aprons for her 2 little girls. Kids love having their own apron to wear for play time or when helping in the kitchen. I love to craft and sew, so that request was an easy yes for me!
I immediately fell in love with some fabric from Joann’s and couldn’t wait to turn it into little aprons. Aren’t fruit prints just darling? And how about stripes and flowers? Let’s just say…..I made more than 2 aprons!
In fact, I made 6 different apron styles and created patterns for each version – because why not? Everyone loves having options, and with these 6 child apron designs, you can find something for everyone to enjoy!

Why You’ll Love these Child’s Apron Patterns
These aprons have been a hit with everyone who has tried them! This is why I love them:
- Adored by kids – these aprons are darling and kids love having one that fits them just right.
- Perfect for beginners – these patterns use easy stitches and basic techniques. If you’ve got a sewing machine, you can make these child-size aprons!
- Quick, low cost project – you won’t needs to buy yards and yards of fabric. In fact, these little cuties are a great way to use up fabric scraps.
- Complete with pockets. Yes – pockets!
- Kids friendly design that is easy for kids to put on and take off themselves. Thank goodness!
- Great gifts – your little one would love to get a new apron for their birthday or Christmas.
- Lots of choices – full apron, half apron, ruffles and curves or a straight bottom edge – it’s all up to you!
Kid-Friendly Apron – Improved Design!
My absolute favorite feature of these little aprons are the ties, or rather the lack of ties.
Traditional waist ties can be a pain and kids usually need help with them. I decided to create new apron patterns with Velcro fabric straps, which allows little hands to put them on and take them off with ease.
It is so nice to have that feature and kids love the extra independence it gives them!

I know this is an old tutorial, but I just used it to make my daughter an apron and it is so darling. I scaled it down even more because she is only 15 months but she loves cooking and now she loves her apron. Thanks!
Great pattern, my 6 yr old and I made it over the course of a couple sewing sessions. The only thing I would do differently is a longer waist strap, so it could be tied in a bow.<br />
Fantastic pattern, just made two aprons with cupcake pockets for a sale at my church to raise funds for our beautiful organ to be repaired. I think I may be making a few more for my friends children! Thank you so much.<br />
What a super easy pattern. I'll make this for my grandson who just loves helping me in the kitchen. Thank you.
So the photos have the waist tie being really long, then the end photo where you attach the velco, they look super short- whats going on there?
So cute!<br />I made it for my friend's daughter.<br />Next,I would like to make to my daughter. <br />
Fantastic! Worked out great, thank you so much!
Do you have a tutorial for the chef's hat?<br />
I just found this and LOVE it! SO CUTE! My friend's daughter will be getting an adorable apron this Christmas, thanks to you.
Just made this for my 2-year old. Getting her a kitchen for her birthday, and thought she needed an apron 🙂 LOVE how it turned out!!! thanks for a super easy tutorial!!
Beautiful! Cute, cute! Thank you!
I love this apron tutorial! I am pretty new to sewing and the instructions and pictures were so clear and helpful! I got the apron done in 3 hours and it looks wonderful! Definitely making more for gifts
I just finished making one of these. Your ruffle method is wonderful! I've never had just perfect ruffles. Thank you!
Very cute! I just made an apron for my niece from that same lemon fabric – I guess it was calling to be an apron!<br /><br />Dani
Such a darling pattern and excellent instructions! I completed one this afternoon and will be gifting it to an adopted Christmas angel.<br /><br />Becky
Love,love, LOVE these!!! Featured you today on http://www.GOODEnessGracious.com
Great tutorial! I've been searching for a fun apron and this hits the mark! Thanks 🙂
How cute! Your tutorial is very well explained, great job!
I love that lemon fabric too, it makes me happy!
These are so cute! I love the velcro neck closure ~ what a great idea!
Thanks for the great instuctions. I will have to make this project as well. I love how you also made it possible for these aprons to fit multiple sizes of kids. Really helps save money if you don't have to go out and get a new one every time they go through a grown spurt.
Those are adorable. I love the adjustable neckline, I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the ruffle tip, I'll give it a try next time I dare to ruffle.
Cute!!! I have been planning on making an apron for my daughter and I bookmarked this so I can come back to it! Thanks!
