Make-Believe Monday: Bakers in Aprons



Among the other crazy dress-ups we've collected the past few years, we had no aprons. Thinking that chefs and bakers should be basic among the make-believe options, I found online patterns to follow (apron and hat). They were easy to make (I did adjust the aprons to be a few inches narrower and the hats' bands a few inches shorter). I paired some Summertime prints I had on hand with bright ginghams. Sure, I could have gone more traditional and classy with white, but I think the final products below burst with character and cheer! Pretty cute!

The girls had seen me prepping to sew the aprons, but had no idea of the hats to match. They were very happy with how they turned out. Tyler, in contrast, was pretty upset when I didn't pull one out for him as well. He had to eventually settle on a pile of goldfish in a mixing bowl. Sorry, Bub, only two sets were made.

Excited to use the real pots and pans from the kitchen, nothing more was really needed. Easy enough. But, I did add blank recipe cards, to sneak writing in. Meg carefully listed ingredients. Paige detailed the pictures of what "Customer-Meg" ordered at her "Bakeshop."
