Free PDF Pattern & Tutorial: Upside Downside Apron {by The Crafty Kitty}

I am very pleased to welcome Stephanie, of The Crafty Kitty, back to the Birch Blog to share yet another fabulous tutorial with you all!  Stephanie is committed to sewing organic, which makes it such a perfect partnership in our book.  Well that and her mad skillz.  That's right... I spelt skillz with a "z".  She's that good.  Enjoy!

The Crafty Kitty | Upside Downside Reversible, Kid's Apron

 A quick sew, this reversible apron fits ages 2-5 years. Double the apron, for double the mess and double the FUN! You will need:
Print out and assemble the pdf pattern. Cut apron (on the fold) from your 2 fabrics. Cut the ribbon into 2 x 1 metre pieces (1 yard pieces should work too). Bind 1 end of each piece by using a very narrow zig zag stitch.

Next, pin, then baste loops and ribbons (non bound end) 1/4" seam allowance.

  Now, place main apron and lining apron, right sides facing. sew all the way around using 1/2" seam allowance. Making sure you leave a 2-3" gap at the bottom of the apron for turning, trim seam allowance to 1/4" and trim corners.

  Turn apron, right sides facing out. Finally, press and top stitch 1/8" away from edge.

Options for customization:
  • Use a contrast top stitch
  • Add a simple rectangular pocket
  • Try adding, contrast bias binding or piping around the edges
This apron is great for role play as well as messy activities.

It makes a great, last minute, gift. Give the apron, on its own, paired with cookie cutters or a homemade playdough bakery set.

The apron ties by crossing the ribbons at the back, threading through the loops at the waist then tying together in the centre (see central image in collage above).

  27. Farhan Akhtar will soon be seen in the upcoming sports drama, Toofaan in the role of a boxer. The film has created quite a storm ever since its teaser came out. The actor was highly praised for his performance in the trailer and has gotten into the skin of his character with extreme ease.Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Toofaan marks the second collaboration for Akhtar and Mehra, who previously brought Milkha Singh's life story to the big screen in the 2013 biopic Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Toofaan is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Farhan Akhtar. The much-awaited movie features a stellar cast with Farhan in the lead alongside Mrunal Thakur, Paresh Rawal, Supriya Pathak Kapur and Hussain Dalal. The Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directorial will premiere globally on Amazon Prime Video on May 21, 2021.The teaser shows glimpses from the life of Ajju Bhai, played by Farhan. He is the town goon, a thug from Dongri who beats up people at whim, creating chaos wherever he goes. However, he carves a new life for himself when he decides to become a boxer. With support from his girlfriend (Mrunal) and his trainer (Paresh), and a lot of hard work, Ajju Bhai becomes 'Toofaan'.Rakeysh is reuniting with Farhan after seven years and he said the actor-director was the perfect fit for the lead role in Toofaan. "After working with Farhan in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, I was certain he would be the perfect protagonist for Toofaan. The best thing about him is that he does not act the part, but lives it completely.

    "Toofaan is a story that will motivate and inspire all of us to get out of comfort zones and fight towards achieving our dreams. We cannot wait to present our film to viewers across the globe," the filmmaker added.Earlier, speaking about the film, Farhan had said, "The script of a film should move him as an actor, feels Farhan. Putting this level of effort is only possible, if the story motivates you to give your best. At the end of the day, we’re not making a film to showcase a great physique, but to emotionally engage the audience with the journey of the character. To make that experience believable, all efforts are worth it."i think you are excited to watch more movies on my website.there is more movies.you can check & watch now here.
