Apron Adjustments


I wanted to adress an issue we've been having with the SMALL size aprons. We've been making them to fit toddlers (2T-4T) and have found that the neck is too small for some, and a bit big for others. Since everyone is a different size and our little ones are growing daily, I thought I would throw a question out there...Would you like the neck to be adjustable? To adjust these aprons and not have the cost of them go up, I wanted to make them tie around the neck, just like they tie around the waist. That way you can make it so the bib covers your child's shirt w/out slipping down and you don't have to squeeze their head to fit through the neck hole. However, they will need your help getting them tied, and that may pose as a setback for some of you. If any of you out there have an opinon on this, I sure would appreciate your feedback. I want everyone to be happy with their purchases! You can leave a comment or email me at janecemendoza@gmail.com to let me know what you think! Thank you!!

I made my kids aprons 2 years ago and ended up making them tie around the neck and waist. It has been very helpful because it does tie up over any clothes, close to the neck is usually how high I tie them. But I'm very happy with that. ANd then it also transfers to other bigger/smaller kids easier. Yours look way cute!! Good job!

Hey my sis-in-law just made aprons for my girls. She didn't make them tie around the neck but used velcro. I thought that was much safer and easier for the kids to put on themselves. Plus if they ever get caught on something the velcro breaks away rather then them choking with the tie. Just a thought...

I think they are so cute & it would be no problem to tie them around the neck. You could always tie a slip knot, then they would be easy to get on & off if your kids heads weren't too big. Just like the Velcro idea, if they got caught on something, the knot would just come undone instead of getting caught.
