Sew or no-sew, this simple little apron can be made for any size doll, even if you're sewing skills are minimal! Cut it from a no fray fabric or a soft knit or even a plastic table cloth from the dollar store if you prefer. You will also need some ribbon and a needle and thread or hot glue alternatively for a no-sew version.

I used a large serving plate to draft a pattern for our doll salon aprons. You will only need half a plate's size for the apron pattern. Fold the cut fabric in half and cut a small 'moon' shaped collar next. If you are making a no-sew version of this salon apron type, you will not need to finish the edges of the doll's apron. I made the sewn version so the edges were turned under and stitched down with pink embroidery floss on the sides. I then turned the hem and whip stitched this to finish the bottom of my salon doll's aprons. Attach ribbons on the collar and also in two places on the back with sewing or hot glue.
Left, see the ribbons tied on the back of the apron to secure it to the doll. Right, here is a My Generation Doll wearing the exact same apron that fits both 14" and 18" dolls. |
