Introducing the Bapron! aka the "baby apron". I hope the name doesn't turn you off (I know it's hopelessly cheesy), but this bib is really cool! It provides a ton of coverage in the front, much like an adult apron, and ties in back with bias tape! It's easy to make-I can whip one out in less than 1/2 hour (I've made a dozen or so, so I'm getting pretty quick!), even with making the bias tape myself.
Here's the back view with the cute ties! love!
Tip: I use this awesome tool to make my bias tape! (affiliate link)
Would you like to make one (or a dozen) of these for your own cutie, or for gifts?

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. Last night I made 4 of these baprons. They were the first things I have ever cut and sewn together! I was so happy! They came out beautiful! I cannot wait for my daughter to be born to put them on her. Thanks a million!
Could you send me the pattern via email? I can't get the file to open. Thanks so much, waiting to make one.
wouldn't this be great to enlarge the pattern to make for patients in the nursing home or just messy people like me
Like this project,the first one with red shade is my favorite.

Holy awesome Batman!
can't wait to make one
This is adorable. Definitely making some of these for the new grandbaby arriving this fall.
Two grandbabies due to arrive in July & August!! I can't get the patten to open when I click on the link. Would love to make these for the new grandbabies. Would you please send to : apwatne@frontier.com
Thanks so much!
I've made about 12 of these from this tutorial and they are the only bib I will use! I did make one change--I added a pocket at the bottom of this to catch some of the bonus bits that otherwise find their way onto my daughter's lap. I just fold a bit of the fabric over and iron so I have a doubled (right sides out) strip about 6" wide and use the bottom of the bapron that I've cut out as a guide to cutting out the pocket. Sew it on the bottom and then finish as directed. I usually embellish the pocket with rick rack or ribbon.
I have pointed so many people to this tutorial! And recently I made a slightly larger version of your pattern for my slightly larger toddler. Love this so much! Thank you!
Very very cute, georgeous!!
Great pattern. I used the laminated fabric with flannel backs. Also used packaged double fold bias tape and tried several different thread colors and stitches. So cute and quick. Perfect tutorial!! Thanks.
I made an awesome baby care package for a good friend who just had a little baby girl. I included an item from your tutorial. If you want to check it out, it's on my blog post: http://www.domesticacademic.com/2012/06/baby-care-package-pinterest-cornucopia.html

Sensacional... vou fazer para meus sobrinhos. Parabéns e obrigada!
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm going to make some soon but could you give me an estimate of the size? Just wanted to make sure my pattern is somewhat close! THanks!
Delightful tutorial!! I'm going to try making one this very morning!! Thanks!
your litle girl is adorable. such a cute model. and your bib is just too cute. i really like how the ties hold the bib in place. thankx for the tutorial

This is sooooo cute! I pinned it and i definitely need to make a few... my 8mo daughter has figured out how to take off the velcro bibs and they don't cover enough of her anyway.
I did mine only slightly differently because I knew I couldn't cut a straight line for the bias tape, lol.
I did a french seam around the entire bapron, then used some ricrac that I had lying around for the straps/edging.
i made one of this baprons tonight and although i am an absolute beginner, this piece looks really good! so thank you- this is a great tutorial (and a damn cute babygirl :).
greetings from dresden, germany
Super, thanks very much:)
I love this very much. THink it will be very useful.
I discovered the bapron when my daughter was a toddler, so my mom and I enlarged the pattern to 125% and made a bunch of "big baprons." I had to come back to get the original size today since we're having a boy, who needs little ones. While I've only made 4 or 5, I bet my mom has made over 3 dozen for me and all of her friends' grandchildren. Thank you for sharing this pattern -- we really appreciate it!
I have no idea what you mean by a blogger email account, sorry I am new at this. My question is- I want to make it water proof so my daughter's juice doesn't soak through, what would you recommend layering it with?
P.S. Email is TRWhite10@gmail.com if you don't mind responding. Thank you bunches!
I am curious - Do you think terry cloth can be used instead of flannel? It would provide a thicker buffer to the clothes and help with clean up after. Have you ever tried it?
My best friend is having baby and I am trying my hand at making these for her. :-) Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou for such a wonderful free pattern and tutorial.
I bought some gorgeous Teddy Bear material and made my brother a Teddy bear with it. I couldn't bare (haha-pun intended) to leave the rest just sitting there, so whipped up your Bapron.
I've posted pictures on my blog, along with a link back to you and your post.

Thankyou again for such a wonderful tut.
I can't seem to access the pattern. Could I have it sent to me, please? These are so very cute and I have several baby showers coming up.
I just made this Bapron as my first project on my new sewing machine! :) I've done some hand stitching before but this was truly my first project on a machine and I made the bias tape myself! Thank you so much for this super easy project and very easy to follow tutorial. I agree with the other ladies, I may be making some of these as baby gifts...After I practice a few more times. ;)
I made this for a baby gift and it was a hit! I'm new to sewing and your step by step instructions and photos made it so easy for me! Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much for the great tutorial! I've made a couple of these for a friend, and she's said they have been such a lifesaver. My sister just had a baby girl, so I will definitely be breaking out this pattern in the very near future! Keep up the awesome work! :)
P.S. - I've shared and credited you on my blog -- here's the link to the post: http://sewquiltcraft.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-bapron-day-keeps-stain-stick-away.html
My printer is being fussy. Could someone tell me what the diminsions are of this bib. I'll draw it out
I just made one of these last night - here is my photo, if you'd like to see it. I love this pattern!

I bought a plaid Christmas dress on clearance in January at Walmart for a dollar and I plan to use your pattern as a guide to make it into a holiday bapron. Thanks.
Thanks so much for putting this out there. I just made my first Bapron. Not a sewer, just learning as I go. We're expecting our first grand baby any day now. So happy to be able to give grandbaby something homemade from Grandma. Great tutorial.
I know this is an old post, but I wanted to let you know that I made a couple of these for a baby shower. This gal had dozens and dozens AND DOZENS of gifts to open, yet EVERYONE stopped and oohed and aahed over those baprons. When it was over, my 13 yo daughter whispered in my ear "Mom, I'm so proud of our gift!" I was too. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for the pattern!

Do you have any tips or could you point me to some on how to get the bias tape to lay smooth. Mine tends to pucker especially on the corners. HELP love the pattern thetiffanystudio@photographer.net
These look brilliant, I definitely want to try making one for my new niece or nephew once we know the sex :)
Love this idea! Had a little visitor over yesterday and no bib was sent with him. I am going to make some of these as gifts, but a couple to keep on hand for little visitors!
I just made one of these bibs!! I am so excited about it!! I used a layer of clear vinyl over the fabric for easy clean up. I can't wait to try it on my little one tomorrow and try it out. Thank you so much for this post
I saw this on Pinterest and will totally be making a few of these for my daughter's Christmas stocking (she's a month old now) and for Christmas gifts for the other babies I know! I'll also be subscribing to your blog :) thank you so much for sharing this wonderful pattern and for making it free!
Just wanted say this is a fantastic pattern! I made one yesterday, I used a type of wipe clean material and it worked great! I'm sorted for Christmas presents for all my friends' babies. Thank-you!
Came across this other day and it is definitely on the list to do. My grandson is a big drooler and manages to burp copious amounts. Think his Mum might appreciate the practicality of these and I get to use some of my fabric stash
I am so thankful for your sharing, it is wonderful tutorial.
These are on my to-do list! http://www.danyabanya.com/2012/11/five-awesome-projects-on-my-to-do-list.html
I love these bibs and had to try one with some scraps. As i was cutting the pattern out i cut an extra peice for the bottom to make a pocket to catch the food that don't make it in their mouth. Works great!! Give it a try.
I love love love this pattern. I posted about it on my blog and linked back to you. I also included a couple tips about applying the bias tape. http://soisewedthis.blogspot.com/2012/11/totally-drool-worthy.html
Great pattern! Thank You!
This is great! I was a nanny a lifetime ago and the family I worked for had similar bibs. When I had my own, I looked for something along the same lines, but hit dead ends. Thanks for sharing!

I made mine using waterproof canvas in the back and the flannel on the front for absorption. This is the best pattern ever!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Hope you don't mind - I've posted a link to your blog on my facebook page - with a picture of the bapron you have inspired me to work on - a collaboration of embroidery, quilting and hexies - hope you like it!

This is fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing your pattern!

Love this bapron and what a great idea. I certainly had fun making them!
Just for everyone's information, I have found this particular size only just fits my 9-month old granddaughter. However, no dramas, I just re-created the pattern 10% & 15% larger, so I will see how they fit. The binding will also need lengthening.
Thanks for sharing with us!

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that there is a site, losangelesneedlework dot com that is selling your pattern! I found this out because they are selling one of my patterns illegally too. Here is their link :

This bapron tutorial is so easy to follow and once you have all the parts at hand (making bias tape took longerthan i suspected) it takes no time at all to put together. I love this one and it'll come handy when our wee one starts on solid foods in a months time. Think i just will have to buy the selling rights from you. I love this one!
Just saw this and am excited to make some for gifts! Funny that the original is from Japan. They seem to have a lot of great ideas over there (I used to live there when I was a kid). Thank you for the pattern!
Teaching myself to sew & saw this project. Very cute so I decided to make one for my sister's baby shower. I got the bright idea to use iron on vinyl (easier to clean, you know) it made the material very stiff to work with ending up not being such a bright idea! Turned out cute in the end, definately usable. Thanks so much!
Hi, I just came back to view this tutorial again but the tutorial seems to be gone and only the pattern is left. Is there something wrong here?
hi, can i just ask why this tutorial has been taken down and i now have to BUY the pattern? + does this $6 INCLUDE the tutorial?
Hi Anonymous,
I decided to sell it because of many reasons, one of them being other people selling my pattern as their own, etc. The pattern comes with the full instructions, of course, and a larger size also.

hey there! i've tried to leave comments a couple of times with my ID signed but it doesn't seem to work so i'll have to leave an anonymous comment, sorry! my name is debbie and i'm about to purchase your gorgeous pattern (and hopefully make it this weekend!) but i just wanted your advice on what type of lining to use?
thanks! :) debs
I keep seeing promotions that the pattern is free? Im not complaining about paying for it I just keep seeing things that it says it's free, and you are the only one i can seem to find who has the pattern
I love this bib! Will the pattern be available again?
