This is part one of Kade’s Christmas present. Thanks to the fact that a 17 month old will still be surprised Christmas morning despite the fact that he’s already seen his present, I figured I’d give you a preview. I wanted to give Kade a smock (because aprons are for girls
) to protect his clothes as he’s getting more and more interested in art projects and helping mom cook. I found this adorable pattern on The May Fly blog and adapted it a bit to fit Kade.
I added some length so hopefully it will fit for a little longer. The pattern is made so that it can tie at the shoulders, but I think I may end up adding velcro or buttons to give him more room in the arms. I love that it’s reversible; one side for art, the other for cooking. And despite the fact that Kyle says it looks like a dress, I’m hoping he’ll get a lot of use out of it.
