Having a niece is SO MUCH FUN! I struggle to think of things to make for my boys, but I can always find things to make for my niece. She has no idea how much I appreciate having her to make things for.
Her next package in the mail from me will be this little half apron, made from the leftovers of that pillowcase when I made the Creamsicle quilt top.

I looked up a bunch of patterns and tutorials online, but none were exactly what I wanted, so here's my version. I love the pleat in the middle - makes it kind of flirty and feminine, don't you think?

And you know I have lots of thrift store pillowcases, right? I used two coordinating ones to make two more half aprons - a "Mommy and Me" set. I love my boys, but I think I'd have loved having a girl, too!
