Adjustable Aprons in Daily Linen
Not too light and not too heavy, our new Daily Linen is just the right weight for an apron. It also happens to come in a palette of colors that looks perfectly at home in the kitchen!
We turned to two of our favorite apron patterns to transform this lovely fabric into a sweet set for the whole family. For adults, our Adjustable Apron has a straightforward construction, and it fits almost any body because of its nifty adjustable neck and tie.
And our Kid’s Ric Rac Apron is the same basic design, just a little smaller. This time around we omitted the ric rac, which makes it even easier to sew.
These Adjustable Aprons in Daily Linen are so polished and professional that wearing them makes us feel impervious to failure in the kitchen. Soufflés don’t fall, lasagnas don’t burn, and pies don’t leak… most of the time! -Molly

Perfect timing- looking for an easy apron to make for my grandkids.
What is the finished size of this apron? I made a version using the 1 1/4 yds. and it seems quite long, even though I’m 5’8”. Did I miss a step?
Hi Barb,
Thanks for reaching out. While we don’t list the dimensions of the apron on this post, you can get a sense from a diagram in the “Marking and Cutting” section on our previous version. The full length of the apron is approximately 37 inches from top to bottom, and it’s approximately 26 inches wide across the widest point! The reason that this may seem a bit long is because the apron was designed to fit people up to 6′ tall. I hope this helps clear things up!
All the best,
Lili
