Children Apron 可爱卡通围裙

I have been meaning to make this for a while ~ an apron for my son. I have apron for both my children. Those aprons were bought from store before I'm into sewing. My children would wear them when they are helping out (or rather playing) in the kitchen. My little helpers can do simple tasks like washing the rice & vegetables, cutting vegetable, cooking noodles & oatmeal, cleaning the dishes etc. While it's fun having them in the kitchen, where we chat and discuss on the meal that we are preparing, it's challenging at the same time. Why? The work goes more slowly and less get done than if I would do it alone. Well, patience is the key with little helpers in the kitchen. I constantly remind myself to relax and enjoy the company. 

My son's apron which we bought a few years back is wearing out. So the project for this time is an apron. I have several cartoon prints fabric in my collection, I asked my boy to choose. He picked the "Toy Story" fabric. It's a green background fabric with characters in "Toy Story" movie printed all over. To make the piece more vibrant, I matched it with orange checked fabric. The orange does go nicely with the green.

After I cut out the fabric, only then I realised that the fabric is kind of too thin to fall nicely. So I lined it with a brown checked fabric.

Here it is, a new apron for my son.

今天的作品就是为儿子缝制一件新的围裙。

孩子们都很喜欢在出厨房内帮忙。帮忙洗米，洗菜，洗碗碟，切菜以及煮面，麦片等等。对他们来说，与其说是帮忙，趁机玩乐应该会更贴切一些。对于我们来说，越帮越忙会更加的反映出我们做父母的心声。。。哈哈哈。。。。

无论如何，我都是很享受跟孩子们一起在厨房内一起讨论午餐/晚餐的菜单，一起准备食材的美好时光。我相信这些欢乐的回忆是千金难买的。虽然多了小帮手的热心协助会拖慢我准备食物的节奏，拉长烹饪的时间，以及会多了很多需要处理的事项，但是很坦白的，我很享受，很乐意有他们的陪伴。

儿子之前用着的围裙已经相当的破旧了，是时候帮他换件新的围裙了。挑剔的他就在我的收藏品中选了这个有著名动画片“Toy Story”主角的布料来做他的围裙。

接下来的欢乐时光就让这个可爱的卡通围裙来陪伴我们吧。。。。。
