Tutorial: Art smock for little artists

October 17, 2009 by Anne Weaver 2 Comments

My daughter really gets into her art projects. Literally. When she’s done with a painting, there are usually at least three smudges of paint on her arms and her clothes. So I was happy when I saw that Ashley from Make It and Love It had created a tutorial showing how to make an art smock. The bias tape edging and the ruffled pocket give it such a finished look that you could easily gift one for a child’s birthday. Go to the tutorial.
