Tutorial: Halloween apron for an 18″ doll

Melissa Mortenson from Fourteen May and Polka Dot Chair shares a tutorial showing how to make a Halloween apron for an 18″ doll. It’s a full apron with a bat applique on the bib and a pocket on a gathered skirt. Ribbon makes the neck and waist straps. It’s cute for a Halloween giftie for a child. Or, leave off the bat and you can make it for year-round doll wear. Go to Polka Dot Chair for the how-to.
