Baby’s bath time can get a parent just as wet as baby. A terry cloth apron like this one can help keep mom or dad dry when they give baby a bath. Mary Beth from Retro Monkeys shares a vintage pamphlet at the Pattern Patter blog for making one. The project comes from The New Encyclopedia of Modern Sewing (1943). And though it’s meant for new parents, I can see many other uses for an absorbent apron. It could be useful in the kitchen or the art studio, too.

No babies for me anymore. Perhaps for washing the cat like someone else suggested.
