Getting my apron with Triceratops & plushed with Flathead!

Please enjoy!

I made this apron for my son who likes helping with the baking of sweets!

The blue fabric was a bit thin, so I made it double ply, and I chose white buttons to match the Triceratops' spots.

I really love it. I tried it on, but it was absolutely too small and I felt a bit silly... I want one for myself now!

I measured his chest, then doubled it for the waist down area and measured how long I wanted it to be. I had to make the ties and neck piece myself, but you could use ribbon or other such stuff if you wanted to. I added buttons (my first time using the button function on my sewing machine, yeah!) because I think my son has a big head and it will aid wearing it as he grows bigger. Then I ironed on the Triceratops decal.

Here is a fish plushie I made for my partner (his request). It is an Eastern Bluespotted Flathead, found in Australian waters:

The spots took a while to add, some fleece, some embroidered. More photos and info about him can be found here at my journal!

Thanks for looking!
