The Calico Cat has a bunch of really really cute apron patterns, one of which (the 1940s) has a child's version. The ones we have were made by a friend from a Folkwear child's prairie dress pattern, but that's a fairly elaborate one. There's also a pinafore pattern in the child-sized Mary Frances patterns that Josie and I have; we haven't made it yet, but maybe now's a good time.

I'm sitting here in my work apron. Geez, I want to throw this thing out! It's just icky. I've got a "panel" apron--one of those printed-out ones you just sew up--with chickens all over it that I really really need to make up. It came with matching potholder pieces! bawk!
