For today’s project, let’s make a little apron for Curvy Barbie! My regular followers will notice that this apron project has been available on my website under other categories, but this is the first time I’ve posted this apron project for Curvy dolls.

In my “day job,” I’m a school librarian. This apron is actually worn by my Chelly Wood, whenever I’m making videos or taking photos for my library-related activities.

But today I’m having fun using my Canva account to imagine a Curvy Barbie in her kitchen at home, and she’s wearing this cute little pink checkerboard apron with three front pockets.

A Kira-headed Curvy Barbie stands on a shiny floor in the middle of her all-modern black and gun-metal grey kitchen. She models her handmade clothes. She wears a pink apron over handmade tee shirt and skirt. The apron is the key feature in the photo. It's made of dusty rose (pink) fabric in a checkerboard print, with solid pink pockets, and it's trimmed in black ribbon. Under this she wears a white t-shirt and a white skirt with multi-colored floral printed cotton fabric. She wears white plastic sneakers. The apron she wears coordinates nicely with the black and grey kitchen color scheme. The apron also displays the old Chelly Wood dot com logo with gold words on a white background.

Which kitchen setting do you like best? Can you see her in the black and grey kitchen, whipping up a batch of chocolate chip cookies?

Or do you like her in the all white kitchen? Perhaps she’s showing us how to prepare a vegetarian stir-fry dish.

I sort of like the pastel blue and white kitchen at the top of the page. That kitchen is big enough, I can imagine her filming her own cooking show with a small film crew!

Here we see a Kira head on a Curvy Barbie body. The doll models a handmade apron with three pockets in front, made of pink solid and pink checkerboard fabric. The front of the apron has the old Chelly Wood dot com logo emblazoned across the bust and framed with black ribbon.
