I saw a pattern at Wal-Mart for cute aprons but they only go up to size XL I believe… I need at least a 2x or 3x size. I want to make it for an Alice costume. I’ve never sewed much before but we do have a sewing machine and I know how to use it. I’m not really sure if I need a pattern, or just draw it out myself, or how much fabric to buy ect.. Can anyone help me?

This first one is for your to look at and see if you can make yourself a pattern from that. Simplicity had a pattern but it has been discontinued. I would measure from hip bone to hip bone for the bottom of the apron and from the middle of each breast for the bib. E-mail me if I can help you any further.

The Pinafore
The pinafore, or white apron, that Alice is wearing can be made using patterns for regular kitchen aprons. A pattern that you can find in your local fabric store or online is the Mc Calls misses apron pattern, number M5358, which should fit the bill for the pinafore.
Make this apron of a white material and skip the pockets. This pattern retails for $2.99, so it is an inexpensive investment for the costume.
