Art Smocks

Here was our problem.

More paint on the child than on the paper. But we love to paint.

Here is the solution. Art smocks made of wipe-able oil cloth. Good for painting, cooking, water table play or any other messy endeavor.

Pockets to hold all of those necessary supplies...or whatever else strikes your fancy.

The clothes are looking good. Mission accomplished!

I used a shirt pattern that I had for the basic shape. The oil cloth is a bit scratchy at the edges so I bound it with bias tape. It goes over the head and ties with ribbon at the sides.
