The apron pattern could be adjusted to look like the one you have for a toddler. It looks very doable :)

Me too. I had this pattern a couple of years thinking I would do it. Finally gave it away, so I can't answer your question.

This one that DebraK posted has the short top in it. There are 2 different styles. A is the short one and B is the long apron. good luck. crafty_linda_b

I think it would be to lowcut under the arms to work as a top.
Look at the pattern and you see that the sides are cut almost to the waist.

Hmmmm

Maybe I will make one apron, and then start playing with the pattern to adjust it.
