If you thought only chefs in the kitchen wear aprons, then you stand to be corrected. It was when I first made the diy chicken sweaters, when I first realized that my girls enjoy having their own garments. Then I ran into these diy aprons for chickens, I knew that they will absolutely love them so I made them some.
Also sometimes known as hen saddles, these chicken accessories can be very useful. Besides their obvious fashion statement, they actually help protect their backs from injury or having their feathers plucked out. They are easy to make and look just like bibs when you put them on your girls. Feel free to make them in different colors, and perhaps even give them away as gifts.

Here’s What You’ll Need:
- fabric or fat quarters
- batting or fusible fleece
- 1/4″-wide elastic
- rick-rack or other trims (optional)
- scissors
- sewing machine
The free pattern for cutting your fabric, is available. Use it to guide you to cut all the required fabric pieces. When using trim, make sure that you apply it before you go ahead an stitch the fabric together. The wide elastic as well as all the other stitching will then be used to hold everything together to make these cute little aprons! 🙂
