Celebrate the warmth, wonder, and home-baked magic of the Christmas season with this Retro Christmas Apron—an In the Hoop machine embroidery design that blends nostalgic charm with modern stitching ease. This classic holiday apron pays homage to the well-loved kitchen traditions that bring families closer, from cookie baking to cocoa sipping, and makes an unforgettable gift for anyone who treasures a cozy Christmas kitchen. It’s also a darling gift for a bride beginning her own holiday traditions—bonus points if you tuck in a strand of pearls and a pair of heels to complete her retro debut!

This apron joins the beloved Cookies for Santa design collection, featuring coordinating pieces such as the matching mugrug, oven mitts, and table mat/bowl cover. Each design nods sweetly to the cookie cutters of yesteryear—star, snowman, and Christmas tree—echoing the treasured tools passed down through generations.

The apron bib is created in three embroidered panels:

Flap: Features the classic retro Christmas tree cookie cutter framed by the line “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night” with holly leaves and berries.

Upper Bib: Crosshatched background with the same beloved quote, accented by a center holly sprig and red detailing.

Lower Bib: Candy-cane stripes and holly sprigs down the center, with rick rack added right in the hoop for a perfect vintage flourish.

Fully lined and sturdy, the apron is completed partially In the Hoop, with the bib sections and pockets stitched entirely ITH. The skirt, waistband, and ties are added afterward on your sewing machine. Only one bit of hand sewing remains—attaching the pocket buttons. Clear, step-by-step photo instructions, fabric templates, and technique tutorials ensure your stitch-out is smooth, enjoyable, and beautifully finished.
