Tea Towel Apron II
March 13th, 2008 by Jen LoveThis really cute towel screamed Apron to me and it was so easy to make!
This towel set came folded in thirds so I used the pleats to narrow this towel to better fit as an apron. I made a 2″ overlap from the pleat on the right and left and pinned the neck strap within the pleats. Then sewed across the top, securing the neck straps. Next I measured 15″ down from the top and sewed down the pleats. This left it to flair like a skirt a little at the bottom.
I tucked the ric rac ends under on the back side and sewed down the middle of the ric rac on the front. This would be such an easy way to make any color combination to match any kitchen.
I used grosgrain ribbon for the waist ties. I burned the ends slightly so that they wouldn’t fray and just sewed on the back side along the edge seam higher than where the sewn pleat ended. Super quick and easy!
This apron can be found at my shop in black and red.

I just wanted to let you know that your blog takes a really long time to come up compared to other blogs and then I get a message that a script is busy. I have to stop the script and then it continues to load for a little while after that. I just thought you would want to know. I don’t know what any of it means but hopefully you know and can figure something out. It happens on every page.
