Dish Towel Apron

Here are the steps on how to make a really quick and easy apron from a dish towel…

1. Iron the dish towel. Fold down the corners so that you have the top of your apron. Pin down the corners and hold it up to see if the size is right.

2. When you have it just the way you want it, press the corners down. Then sew them with a 1/4” seam allowance from the folded edge.

3. Cut off the excess material from the flaps about 1/4” from the seam. Use pinking shears if you have them.

You can do it to the back or to the front of the apron. Again, be sure to go back and forth a few times to secure it well.

6. Embellishments are next… If you want to, you can attach pockets, ribbon, ric-rack, buttons, whatever you would like. Or you can do nothing at all.
