Two Dishtowel Apron

This is the "two dishtowel apron" we will be making for enrichment. I will make a tutorial soon, it has two pockets and is pretty thick. You need fairly large dishtowel, I found these at target, and approx 2 or 3 yards of ribbon, Thanks Mel for modeling.
I kinda made this up or I would give the credit to whomever else did. I am sure its been done before though.

Tea towel Apron tutorial

First, find a cute tea towel. I found this cute 4th of July one at Roberts for about a $1, then you will need about 1/4 yard of coordinating fabric.














then measure it into thirds, make two triangular tucks on each of the 1/3 marks.

Cut your coordinating fabric into approx 6 inch, strips, sew 2 of the strips end to end. It will be about 90 inches long (plenty long enough to wrap around your waist, I like to tie it in front). Iron it like I have in the picture.
















find the middle of the strip of fabric and pin the apron in it, then fold the fabric over and sew the strip closed.

TADA!!! If you have more of the strip of fabric you could sew a pocket or another strip onto the bottom using the same process above. I am too lazy.

More Aprons

Here is an idea.
I put together a little cookie baking set (you could probably just get some stuff at the $1 store) and give your girl an apron to go with it. We have given this as birthday gifts to one of her friends as well.


This apron is just for an idea, I helped my daughter sew it, it was an experiment, and its not perfect but she loves it, and she loves it when we can recycle old clothes too.

This is a mens apron, I have a ton of this fabric if I use this fabric,

This is my first apron with this pattern. I love the Heather Bailey Fabric line
