This is a craft project for you cookers/bakers that are super pratical. You don’t want a frilly apron, but one that you can get actually use for more than just “looking pretty”. I love mine and use it all the time. The one I am wearing in this picture was made for me by my mom, the woman who brought me up to be the crafter I am.

Materials

2 Dishtowels (one larger than the other one)
Ribbon (about 3 yrds)
A metal clasp (the kind that is two metal rings)
Sewing machine

Directions

1. Take one towel and lay it horizontally. Then lay the second dishtowel in the center of the towel vertically. Sew on the edges of the towel laid vertically. Make sure that the horizonal towel is in front of the towel you are sewing on vertically.

2. Now that your towels are sewn together make a pocket by sewing a square on top of the area where the two towels overlap.

3. Attach ribbon to the sides of the horizonal towel by sewing it to the edge. Make it long enough so you can tie it around you. Attach to the ribbon to the top of the apron on either side. Sew a loop of the ribbon around the metal clasp and thread the ribbon through it. Now you have an apron you can wipe your hands on! Score.
