Easy On Apron

In all of my apron making experience (I have made one) I can say that the ties are the hardest part. This apron from Martha Stewart not only solves that problem by replacing the ties with cotton twill tape like this:

which makes it cute like this:

but also makes it easy to slip on and off. You slide it over your head and then pull it tight as you tie. Kinda cool. I think I am going to take the ties off of the one apron I have made and replace it with cotton twill tape.

You can find the directions here.

  1. this is such a great idea. i've only attempted to make a half apron, but the ties were the hardest part. i might see how one would do with this technique. thanks for sharing!

  4. We have a kids Pampered Chef apron and it works like that. Except the strap is inside a pocket seam.

    Thanks for an easy solution to an existing apron. Our painting aprons are terrible. I'll try this on them.

  9. I have a couple adjustable aprons I picked up from IKEA and love them. I tried to recreate it but had problems with the part that martha resolved w/ the twill loops. Thanks for posting b/c I need more full aprons. The cafe aprons are useless for me b/c I spill stuff on my shirt!
