Quick and Fun Apron Made from Two Dish Towels

Step 4 Top of Apron

Picture 1 shows you how the top of the apron looks after all the following steps are completed.

Now sew your trim across the top of the center apron panels shown in Picture2

Next, fold down the corners of your apron (to the wrong side) three inches as shown in Picture 3. Take your neck ribbon and insert it into the corner until the raw edge is covered over by the corner flap. See picture 4. Start sewing the flap down by stitching over the trim stitching (backstitch at the start), when you come to the point, pivot and stitch to the edge and then backstitch a couple of stitches. Repeat for the other side.

To secure the neck ribbon, top stitch over the trim stitching, backstitching a couple of stitches at the beginning and end. Repeat for other side. Picture 5.

If you added longer ribbons for ties, finish the ends just like you did for the sash ties.

I added a snap to the neck loop because I felt the apron hung too low, Picture6. If you need to shorten it you could do the same, or take a little tuck in the ribbon. If you use the snap, just follow the directions on the snap package.

At this point you can add the button trim to the corners. Picture 7.
