Step 5Neck Strap
Once the top support is in place you can move on to affixing the neck strap. Make sure you test the length of the neck strap before you sew it on; It should fit over your head when attached to the apron.
Choose which side will be the backside of your apron and sew the neck strap on at a slight angle so that the ends point a little towards the outer edges of the top support. If you sew the neck strap on straight up and down the top of the apron will bunch in the middle when you wear it. The pictures show me sewing the neck strap on straight up and down, and as a result, my apron bunches a little in the middle.
If you are worried about the neck strap edges fraying, you might want to do an edging stitch. This stitch is like the regular front-back over the edge stitch, except you thread the needle through the loop before pulling it taught. See the attached photos for clarification.
