This apron is made from a tea towel. I embroidered the Freedom Ring from Embroidery Central. It was an easy apron to make and also the applique design was simple.

Karen, this is stunning - where did you find this tea towel - it is nice! Great job with sewing this apron, so is the bell applique? Wonderful work. *4U

Thanks Shirlene, I bought the tea towel at the Cotton Shop in Provo, but I'm sure the ones in Murray or Sandy have them. Just trim the sides and add bias tape.
OH - so you live close to Provo - I live close to Ogden - I don't know if there is a Cotton Shop around here - I will look around. Thanks!
Actually I live about 2 1/2 hours from Provo. I just was visiting there.
OH - I see - so you do live in the Roosevelt area - right?
yes

Very nice. Does it fit a child or adult?

Both. When I first saw one I didn't think it would.It isn't a large apron but does fit for an adult and probably a child 7 or older, just make the loop around the neck smaller.
Thanks.

Great idea to use a tea towel in this way. The result is super! Nice for the kids, but I don't think they make tea towels big enough to fit me.

Thanks, I was surprised that a towel would make an apron that would fit an adult.

good idea to use a towel, so the towel and the apron can match together!!

Very Nice GP. One day I will catch up to all you are doing. In the meantime I am gone again. Maybe I am "forever gone". But then I guess we knew that already.

How about a loop at the waist of the Apron to hang a tea towel from for hand drying. Just another little twist to the origional idea. It is a great idea though. I will probably steal it.
Thank you. Time to get everyone settled so you can embroider. Drive safely.

It's not really big, but big enough to keep the front of you clean.

That is so cute. I have a large stash of tea towels so I should try an apron. I think I buy a dozen every time I go to the Cotton Shop.

Thanks. You need two of each print so you can do a tea towel to hang and an apron to wear. Have fun. Post some of your creations.
