Thank You so much for stopping by! You're probably expecting to see no-sew apron I did!
You can find it, by clicking here. It will take you to my blog that is now on Wordpress.
Sorry about that but you'll find a lot more cool ideas on the new & improved Parties for Pennies page!
What a neat idea! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBuy letter stencils.. trace your M on a piece of fabric and glue the M in :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Anon! I like that better than the embroidery.
ReplyDeleteHey wat a neat Apron! Well done! Loved it!

Our family is having a reunion and I think this would be a great idea and gift for all the cooks.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! Thanks for the idea. I've been looking for a cheap way to make an apron.
ReplyDeleteDollar Tree has $1 kitchen towels that would work and not have the static in them (kind of a linen/cotton fabric). LOVE the ribbon!
ReplyDeleteBe careful with some of the $store towels, bought a couple to do w/magnets on them for my daughters and they shrunk and squished up really small. They appeared to be like the ones I have that don't squish up and need to be ironed ... they are okay for just drying dishes on but wouldn't work for apron unless you love to iron. :-(
ReplyDeleteI love the idea though, using a towel, I'm always drying my hands on the aprons anyway.Thanks
Thanks for the wonderful idea. My daughter and many of her friends are really into aprons right now. These will make great stocking stuffers for them. I am going to add pockets to mine and a ruffle trim. Reminds me of the "Leave it to Beaver" days; which these mid-20 young women seem to be very into (the look anyway) Now.........where are my pearls?
ReplyDeletehey kids, aprons are the in thing this year. and don't forget the men!!!!!!. make them grilling aprons for fathers day. write something
ReplyDeletehot on it like, smokin' hot and seasoned to perfection. use fabric paint or iron on letters, you can find them at joann fabrics.
Love it....I think even I can do this...Got a sewing machine for Christmas..lol I don't know how to sew...but I'm so wanting to..my sister has been bugging me to make her a apron...well...I think I can now :) Thanks so much

Cute apron....fabric stores such as Jo Ann's has iron on lettering that can be used for initials.
ReplyDeletefor one letter you could go to the local sports shop, they do all those t-shirts sew names and numbers on shirts, my husband always goes there to have his name tags made on the cheap!
ReplyDeletelove your idea and am going to show my gdaughter this no sew project!
Hobby Lobby has a whole line of letters as does Joanns , Holiday towels work well too
ReplyDeleteThank you! <3 Heidi Rew
DeleteSo cute! Looks like the family will be getting aprons for christmas!!! I might try washing my towels first to shrink them then sew. Maybe that will help. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea (to wash the towels first)! Hope you have fun making them & your family enjoys their aprons! Thanks so much for stopping by! (btw...Parties for Pennies is now a ".com" :-) - www.PartiesforPennies.com) <3 Heidi Rew
DeleteJust joined this website and love it.
ReplyDeleteApron is cute and I am going to try it but I am going to put a few tucks in it (I will sew rather than glue, but I am sure you could glue the tucks as well) to make it a little more feminine. Thanks for the idea.
Have just come across your page from the AllFreeSewing newsletter and I just love this apron. I already have some of the microfibre t-towels that I got from a Poundstore (I'm across the pond in the UK) and, being a crafter, I have tons of ribbon so will whip up a few of these for Xmas gifts x Thank you x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - I am always looking for a towel to wipe my hands on when cooking! I agree - I think a regular towel would be better - and I think it will look nice with just a little gathering on the edge with the band... Might help a little with the cling of a microfiber towel.
ReplyDeleteJust thought I add my two cents....If you have a cricut, cut out the letter M then place it on a piece of material then use that paper that has "glue" on the other side, and iron it on the back of the letter M then peel off and iron the letter right on your apron. your done!
ReplyDeleteLike your apron, it's very cute...think I'll make one for my daughter with her initial.

You could buy two towels at the same time and have matching towel an apron.Like your idea also.
