Some creative household items to use on your apron include:
• His tie
• Ribbons
• Buttons
• Lace
• Patches
• Pillow cases (large pocket!)
• Hair accessories

The dilemma: With aprons this cute…you won’t want to get anything on them!
Things to consider when cutting your fabric:
• How long the apron should be (do you want your pants completely covered?)
• How far you want the apron to wrap around your body (consider what activities the apron will be used for)
• Adjustable or non-adjustable neck? Closure options include a d-ring, Velcro, simple tie or button
• Pro-tip: A tie just under the bust area is slimming. You are welcome.
