Reader Emily from The Pickled Weasel sent me this great project for a tea towel apron. At this point, we've done a few tea towel apron patterns, so you know this one must be special to be featured! And it is definitely special! I love the technique used for making this pretty and practical apron. See below for a photo of the unique way this apron is assembled (it creates useful pockets!). This is a great idea for your handmade holiday gifting. [click here for the tea towel apron tutorial]

    My grandma used to make towels with aprons like this! She would make little ones for us kids too. Such a great idea I’m glad you posted it!

    This is perfect, especially for me this time of year! I have around 300 cookies to bake and my son and I always do them. This is a perfect idea I can make and use the adult and kid style aprons. THANKS Bunches!

    I made one last night! It turned out cute. I used red plaid towels I found at the dollar store. My mom has been asking for an apron, so I’ll be giving this one to her! Great idea- thanks!
