Start by cutting out shapes from scrap fabric to fill the bottom of the tea towel using rectangles and triangles to form house shapes.
Set them in place with a little stitcher tape and an iron.
Then using a simple zigzag stitch sew around and outline each shape.
Next, flip the tea towel over and turn down the corners of each side from the top.
Stitch along the folded edge with a 1/4 inch seam and trim off the excess fabric.
Add about 20 inches of twill tape at the top to create a neck strap.
Add more pieces of twill tape on the sides of the towel, to tie the apron onto the body. I used 24 inches for each side to tie a bow in the back.
You can make the ties longer if you want to tie them around the waist.
You could use a thinner fabric tape for the apron ties.
