Technically this stringless apron does have a string -- the neck loop.
I cut a strip 3" wide x 30" long. That was too long.
What was I thinking? 24" was better ... experiment.
Sew right sides together and turn inside out.
(While struggling with a safety pin to turn the tube, I kept thinking about my darling hubby who held up a tube turner and said, "Look! 85% off!" To which I replied, "What would I use that for? Ha!")

Tuck the ends in to be tidy and top stitch.

Attach to the edge of the bib on the front side ending about half way down the bib.

Hand stitch on a cute button. I didn't have anything cute on hand, so these had to do. But have fun.

Back to the neck loop. If you made it too long, like I did, figure out how long you want it to be and snip off the extra. Tuck one end into the other and top stitch.

Extra ideas:
Decorate the bib with quilting using metallic thread.
Add some rick rack or fancy braiding to embellish.
Most importantly, have fun and don't sweat the measurements.
