    What a nice idea. Are aprons coming back into popularity again? I used pretty hand towels to make "bib's for my mom when she was in a nursing home. Worked great.

    What a neat idea. I really like both aprons. I'll have to try that. I'm always laying my kitchen towel down and then not be able to find it. Do you mind telling what size you cut the "bib" part of the apron?

    What a good idea. I'm always looking for new apron ideas and this one is a winner.

    I made one of these for a friend who was pregnant. I heard that you use this to wrap the baby in after giving them a bath. That way you don't go searching for the towel with a wet, cold baby. You can't loose it if it's tied around your neck. It would be good in the kitchen too. I remember grandma using the end of the apron as a potholder. Never could understand how one layer of cotton kept her from getting burnt.

    Love the Idea of the towel, for the size just adjust according to size of towel and shorten or lengthen Thanks for sharing.
