Stringless Aprons - Anyone Know How To Make Them?
A couple of years ago someone on the Secret Pal Swap sent me the most wonderful stringless apron. I can't find a photo of it nor can I find the directions she so kindly sent me. Worse yet, I don't recall who it was!
It consisted of a "body" perhaps the size of a kitchen towel and it had a band across the top and a loop to go around the neck. The beauty of it was that it fits virtually anyone -- from the tiniest Slenderella to the fluffiest Rubanesque gal.
Would anyone happen to have the measurements? I really want to make some for our church cookie baking volunteers for Christmas -- and if I have enough toweling left over, I think they would be nice Christmas "bibs" for the nursing home.

This is the one I had in mind also. I've seen many at church and volunteer functions wearing this style apron.

Krystyna, go to www.etsy.com and type, " no tie apron patterns" and see if any of those are what you're looking for.

Looked at Etsy and yes they have the no tie aprons, but I would just want the pattern not for them to cook me a whole meal. $28 for a pattern, vintage or not, is out there. Plus the 50s are when I was in high school so I don't consider that vintage, just a little older.

This seller has several versions of this smock style that has no ties:

Seems like it would be fairly easy to make this with a couple of towels; would just need perhaps a commercial pattern that included the banding part. However, it doesn't meet the OP's criteria of a loop to go around the neck.
Maybe this one? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1210172...w_type=gallery
