economy size cartons can be simply
converted into these practical and

towels. Stitch together lengthwise. Cut
one border irom each of two additional
towels. To form the bib section oi the
apron, measure in 10" and down 8" Irom
the border side of one of the towels. Cut
curve.
2) Form the body of the apron by sew-
ing the long length to the two towels
already Joined. To make pocket, put right
side oi remaining towel against the wrong
side oi the bottom of apron. Seam. Turn
towel back up with border showing.
Divide pocket with 4" stitching across
center.
3) Sew two cut-off borders flat along
either side oi the apron to hold the pock-
ets and finish sides.
