No. 1. How to make a bottle apron

This may seem simple, but as I said I am returning to sewing and starting at basics.  This means the patterns may be simple but you may like my ideas and want to adapt for your own.

The Bottle Apron.
First
Cut out the shape you want your apron, (long, short, curved top, heart shaped top, etc)
*
Put front side together, sew from bottom right around to bottom left, this leaves the bottom open.
*
Turn the outside in and iron.
*
Fold in the bottom edges and iron flat.
*
Use a pretty stitch to sew along the bottom edge
*
Then measure and cut your tie.
*
Pin into position and sew carefully along the edge.
*
Trim all the cottons to neaten up
*
Iron flat
*
Tie onto a wine bottle, washing up bottle, toilet duck/bleach bottle, soap dispenser.
The best part is not only does this look quirky but it is washable and can be made to fit anything you want to hide.
