    Step 1: take a bottle of washing up liquid and make an apron pattern to fit, the bottle in the picture is a smaller sized bottle. I've added the measurements to give you an idea. Take some fabric or PVC and cut your pattern out, for the trimming you can use ricrac or narrow bias binding.

    Step 2: First, hem the 2 short sides and the bottom of the apron, add bias binding to just the top of the apron. leaving a 'end ' of bias to make the tying strap, sew the bias around the curved edge, carry on machining but leave enough tape to the 'neck band' and carry on down the other side, again leaving enough tape to tie.

    Tips: why not add a pocket ?, trim with lace or curve the bottom of the apron instead of leaving it straight for a more vintage look.
