How to make an apron out of cotton doilies.
Sometimes I get crazy ideas. When I tell people about my crazy ideas, they look at me like I’m, well, cRaZy! This was one of those projects. I somehow got it into my head that I was going to make an apron out of doilies. The naysayers thought I was nuts, but I plowed ahead. And guess what? I LOVE how it turned out! My doily apron is girly and vintage and… totally impractical. I mean, you are still going to get flour on your dress in this apron. BUT you’ll look pretty doing it!
- 12 or 13 Cotton Doilies – 12 inch size
- White Thread
- White Grossgrain Ribbon
Then sew the straps down. I sewed them in two places for extra strength.

Just came across this on Pinterest and LOVE it. I have made aprons out of embroidered doilies and tablecloths. I have made table runners out of crocheted doilies. Now to marry the two and make an apron out of crocheted doilies. You could always line it with some light fabric to stop the ingredients getting through but that might detract from the look. Certainly something for me to try.
