      I agree with you as I wear a full apron daily too. I love the above ideas but think it wouldn’t be too difficult to add a second towel for the top and two ribbons to tie behind the neck. Now I just need to find some towels! I may check out some antique shops to look for some cute vintage patterned ones. Cooking, cleaning, gardening… I wear my aprons for it all and would feel bare without one!
