My sister received this cool Big Pineapple tea-towel for christmas from her step-mother-in-law.
I was supposed to make her an apron months and months ago, so I suggested that we turn the tea-towel into an apron so that she can use it.
It's actually the perfect size for an apron.... I just added some spotty fabric (thanks Cathy) at the sides to make it a bit wider, shaped the top, and then trimmed it all with bias tape before adding some straps. It fits her perfectly!

That is one very cool Apron. I think you had better make some of those for market.
What a fabulous idea, this is the sort of crafting story I love reading about.
Brilliant idea! Looks fabulous. The Big Pineapple is about a half-hour drive from home. (haven't been there for years though).
I like it!!!!
Great repurpose Cam! Love a teatowel repurpose...!
That looks fantastic! couldn't think of a better way to re-purpose a big pineapple teatowel :)
Wow you are so good! and creative. If only I had the brain space to be adventureous!
What a great idea... why didn't I think of that!!??!!! I have a historical family teatowel (from a big family reunion a few years ago) that I feel is too good to use to wipe dishes with... maybe an apron would be more fitting! You are so clever!
Excellent!!! (And the spot fabric is a perfect match for the green in the print!!). Lovin' it.
I love your apron, very cooL!
Nice one! Fab tea towel and fab idea to turn it into an apron. Love it!

That's so cool!!! What a great idea!!!
Fantastic! What a great way to make the most of the tea towel. Looks great.
That looks brilliant!
It goes really well with the polka dot fabric. If that was my tea towel I certainly wouldn't have wanted to just wipe dishes with it.
Very cool! Love this, and now it'll be used - well done, great idea!
Happy New Year!
oh wow you are a mind reader. I keep getting teatowels from my mum and theyre so expensive I just cannot use them on dishes. I started tinkering with my 2009 topics and one was on refashioning cool tea towels. This is something I am definately going to have a go at.
Cheers
That looks so awesome! :) I think I may have to do the same to some of my retro teatowels.
I've been to see the "big pineapple" on my only trip to Oz, about 6 years ago - boy does time fly!
Cool! I sent someone a t-towel and she likes it so much she doesn't want to use it for dishes! I will suggest an apron to her! x
Wow, I have this same tea towel! I will never look at it the same way now.
