I made this quick little apron for a friend's birthday. It's based on a super easy tea towel apron pattern. If you have a tea towel, you just add two pleats and waist ties. I didn't have a tea towel on hand to use for this purpose, so I finished the edges of a rectangular piece of fabric roughly the size of a tea towel (around 20"x28"), then add the pleats, ties and some ribbon for fun. I can't say I'm a fan of trying to sew to strips of ribbon parallel to each other. I'll have to remember that when ideas pop into my head for K*.
The fabric is fantasia for red rooster fabrics. It's one I had in my stash that I picked up on clearance at It's A Stitch last year. The colors are a little more vibrant than the picture shows. The ribbon color is lemon grass and the waist ties are made from 1" white twill tape. I used about 2 1/2 yards of twill tape, I think.
I don't know if others like to wear aprons too, or if I'm just weird.
