Fully Tied to the Kitchen, Full Fitted Apron Made from Gent's Neck Ties
Description
Fully Tied to the Kitchen' a fun & quirky full apron, which is fitted to suit UK ladies size 6 to 12.
Made from 8 complete men's neck ties! Totally unique & quite a talking piece & totally up-cycled, so very eco friendly too!
The men's neck ties have been cut at differing lengths & placed side by side, with the narrow ends in between, to form an elongated patchwork of coloured stripes, then hand sewn in colour matching cotton.
Fluted at the waist to bring it in over the hip area and continuing upwards over the chest area. The neck band has been made using one complete tie, which extends from the skirt, all the way up, around the neck & is securely sewn to the other side of the chest panel. All cut edges of tie have been covered with ties opened & sewn over to ensure a smooth edge.
The inside of the apron has been lined in a remnant of a bright floral vintage material, sewn to the side edges, but left loose at the bottom. Hopefully you can make this out in the photographs.
Can be machine washed on gentle cycle at 30'C & as with ties, ironed on the reverse. Ties are silk or polyester, the lining cotton.
Approximate Measurements
Total Length: 44.5 inches or 116cms.

Inspiration
Ties come is such a wonderful variety & amazing patterns, so beautiful, it seems a shame to leave them lying in the draw worn only occasionally, so decided to make something unique and wonderful to show them off to their full potential.
Modelled on my 11 yr old daughter,so was a little long for her, we remedied this by tying some ribbon around neck band tie, so that it fitted her for the photographs. This is an adult length apron, but for smaller framed women, approx UK size 6 to 12.
