Pin ties to apron skirt, right sides together, centering the opening of the ties with center of skirt. ( I forgot to write on the instructions that I usually make the opening about ½ more on either side for a little easier working space.) Stitch tie on to skirt with 1/2" seam allowance. Press tie up from skirt and then press a ½" seam and then fold over and press top of tie. Pin to skirt and then you can either top stitch it or hand stitch it
