Simple dishtowel apron pattern; very good "sorry pal, been missing ya" kind of project to keep the sewing machine from feeling lonely.  You know, because it has feelings.

I clicked on this Martha pattern long ago while clicking around at Tie One On, and thought it seemed like a good sturdy choice.  Dishtowels from Target; one in the pack had a nice waffle texture for the bottom part of the apron, good for damp hands.
