Stupid question, but need help

if you can't find someone to tie it for you, just practice whenever you have a chance... that's the only way you'll really get it down pat. it's not hard once you get in the habit of doing it (basic muscle memory stuff).

maybe if you tried tying your shoes with your eyes shut. that might give you some idea of how to feel your way around the knot. you might also work on tying the apron without having it on.

the only other thing i can think of is, depending on how the apron is made, you could perhaps tie it in front (put it on backwards) and turn it around after the knot's made. or get longer strings so you can pull them around from back to front and tie it in front (so the strings would be like a belt).

Just like EJ said. I worked as waiter and bartender here in New York which obviously am required to wear an apron. So the strings for the apron was pretty long that let tie around my waist and back to the front. Then its easy, you tie it underneath the apron so no one can how badly you tied that not.

Just tie your shoe laces until your hands fall off... then tying that apron would be a breeze.

but if his hands fall off, how will he tie the apron?

i'm going to third the "tie it in front of you" option. that's how I always wear my apron.

and yeah, don't be afraid to ask someone to do it for you. most people aren't assholes and don't mind doing favors

Tie it in front (so the strings would be like a belt).

This was how I worked when I wore an apron.

The simplest way is a double overhand knot, that is tie a simple overhand, and then tie another behind it. Don't pull it too tight, because it will be a pain in the A$$ to remove otherwise!

As I recall, most aprons are simply looped over the head and then have a tie, so why not just put it on twist it some, tie and twist it back behind you? I've never seen an apron that has to be tied tight to the body, your allowed breathing room after all so twisting it around to tie is perfectly fine.

Hi Seamus, I have to go with EJfan on this, practise makes perfect. Tying at the front and then twisting it round IS one answer, but just like tying a bow in shoelaces the first time seems like an impossible contortion so does tying a bow behind your back.
Don't expect to get to work with 2 minutes to go and get a perfect bow behind your back, go in early, put the apron on and parctise tying it behind your back. Done it right? Great, now undo it and do it again, and again.
