Denim Skirt Apron

Here is another Apron~ology inspired Apron.. It started as a large denim skirt with an elastic waistband.. Isn't the paisley print adorable? The pink check was a curtain panel.. I think the pink makes a nice contrast with the blue denim.. and it was soo much fun to make the box pleated ruffle and the cutest pockets in the whole world..lol.. I have found that using a pencil to turn these pockets inside out really saves me alot of time and suffering.. As long as I'm carefull and don't poke a hole in the fabric.. I can hardly wait to visit the thrift store to see what else I might find to make an apron out of .. Ya just never know.. Happy apron makin'..

Vintage pillowcase Apron..

Ok, I must say that since browing thru the new Apron~ology magazine I have come to look at aprons in a new and different way.. Making treasured pieces like this vintage pillowcase I have had for years and just could not throw it away, into a new treasure..  It was discoloured and torn, but still very lovely to me.. So, I was inspired to cut the end with the most embroidery on it, and use it in a new apron.. The pink dot was the perfect match.. Even had enough of the pillowcase to cut out the cutest poctets ever...And then finished it all off with a ruffle of tulle.. Like it? I Love it! Ooohh! This apron makes me feel all dressed up.. I think my MoMo would love it too.. Hope ya'll enjoyed this first installment of my Apron~ology series..lol... This one was soo much fun to make, there's surely more to come.. (wink)  Happy sewing..
