My new Spring apron |
My weekend project!
Aprons make my ♥heart smile.
They make me feel as though
I've stepped back in time to an
era of innocence & purity...
and considering I'm a really
messy cook might have factored
in a bit too!
My New Spring Apron from old floral curtains! |
I found these old floral curtains
in my material stash, I believe
they hung in my daughter's room
for a short time when she was little.
(well before her, "everything need's to be black" phase!)
Why not!
I wasn't going shopping for some time
and I wanted to make my apron now!
Floral, Spring...makes sense!
I used my current apron as a pattern,
cutting the fabric just a tad larger for
the seam allowance.
I cut four strips of fabric, folded the edges to the inside and top-stitched. |
apron strings! |
I forgot how much fun sewing could be!
I cut my fabric, keeping the bottom hem of the curtain as my bottom hem! |
This apron came together in about 2 hours!
I won't win any sewing contests but I was
thrilled with the result!
I now feel fashionably equipped to make my
first spring-themed meal!
Bonus: with the sewing machine set out,
my daughter is starting on her 2nd quilt now!
I was inspired to make my apron
when I saw the aprons Nana & Pam
made @ 2 Creative Chicks!
thanks ladies!!

Love your apron and it reminds me that I too have some old curtains that could be used in this way. Now I just need to find time :-) TFS
