My New Spring Apron - from old floral curtains, Repurpose!

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!!
