I sewed another apron

Oh my goodness, what a grand idea to recycle a skirt into an apron!! That is gorgeous..almost too pretty to spill or soil with cooking! Ha! I am amazed, I would never have thought of turning a little used skirt into an apron. That tells you something about my creativity...I was behind the door when God was handing out creativity. Kudos to you!

What an excellent idea! I would never have thought about using old skirts or dresses to make an apron out of. Oh boy! I am off to check my closets! I did once make a apron out of an old pair of over-alls. I did it for my daughter who had a "paint" project to do at school. I had not given any more thought to recycling old clothes since then. I did try the cutting them up to make quilt squares, and then decided I was not talented enough for quilting,so some of the squares I crocheted a border around and used them as dollies..lol

It is good of you to be sewing your own aprons. I can see that you love to sew. I used to be doing some sewing too, until my eyes had gone bad. Now, there are times when I want to do some mending of torn clothes but usually I find some difficulty doing so. Good luck in all your sewing activities.

i too love to make aprons and they are quite easy to make . the first i ever made was when i did my fashion designing. i t had patch work on it. its very beautiful , i have made one of a my un used upper. it looked good and nobody could make out what i have done .

i do like the apron you made we loved aprons so math ,that we are collecting aprons. we have over 120 aprons , handmade and fabric, but we are not sewing

i have never tried to sew an apron before but it sounds like it would be a fun thing to try sewing i just have no use for an apron for i am not a cook my sister would probably like it though because she loves cooking i never would have thought about using an old skirt as part of an apron that is a good idea i used to have alot of old skirts that i out grew that i had to give away i wish i had though of making something else out of it

Great idea to recycle your old clothing and making something practical from the material. I know people that will cut old clothing into squares for a quilt. I tried doing that, but realized quickly that quilting is not for me.

Isn't it wonderful when we have a goal and a purpose. I know I love to feel busy. I wish I was good with my hands though, I can't really knit or sew. I write and that is how all my passion comes out. My fiance paints.

Good for you, you did a good job.

That is very pretty! What a great way to save an outfit! It makes a very pretty apron! I've got some dresses that I know I'll never wear again... I should see about turning them into aprons! Thanks for the great idea!

That is wonderful. I love aprons. I wear one any time I am in my kitchen. I love baby quilts too. You must be very talented. Do you hand piece the quilts or machine sew them?

That is a great looking apron. I love recycling fabric into new items. Often when I am yard saling I don't look for garments to wear, but for fabrics that I would like to play with. That gets me some strange looks when people see me, a very heavy, short person, buying some long, slinky type garment--little do they know I am after the fabric, trims or buttons.

Fantastic job! and a fortunate daughter to have such a talented mother. Aprons are making a comeback as I think also the homesteading crafts are. Such a frugal and creative idea you have there to recycle a skirt that can no longer be worn. Brava for you!
