After a few really good deals at local thrift shops, I have amassed a good amount of vintage sheets to use in various projects. I simply adore the beautiful, feminine prints on them and find them lovely for sewing.
This apron was crafted from a single king sized pillowcase in a pink roses print (it’s a bit faded in the photos) and some soft rope that hubby had on hand. It was done in about an hour, even with sewing machine issues and needles breaking. Love that.
I delivered it today and my friend, Beverly, absolutely loved it. She and I both have two boys, so we understand the need for a little something practical and pretty sometimes.
Of course, there are a hundred ways to jazz up this simple apron. The pocket is made of the same fabric and it isn’t very obvious like it would be if I had used a contrasting fabric. Or some ric-rack, or lace, or bias binding, or piping, or an applique….WHEW! The ideas just don’t quit coming some days.
Till next time,
