Tie One On

Here is my first apron. The tie one on theme for January is apron from old clothes. So I dug through the bag in the trunk of my car waiting to be delivered to Goodwill. I pulled out a pair of khaki pants and a light blue cotton shirt.

Here is a picture of the pants and shirt. I was so excited about getting started once I had an idea in mind I nearly forgot to take a picture of the clothes before. I cut the legs off the pants and removed the zipper but left the waistband. I hemmed the sides and bottom and attached the light blue lace trim from the hem of the shirt. The pant pockets had a flap and button and I removed that. I cut the area with the embroidery and tucks off the shirt and ironed them onto the pocket using fusible web. I made a belt out of the shirt fabric. I love it  and it was fun to create! It will definitely be the first of many aprons! Here is a view of the back.

Hey I have had a few visitors today and no one said hello! If you are visiting tell me hi!

On another subject, I just love your purses. So, so pretty.
