This is what the tube top looked like pre-refashion!
Cutting the fabric out :)
FINISHED PRODUCT!! LOVE IT!
Can't wait to wear it out! or maybe I'll do a giveaway....hmmm.
Melissa took an old skirt and refashioned into a beautiful apron! Maybe I'll convince her that I need it more :) haha. She even did a fabulous tutorial with pictures.
Materials:
1. skirt that I loved that acquired a few stains and that seemed to shrink after pregnancy=)
2. pinking shears - wow didn't need to use these but so much fun!
3. tin full of old buttons
Directions
1. & 2. cut off front panel of skirt.
3. cut two strips for apron ties
4. cut off lining at the top of the ties
5. ironed ties
6. folded ties in half and ironed then sewed down side leaving top and bottom opened
7. & 8. Used safety pin to turn ties right side out
9. Cut 1 1/2 in. off the top of the front panel and then cut off another 5 inches and tossed that strip
10. pinned top strip to the bottom of the skirt (making sure to evenly distribute tucks)
11. pinned ties to side of skirt and sewed down edges
12. sewed random off white buttons to the top strip
13. Mamma wanted vintage...mamma got vintage=)Loved the skirt - adore the apron!
Have A Happy Friday!

WOW!! I must say that I love these much more than last week's. Not that they weren't lovely, these just seem like they'll really be put to a lot more use. Leslie, instead of just hosting a giveaway, maybe you just give the bag to me :) And Melissa, I did make you an apron, so really, you should give this apron to me :) Yup, sounds perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI hate doing dishes. More than anything. But today I put on my apron and the dishes were almost fun to do. Almost =) Must have good vibes!
