I like this apron
via Fog linen Work |
while I would probably be able to afford a few from Fog Linen, I thought it would be
more fun to make a few of my own
more fun to make a few of my own
using deconstructed clothes
At my thrift store I purchased
a Leather skirt for $10.00
and
2.5 yards of Grey pin-stripe mens-wear wool for $2.50
Also a cotton white and blue striped jumper for $3.50
This week, post flu, I am hitting the ground running - here are a few pics

Navy blue jean material at a close-out price 2 years ago.
I am loving this mix of leather and pin-stripe
I absolutely love aprons. This is a corker!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam. I do not make clothes, but aprons might be my entrance.
Deleteoh my! I really love that last one! yes to the combo of leather and pinstripe
ReplyDeleteIt is an easy combination. I now need to find more leather.
DeleteI love this!!! I agree with Ronnie - the leather/pinstripe is wonderful...but so are the others. So...how easy (if it was) was this to do? That's just the kind of apron I need.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, these were a snap to make. I was daydreaming about making small versions for little girls. hint hint
DeleteSeriously...how'd you do this? I just ordered a "pinney" from South Street Linen that is the same basic design.

It's linen and meant to be a jumper of sorts. Thought it would look cute with a t-shirt and leggings.
