Here she is! SO SUPER SIMPLE too!
Here is the really cute Chaps skirt I got from a resale shop for just a couple of bucks. It used to fit until I washed it, and then it was too short! Dang! Well instead of throwing it out, I decided to make a cute apron with it instead.
I cut the side with the zipper open.
Then found the center seam, which is at the 2" mark here.
Then I made 1" pleats.
Here it is all pinned on the outside...
...and inside.
I hemmed the bottom and sides and ran a line of stitching though the pleats.
I added a 1" grosgrain ribbon for the tie with a stitched zig-zag...
...and voila!
The "Rose" apron.
Aint she purdy?!?
Now that's my kind of makeover!
Lots o' love,
Megan
What a great idea!!! It's super cute.
ReplyDeleteJust found your site (and love it), to bad I need to head to bed. Great job on the apron. I love that idea. I am just getting into upcycling things and this is a fantastic idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job!
