Re-purpose and re-use

I was asked during the week if I could help out and make a few adult aprons from some donated tablecloths.    No problem I said and this pile of tablecloths was left at the front door yesterday while I was out and about.


Twenty five tablecloths to be precise.     I did my first one today and this is how it turned out


One down and 24 more to go.   By cutting the tablecloth a certain way I was able to get the apron, the neck and waist straps as well as a pocket from each one.    Every apron needs a pocket.      

Into the sewing room for some more cutting and sewing.

Back soon and in the meantime

 
Happy sewing all
