I've been having a blast making unique upcycled aprons for my Etsy shop.
This half apron would add a bit of hostess flair to a party.
The top of this is pieced with white cotton fabric for ample coverage. I love the colors of this one.
Vintage rick-rack mimicks the bias lines of the skirt. The burgandy tie in the back is darling.
This is my favorite one! I love how the pocket turned out. I used the side zipper tab from the skirt to top off a muslin pocket , trimmed it with vintage rick-rack and topped the whole thing off with a vintage button from Oma's button box.
I'm having so much fun making these. If you're wondering, I can make two aprons from one skirt. I remove the zipper from the back (or side) of the skirt and sew up the seam to make another front panel. I have about 10 more in the works right now. I wonder which one I'll keep for myself?
Those are too sweet. I love the two you made from the same skirt.
ReplyDeleteAnd what an adorable little model you have there! I think I recognize her. ;-)
These are way too cute! I just might need to get myself a new apron soon!!
ReplyDeleteI adore your aprons, Kelly. I would love to have a cute apron but I am a size 26/28 with a very ample chest. I can never find bibbed aprons to fit my chest (the bib ends up being a decorative square in the middle of my chest instead of providing any coverage). Would you consider adding some plus sizes to your apron line? I know I would buy them. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, Heidi. Because I make my aprons from upcycled skirts, I can make them in any size. Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Christmas gifts...wink wink. ;)
