They are pretty easy to make... just take some left over material from other projects, old jeans that aren't totally clapped out (grin), some patience, a good iron, a sewing machine,bits of this and that (i.e. buttons, ribbon, old doilies, you get the picture) some more patience and time... I am rather pleased with how they have turned out so far. I even made one for the grandson of one of my pool buddies (unfortunately I didn't take a photo of it... just plain forgot!.
This apron has a light blue striped material around the edges and some red polka dot ribbon for "braces". I raided my button jars and sewed a bunch of red and white buttons on the pocket! Salvage the labels off the jeans... you can use them for decoration too!
This one was a fun one to make with some bandana fabric I bought last summer for another project (which is now not going to happen because it's been confiscated for these aprons... oh well...) If you want to tackle one like this just make sure you have a good sharp jeans needle in your machine!
This next one is a "shortie"... great for wearing around a barbeque... maybe hubby will get this one under the tree!
And just to show you something you can make with jean "scraps"... here's a table runner... and yes it is straight... it's just the angle that the photo was taken at that makes it look out of "whack"!
Here's another apron... this one with some green polka dot material around the edges, a piece of an old doily and some rick rack...
If you are interested in finding out how to make these... just leave me a comment. If there is enough interest, I'll write up a small tutorial.
Happy Sewing...
