AW- apron made from vintage tablecloth (PIP)

I hope this picture works.. it was already on fb & I'm too lazy to put it on flickr too.

MIL brought over about 10 old tablecloths & some pictures of aprons and asked if I could make them for her. This was my first attempt. I love it, but I'm pretty tall (5'8") compared to MIL/SIL (-5'2") so I'm not sure if I should shorten some of them. I think she will be giving a few away too.   This one is 23 inches long.

The ties are made from the same cloth & I ended up with only one 4x4inch square leftover. Some of the other cloths are larger & I hope to get 2 aprons from those. (Maybe a mommy & me set? what is a good length for a toddler apron?)

  • It works- pretty! How nice of you to share your craftiness with others. I have become pretty selfish with my craft hours- I'll have to work on that. :)

    I don't know that I'm being that generous.. I get to keep one of these & she gave me 8 CHINA SIZE (aka huge) rolls of different ribbons "just in case". I guess it is easier for me to make stuff for other people since I don't have kids & there's a fairly limited amount of projects that I want to do for ME. It's nice to have someone else buy the fabric and let me play.

    Oh, I forgot about all that ribbon- sheesh, I might be able to dust off my little shrunken heart and spare a little sewing for enough ribbon to wrap the world up (2 or 3 times, probably ;).

  • I love how the apron turned out.  Very vintage and fancy.  I'd be afraid to cook while wearing it coz it's so pretty.
    Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    MIL doesn't really cook.. for her it's just something to wear to look cute. Embarrassed
