My Princess loves dress up.  She has a box full of thrift store and hand-me-down dress up clothes.  But wanted an apron to use while she helps me cook.

So I came up with this apron using clothes that didn’t fit anymore and scraps of material…costing me…nothing!

I started with this old shirt of mine.

And cut off the bottom of the shirt, using it as my base. It already had the strings attached from the tie-back shirt.

Next, I made and sewed on ruffles from

an old skirt,

a scrap of material.

and the last one was from an old shirt.

It was really simple and could be used for an adult too.

    What a great use of old clothes…especially favorites that a child didn't want to part with! I need to make myself an apron…better raid the 'too small for me' tote!!! Visiting from the Hoo's Got Talent linky party.
