Instructions

Update: 1/14/2013: the link to the directions does not work! :-( Put a comment below and I will see if I can help you get started.

Follow the directions on the link. I used a pair of D-rings to make the apron adjustable at the neck. The top of the apron was held in place with a stabilizer that had a "sticky" side.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Cute, Casual, Hipster, Funky


Materials

old pair of jeans, cotton fabric, pair of "D" rings, cotton thread, machine embroidery thread, sticky stabilizer

What was your inspiration?

My daughter sent me a picture of the apron she found on Pinterest. It is a great way to recycle an old pair of jeans.

What are you most proud of?

Another pair of jeans gone from my stash! Recycling!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Embellish the pockets before attaching them to the front. Let your imagination soar! Embroider a saying to go with the ruffle fabric (I used chili peppers and embroidered "Too Hot To Handle" on the top). Make sure you use a bold font on your embroidery machine.

Now that's a really neat apron! How apropos to the kitchen your trim fabric and your embroidered adage.

I love this idea - and "too hot to handle" is WAY too appropriate! What would we do without daughters and Pinterest? (will you post your jackets?)
