hey gals!
in this season of my life, I am quite poor. so I'm having to make do with just about everything. I really wanted more aprons. So I went to the thrift store looking for bed sheets to make some aprons out of. But what I found was a bunch of pillow shams that would make the most perfect aprons! I made one so far out of a pillow sham that cost me only a buck! So, for a buck and about an hour of my time, I got myself an apron! so exciting!
you can see pictures and a bit about how I made it here:

Tried to access your blog and see the pix but it wouldn't come up. Really wanted to see how you had made it.

Heather - how cute and such a great idea.
I picked up some material at an antique shop that I thought would make a cute apron. After looking at it, it's from an old pillow or sheet. Going to my local thrift shop and look through their ribbons/trims to find something to go with it. May just have to take another look at their bedding stuff and see what would make another pretty apron.

Heather, how smart you are. I am going to try that as well. I would never have thought of that on my own.
