Here are 2 of the aprons I finished this past weekend. I happened on a pair of lime green coveralls at a thrift shop several years back and finally got around to finishing the 2 aprons out of them. I cut the legs off and then started doing a little remaking. They already had embroidered yellow and white flowers on them.
 
The front had a bib pocket and the 2 front side pockets; all I had to do to this one was sew the shorter legs together, hem the sides, add an eyelet ruffle to the bottom, add grosgrain ribbon ties, make a strap for the neck out of the remaining leg fabric, and add buttons to the strap. (There were already 2 buttonholes on the bib.) For the apron from the coveralls back, I added a bib pocket from the embroidered bottom of one of the removed legs, added grosgrain ribbon ties, made 2 buttonholes on one strap to match the 2 buttons on the other strap, and hemmed around. I wish I could find more colorful overalls like these. I love the way the aprons turned out.
