Okay kiddos, this is Chef Tess. With summer coming up I wanted to share a cheap way to make some cooking aprons that I think are a lot of fun for kids and moms to make. I'm going to show some pictures of the ones I've done, and you can make some too. If you do, please don't hesitate to take pictures and send them my way! I'd love to post them here on the blog.
These aprons don't require much sewing at all, maybe 3 seams. If you don't want to sew at all, you can just loop the strap through the pant loops without attaching it to the jeans. If you can handle that, I think we're in business. The back side of my husband's jeans cut off just above the legs make the perfect base for an apron. I was sure to keep the belt loops in tact. I did finish off the edges with a zig-zag, so the apron wouldn't fray too much, but you don't have to finish the seams.
I took two strips of gingham, four inches wide and 36 inches long, and sewed them end to end to make the apron strap. Then I simply thread it through the belt loops.
With a safety pin I attached a cute flower to the center of the apron. That's it. Easy right?
The front of his pants, cut off just above the legs, was made into a third apron. I did sew some red ric-rack onto the edges, but did the belt and flowers in a similar fashion to the second apron.
Look how adorable the back looks for a little girl. Why don't I have an daughters?
So, with a little creativity and not any money other than what we already had in the house, we now have three new aprons. They're not fancy, but they are a little "Daisy Duke meets Martha Stewart". What's not to love about that?
