Revamping Vintage Aprons

Some vintage aprons can stand alone and some can use a little restyling. 
 Here are two aprons I have taken and revamped into the Shabby Chic style.


Mustard yellow handkerchief bottom apron.




Here I added orange satin ribbon to trim the bottom of this apron and around the pocket.
  I included a crochet doily and a removable orange and green felt flower.

Simple orange/peach and beige checked apron




I restyled this apron by shortening this by about 2 inches.   I added cream pompom trim around bottom and cream lace around the waistband.  I included a cream crochet doily pocket which is trimmed with orange ribbon and orange and white felt flower and beige button center.

Recycling One Man's Shirt

I have become a fan of recycling clothing lately.  My latest project is to see how many items I can get out of  one man's dress shirt.  First I made a halter apron.  I had all these scraps left over and just don't like to waste or through away anything.  So I decided to brainstorm and come up with ideas to use my scraps.  I came up with the cuff bracelets, and then collars, I made two collar.  Next I made a rosette to add to a headband.  There an now only small pieces of cloth left.  I think I did rather well in creating unique and usable items.

New Vintage Halter Apron

I just love vintage sheets and the cute designs on them. So I decided to make a darling halter apron with some sheets. I made a totally reversible apron that is as cute on the front side as the back side. Frankly, I can't even tell which is the front or back. LOL This is how it turned out.


Bust here is Navy with flowers, skirt turquoise blue daisies and light blue waistband.


This is the reverse side with the Turquoise blue daisies on the bust and the navy and flower on the skirt. The waist band is the same light blue.

It's waiting for a home at my shop.
