katmom	Posted - Feb 03 2017 : 10:29:58 AM I was trolling around on pinterest when I stumbled across this cute re-purposing idea... an apron made from a pillowcase... looks pretty simple,,, cut open (down the stitched side)the pillowcase.. cut a wider pc for the waistband, cut 2 pc for the ties and the remaining pc is the apron skirt. then just stitch up like a regular apron... I think the name of the blogger is the 'humblethimble.blogspot'... I The blog didn't give measurements just these images... but should be fairly easy to make... 'Sew now I am off to see if I have a spare pillowcase... if not,,, off to the Thrift I go....weather permitting! lol! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com

Nancy Gartenman	Posted - Mar 11 2017 : 03:39:53 AM Thank you Grace, that was pretty clear. I bet I can do that. You are such a good girl. Nancy Jo https://myrockingchairandme.blogspot.com/
katmom	Posted - Mar 10 2017 : 5:08:50 PM oh Nancy~jo,,, here is a really easy idea: holding the pillow case up to you,,, decide how long/short you want it and then cut off the top(closed side),,, then cut open the pillow case down the seamed side... fold over the top (where you cut the excess off) and sew a casing (like a curtain casing where the rod goes through... take the piece you cut off,,, make/cut 2 pieces that will be folded in half length wise and stitch together (think of it as 1 really long tie)... run the tie through the casing,,, now hold the apron on yourself,,, gather to size you like and then pin into place... now stitch/tack the corner where the tie comes out of the casing... deco it w/a yoyo or button on each side... hope that makes since... but it is supper easy... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Nancy Gartenman	Posted - Mar 10 2017 : 09:36:29 AM Very cute Grace. Now I need to look for pillow cases. Sometimes my list gets long on good ideas. In fact I bet I have some pillow cases upstairs. Now if I can just figure out how to turn them into aprons. Nancy Jo https://myrockingchairandme.blogspot.com/
katmom	Posted - Mar 10 2017 : 09:16:44 AM Winnie... for sure...so many homeless pillowcases laying saddly arou d in Thrifts... In fact, I am heading out for coffee with some gal-pals in a wee bit... and out little Thrift shop is near the coffee shop, guess where I am headed after coffee! Lol! Oh and fyi.... I used a queen size pillow case for my apron but a standard would would work as well... (had fabric left over...to make more yoyos with)... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Mar 09 2017 : 5:32:20 PM What a cute and clever idea! Your apron turned out so pretty too!! This would make an awesome gift if you wanted to use it for the Jubilee weekend and wrap it around some sort of baked bread or cookies. I bet there are a gazillion decent pillowcases at thrift stores what would create darling new aprons. Thanks for sharing!! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl Farm Sister of the Year 2014-2015
katmom	Posted - Mar 03 2017 : 9:07:16 PM thanx Lenora,,, I found the hankie for a quarter at the Thrift... perfect for the apron. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
firecatinc	Posted - Mar 03 2017 : 7:53:59 PM Grace a very pretty apron. Love the pocket. Nora Farmgirl Sister #7131 Farmgirl of the Month, January 2017 http://firecatinc.wordpress.com
katmom	Posted - Mar 03 2017 : 7:49:01 PM oops! forgot to post the rest of the pics... I added the button on the yoyo as an after thought.... I used a hankie for the pocket,,, did a little creative folding and stitching to keep the integrity of the hankie... I decided to use contrasting fabric for the waistband..... What an easy peasy apron project. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
katmom	Posted - Mar 03 2017 : 7:43:33 PM OK... got it done! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com

katmom	Posted - Mar 02 2017 : 5:49:48 PM I found one at the Thrift with sweet tiny lil pink, yellow and blue flowers,,, and I found a sweet hanky w/ (almost) matching embroidered flowers on it... sew,,,, hopefully tomorrow I will have a sewing day and make an apron from the pillow case and use the hankie as a decorative pocket.... Wish me luck! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Lavender Rose	Posted - Mar 02 2017 : 5:33:14 PM Great idea! I have some miss matched pillow cases. Think I will make one or more of these. Thanks for sharing. Farm Girl Hugs, Brenda #6218 Each day we add to our legacy-good or bad. Our Daily Bread

katmom	Posted - Feb 04 2017 : 08:47:31 AM Oh NancyJo... ain't that the Truth!!!! Lolol! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Nancy Gartenman	Posted - Feb 04 2017 : 04:58:27 AM Cute idea Grace. Of course going to the thrift could get you more then a pillowcase. We know how that goes. Nancy Jo https://myrockingchairandme.blogspot.com/
katmom	Posted - Feb 03 2017 : 9:39:39 PM I need to go to the Thrift,,, I could not find a single pillow case in my sheeting stash that I use for rag rugs,,, scheeze! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
katmom	Posted - Feb 03 2017 : 9:38:27 PM Linda,,, for sure a good idea.. creating a "caseing" at the top of the skirt/apron... stitch the 2 ties, end to end (making 1 very long tie) and then run them through the casing and then you could tack down (and embellish w/a button or yoyo at each end opening) to keep the waist in place. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
quiltee	Posted - Feb 03 2017 : 7:29:16 PM Neat idea, Grace. If you leave the top of the pillowcase sewn together, and press under the cut edges 1/2" or so, you can then gather the skirt piece and insert it INTO the top section. Then you can add the ties and Viola! an apron. LOL! I wasn't sure if she did it that way or opened up the top section, too.

HealingTouch	Posted - Feb 03 2017 : 6:45:39 PM Thanks Grace. Looks like next Christmas everyone will get an apron. LOL. We have a store that often sells a pair for $2.99. Good idea for a craft fair!

firecatinc	Posted - Feb 03 2017 : 3:28:47 PM I agree with Krista. Looks pretty easy for a first timer. Nora Farmgirl Sister #7131 Farmgirl of the Month, January 2017 http://firecatinc.wordpress.com
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Feb 03 2017 : 11:50:00 AM Love this idea. Maybe something easy for my first apron. Thanks for sharing Grace. Krista
nndairy	Posted - Feb 03 2017 : 11:06:40 AM Love this idea! (Although I've yet to see an apron I didn't love LOL!!)
