So recently I came across a very sweet lil apron at the Thrift,, $1.50 later and it became mine!
After laundering it and ironing it I noticed that it was completely sewn by hand, not machine! And from the looks of the fabric it was either a pillow case or a crib sheet.....
( I smoothed out the gathering so you can see the apron better)
in this one, the seamstress made a caseing at both the waist and bib neckline... and ran the ties right through,,,,
Sewwww what's a MJF gal suppose to do? why re-create one!
I found a Queen size pillowcase for $1.00 brought it home, laundered and ironed it,,, then preceeded to cut it up... unfortunately I ran short of time so I will have to wait till tomorrow to sew it.
pillowcase ready for cutting,,, I cut open the seamed edge first.
I measured and cut both the length and what will become the bib,,, then I cut 2 pc for the ties and 1 piece for the neckband...
this is what it kind of will look like.
I will make casings to run the ties and the neck band through... and I will have an instant, well almost instant pillow case apron in sweet pastel,,, just in time for Easter cooking and baking...

I love your apron, Grace! I really hadn't thought of casing! I'll have to rethink that for my next simple apron. Thanks.

Really cute! I enjoy making casing on the aprons for my children! It seems to work better as they grow :)

Well here it is....
it doesn't show well,,, but the colors really are pretty in pastel Spring colors...
this is the back side,,, so you can see what I meant by the casing for the ties to go through.
I decided to not make a casing around the neck,,, but rather I just stitched the tie on and made a loop at the other end for the tie to run through.
This really was an easy project especially with the pillowcase having had a cute trim at the hem...
