Here’s the third shirt from last week’s garage sale purchases. These big, flouncy shirts came in style right after I had my daughter and I refused to buy any. I had just gotten out of maternity clothes. I didn’t want to buy shirts that made me look pregnant!
I really liked the band around the middle and thought it would make a nice apron. I love how this already had the ribbon and trim details. All I had to do was cut it up and add the sashes!
I’m not really an apron girl, but this just might make me change my mind. I just need to get over worrying about getting it dirty. I know, it’s an apron, but it’s so darn cute!
refashion: Shirt from garage sale cost $1. Sash made from the sleeves. Cute ribbon trim conveniently part of the original shirt. Love when that happens!

OMG! U r my new hero! How fabulous is that! I like that u make ur readers view something thrown-out as something cool and new. U let us know we CAN recycle/upcycle–we just need to look at things with new eyes so we can see the possibilities. Wonderful!
cute! and of course, you’re right, it looks WAY better as an apron!
we missed you tonight!

That apron is really lovely. And I so understand your fear of making it dirty. It’s silly, ofcourse, for an apron, but I totally understand
I AM an apron girl (or want to be). . .I love that one!
