A New Art Apron from an Old Blouse

New Apron Back
The blouse before destruction
Destruction

Art aprons make me so hot and yet, I must wear one; otherwise, all of my clothes would carry the evidence.

So this weeks creative venture is to make a new art apron with very lightweight 100% cotton.
Of course the making has to be fun.
And I think you can decipher what I have done so far.
My plan is to bind the raw edges by hand stitching and embellishing with cloth fragments.
Inspiration is from Jude Hill. I am enjoying an online class with her called What If Diaries I.

  1. I need one of these--more and more of my clothes are getting spots of paint on them!

    1. Just go find a shirt in your closet and do it. It is fun creating.

  2. I seem to need an apron no matter what I'm doing. Painting, cooking, eating. Maybe I also need to stop waving my hands around so much.
