Recycling

[CMorPaint]

Here is something I just finished and I hope it's okay to post here. My son does not like to wear p.j. tops. So I took this one and trimmed off the back and sleeves. I then hemmed all around and turned the trimmed sleeves into the apron strings and sewed on. Now I have a new Cozy apron.

With a pocket! Clever!

Love it. Very clever! Talk about recycle and reuse!

 

[Terri]

Very imaginative! You get three cheers for figuring out a way to make this cute fabric useful. It looks comfy and cozy - just the right feeling when working in the kitchen.

Great job on a great idea!

If I had one this cozy, I'd wear the thing! Very, very cool!!!

Ntl, ams, Terri and Artyczar - this was so easy I had to share. Used to just cut the p.j. tops into rags, (flannel makes the best wash rags) but thought there has to be a better use for these.

This is great. I love aprons.

One thing I have realized is a flannel shirt makes for a nice cozy warm apron. (Suitable for winter - I live in Canada) If you require a cooler apron you can use a cotton shirt.

That is such a clever idea.

Very cute! I save every kind of weird thing to re-invent like that. How about making some cool Xmas bows from the missing back?

Thanks Jane and Hostajunkie!

Fab bit of creative upcycling. Are you using it for cooking or painting?

 

[CMorPaint]

Cooking, it's nice for winter time baking. Keeps the chill off. Would recommend a cotton shirt to make one for the summer.
