THIS IS WHAT I DO. I KNIT, I COOK, I SEW, I MAKE THINGS, AND I TRAVEL, AS OFTEN AS I CAN.

Just a little sewing.

See this shirt.
New - too small for hubby.

So I cut the back and sleeves off to make a halter looking piece.

Then I ran the Serger over all the raw edges.

Turned under the raw edges and top stitched them down.


Made some straps from the leftover back piece.

Stitched them down.

Voila!  An apron!

This is what I do when I'm supposed to be reorganizing my sewing room.  And my hubby doesn't think I have ADD.

I'm off to walk my 3 miles.  Have a great day!

That's so cute! What a great idea! I've been trying to make things with some old shirts and shirts that are too small for my hubby too. I made some drawstring bags with a couple of them. I used them for shoe bags in my suitcase for the trip. I have a really nice blue plaid one that my daughter mentioned making an apron with. I like the one you made. Hmmm...maybe I'll try that! :-)

This makes me think that maybe I should buy a sewing machine - again! I sell them when I move on boats or into RV's! But I used to love sewing.
