cafe apron

pillowcase apron

i have lots of vintage pillowcases laying around so when i saw this tutorial on One Pretty Thing i knew i wanted to make one. it worked out well because my mother in law's birthday was last week!

pillowcase apron

i really like the way a cafe apron sits high on the waist. that is somehow comforting to me. i didn't add any embellishments, because i thought the pattern of the pillowcase was busy enough. i did, however, use a leftover part of the hemmed edge to make a small pocket. 

this project maybe took me an hour... and G's mom liked it! now i need to make one for me.

How clever is that! Who would ever guess it started life as a pillow case. Great idea and it looks like a comfy style of apron.
