Got a pair?

Of jeans that is!! hahahahaha

My husband ripped his the other day and they were not repairable.  I have been saving the family's jeans for a while, in delusions of one day weaving a rug out of them.

But not this pair!!!

So I was on Pinterest (funny how a lot of post are starting this way) and someone made an apron out of said throw away jeans.  I clicked on the link and it was an etsy store (insert sad face) and it was sold out.  I scoured the Internet looking for the same apron but no luck, just a bunch of aprons that look like your pants are on backwards.   Criss Cross I am not.  (google it)

So this only means I have to figure it out for myself (now add the face of determination) 

So I cut the pant leg in half with the side seam in the middle.

I then held it up and realized it was tooo wide on top and had to narrow it. 

I used the cut out seam as my neck thingie.

I folded and cut the top part and hand stitched on a back pocket.

Now the one on pinterest had this adorable fabric which they lovingly sewed on but, I do not love to sew so I decided to do what I do.  Fake it!

Found some ribbon at Walmart for a dollar!! 

Now just to add a little witch stitch magic and BAM!!

 It's beginning to shape up.

I also hand stitched a little ruffle on the bottom, that I found in my stash.

After much pleading and begging my daughter finally model it for me.

I made it for me so you can not see the side ribbon on her, thus the multi shots.

music please 

So there ya go, another pinterest pin accomplished!!!
