Gingham summer apron

My apron for tie one on. Theme is gingham summer.




I have a stack of thrifted pillowcases waiting to be used in projects. I decided it was time to use one for an apron. I cut open the two long sides of the pillowcase and left the short end stitched together. That became the center of the apron skirt. I found a coordinating blue gingham in my stash to use for the bib. Waistband and sash ties were made from blue chambray. Apron is trimmed with jumbo size white ric rak.

I chose blue gingham for this project because to me summer means blue skies!
