I enjoyed your video very much and I just found it two hours ago. And guess what? I followed along and made an apron out of one my dad’s old flannel shirts. It’s a gift for my 26 year old daughter who was very close to my dad (her Peepaw). He died four years ago just before Christmas. This apron is going to be treasured and I thank you for your excellent tutorial. Merry Christmas and God bless you!

I like to make my ties from the sleeves and make them long enough to bring around and tie in the front. I use the back for a pocket all the way across the front dividing the pocket in thirds. I also use my serger.

I also use the sleeves to make the ties! I have used the last few inches of the sleeve including the cuff to make pockets. Cute!

Love the video! I have made a few of these aprons. I defiantly learned something from you and will use this new knowledge to make a better apron!

I love your instructions! I have made a few of these aprons from shirts. Your apron is very much like the ones I have made in the past. I did learn a few things from you and will incorporate in my next apron. I wear one whenever cooking. They are great as a part of a fund raiser, especially when the shirts did not cost you anything! I think making the apron from a loved ones shirt is a great gift. It’s like a memory apron vs a memory bear!

Great tutorial! I just subscribed. Your hands look so young.....I've spent so much time on my face and neck but have neglected my hands; now they look much older than the rest of me. Yours are beautiful. Thanks for this tutorial. I saw some of these aprons at a craft show and wanted to make them. I'll have a hoot going through your previous videos. Blessings from WV!

I made 6 of these for Christmas Gifts. So cute! Easy. I like to use binding instead of hemming, to me it looks more finished. Plenty of fabric using sleeves or back of shirt.

I like to use the back to cut a circle for a matching chef's hat, the band of which can be cut from the sleeves. This pairing makes for an unbeatable set! Very popular.

I saw another video where she cut up the side on the back part close to the seam so you don't have to hem that section.

@lindamasson3094 7 ай бұрын

That's the way I've made a couple. I just don't know how they come through the wash. There is still a raw edge next to the seam. Bias binding is a good idea.

Your camera is out of focus, maybe it has to do with the pattern of your fabric, I couldn’t even watch, it hurt my eyes. Too bad, you have an interesting project
