Aprons

Making Aprons Out of Old Overalls

As you may know if you have read about some of my other sewing projects, I have been working on a lot of projects with my late grandpa's overalls. I've already made them into some purses for a few of my relatives. My Aunt Debbie had a pair of these overalls and wanted me to make them into two aprons for her. I used a lot of the original fabric, clasps, and strap adjusters, and then made some straps out of handkerchief material. My main obstacle was finding a way to join the legs together without any weird bulging. Otherwise this project was pretty straightforward.

This is the front of the overalls I used.

This is the back of the overalls I used. The first step was to seem-rip both sides of the legs.

This is one of the aprons before I sewed the sides and finished the straps. I made this one from the front of the overalls.

This is the other apron before I sewed the sides and finished the top. I made this one from the back of the overalls.

This is the final apron from the front of the overalls.
