Making Aprons Out of Old Overalls
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.
