How to make an apron from old jeans
Re-using is all the rage, and tons better for the environment than recycling, so here's a fun idea for turning old jeans into aprons. What I especially like about these aprons is they're useful, but not too girly-looking; the little bird motif is entirely optional, but I happen to find it quite cute!
We've all got an old pair of jeans lying around somewhere that's either gone out of style or no longer fits us (and if not, charity shops and thrift stores can't get rid of the things). So take some scissors to your old denim and get stitching, with this easy to follow pattern. You'll have a functional, attractive apron that'll be ready just in time for National Apron Day on May 12th! [via Crafty Crafty]
