In reply to Bridgette.

Bridgette how did you make a purse from jeans? I’d love one. I can’t see but I keep trying.
PS…I don’t know why I can’t see. Some things I give n just glue. Your purse n the aprons I can’t glue so like I said, I keep trying n ruining things. God bless you all who can see. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this fabulous idea for re-purposing jeans. I had a stack and this child’s apron idea was just the best to use up a pair! I lined the apron and used the lining fabric to jazz up the pockets. Then I made a matching “Dolly” apron for this little 7 year old mother for mother’s day. Thanks again for the inspiration! Wish I could send you a picture of the results!

I had to redo the pattern , because of the jeans that I found… I wasn’t able to use the bottom of the leg for the bottom of the apron because of the narrowness of the jeans now… (different style than 2011) Anyway, I used the bottom of the leg hem for the top of the apron him… again , refashioned the pattern to get the seam down the center… the hip part of the leg was really wide enough for the bottom of the apron… I added extra so that I could recreate the doubled over hem. All in all it is good. I have two patterns so that I can adjust to the Jeans that I find.
I am doing them for my granddaughter’s preschool class… thanks for the idea… I love to recycle denim , so this is another great way…

If you don’t have an apron for the pattern you could use the child’s shirt to get the sizing. lay it flat on some paper and Trace from the under the arm down both shirt sides to how long you want it beyond the bottom of the shirt. make a line from side to side across for the bottom. Now measure in toward the center one to two inches from the under arm end and redraw that line for the angle of the apron front. Make a line straight across from mid height on the arm hole to the same height on the other side(directly across just below where their collar bone would be) this line will be the apron top. Now draw a line from the mid arm end of line to the under arm end of the other line. Now you will have the shape of an apron and can put on ties to size for the child. Ps. I always fold new patterns I draw in half on the center line, this is a check to be sure the sides match. Happy child raising.

instead of hemming the outer edge 1/4 inch, do a zigzag stitch in a color that is similar to the golden stitching around the pocket and hem, and then let the edges ravel down to the stitch, cutting off long strings as it gets washed and ravels. even easier for a beginning sewer… cute project, can’t wait to do one!

I recently made a similar apron from my husbands jeans (he passed away 6 mths ago) for my granddaughter…. I also cut the bottom end (about 5 inches) of one of his neckties and used as a pocket and the remaining piece of tie I used as bias for edging around the apron. It is something that she will use and will keep forever.

Now I want to take out my sewing machine!!! I had to finally come to the realization I don’t have time to sew these days, but these aprons sure tempt me. They are darling!

These are gorgeous – I have some jeans in my cupboard that I have shrunk out of and may have to make some for J and T’s friends this year so hard wearing and having the pockets as well (Gardening aprons maybe?)

Thank you for linking to Made with Love

In reply to Maranda. Easy-Peasy, Maranda! You can do this with just some basic skills. Trust me, I don't have any advanced sewing skills. Straight lines are my forte. lol

These are so super adorable, I love them! It’s making me wish there was one under the tree for ME!
