DIY Jeans apron - Upcycle

Jeans apron

I saw jeans/denim apron on Pinterest and have been thinking about making one for myself to use in the kitchen and one for my daughter for using went she does craft (or painting, gluing stuffs) because she denies to use  her Hello Kitty apron in craft time. And since one jeans can make 2 aprons anyway.. Why not??
 So last weekend I dig out one my old (maternity jeans) and started to chopped them out.

I used;

• Old Jeans
• Bias tape - I made my own bias tapes from the left over fabric I made pillow cases.

Let Do This!

• Cut the jeans - just about under the back pocket

Cut underneath back pocket 

• Open tube (leg) and fold flat,  line-up  two seams in the middle and then cut the tube open. I cut between two seams.

• Fold right side together, cut curve for top part of apron - I measured myself, chest to waist and then cut bout 10" from the top.

• Make bias tape. 

• Sew bias on top and bottom (I cut  the bottom seam off to thin out layer of fabric.) and then on the sides. My fabric was 44" long - I use the whole length on each sides (left and right)

• Added another bias for waist band, this one I used 2- 44" bias. I like it long so I can wrap around and tie in front.
