Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Ours was busy but I managed to sneak in a few little projects. Last Wednesday, I received an order that I placed with Online Fabric Store for two burlap French Grain Sack Reproduction bags. I paid $9.80 a piece which I didn’t think was bad at all. And guess what the best part was…. they had no smell!
I made a baker’s apron with one of the French Grain burlap bags over the weekend.
This was soooo easy to make! I cut the French Grain burlap bag at the seams and I drew the armhole cuts, freehand by pencil, on the front side the burlap. I then cut my apron form and used fabric glue to attach a wide black bias tape around it. I used my sewing machine to attach the neck and waist strap to the apron. If you’re looking to make a “no sew apron” you could use fabric glue to attach them.
For now, I have it on the frig.
But I’ll move it over here once I re-do this area of my kitchen.
I have another burlap bag and I just might have to make an apron for my daughter-in-law to hang in her kitchen.
I think one would look nice in there….don’t you?
As always, thanks for your visit and your sweet comments. They just make my day!
Gail

Love your apron. I have two of those bags, too and one has a pillow form in it, but they are both just tossed in a basket for now.
ReplyDeleteLove your apron! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty apron Gail. I love having an apron hanging in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Gail I love it and yes I think one would look fabulous in your DIL's kitchen!!

ReplyDeleteI love those bags, I shall go over there and see what I can see! I adore the apron that you made! You're a genius, dear lady!

Really cute idea. And, I agree - one for your daughter in law would look awesome by her cabinet (oh I love that cabinet! As well, I love yours!)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful new week!
Blessings,

How was the shred factor when you cut into it?

Awesome idea; I'm loving the price you paid for the two burlaps--truly a great bargain! Your project turned out beautiful; I'm burlap-envy right now--I need to get busy (and my sewing machine broke down--ugh). Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI like your apron very much.The contrasting black looks so good.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Gail! Great idea to do an apron with them. Love the black with it. I am sure your daughter-in-law would love one, too. It would look good near that chest at her house.
ReplyDeleteHi Gail,
