Repurpose, Reuse

 So I have often heard of going to rummage sales, Goodwill, yard sales etc.... to look for things that not only you need, but things you can make over into things you need/want.... I just always forget! Well, one day I actually remembered. So, while at the local Goodwill, I saw the cutest bed skirt, however it was for a twin bed, which we no longer have any of, but I REALLLY loved the skirt! So I bought it with the decision to remake it into something!


I looked at it, and looked at it and then I figured out, it would be really cute as an apron, however it needed a bit more material to it. My first thought was to use the white fabric already attatched, however it was a bit thin and would not protect my clothes from anything! So I dug in my fabric stash and realized I already had some matching gingham (OFCOURSE I already had gingham, in an assorment of colors, as it is my crack!) and a little sewing here and there, and voila! .......

I LOVE IT!! Made one for my penpal and one for my friend for Christmas, now to get MINE made! I will still have some left over even after that, so I may see a matching one for my daughter in the near future!
