I’ve been dabbling in the refashion world lol!& when I saw this vintage curtain panel for $3 I knew it could have a future as an apron,I held it out & studied it for a while as I began to explain to my husband as to how I could cut this part & make straps & this part to make this ….people began to gather round me lol!
I laid one of my aprons on top of it to get an idea of how long I wanted it then cut straight across the top
then I cut the top hem where the rod goes through off
the space between the middle was folded in half, ironed to make a crease & cut into two strips then these two was folded in half, iron & cut giving me four strips
then sewed two strips end to end, folded in half & sewed down the sides
then I cut the bottom off & hemmed it
I reattached the top band & ran a decorative stitch across, waiting for that to go all the way across took 14 min. whew! yes I timed it lol!
I worked on this project for two days, was it worth it?
you bet it was! have to say I’m kind of proud of myself lol!

Hi Helen - well done on getting this made - it doesn't matter how long it took, the thing is you did it :)
A fabulous refashion!!! Who would know your apron was once a curtain.
