Sew a Pillow Case Apron!



Want a fun craft for this weekend? How about a homemade bridal shower gift that only takes a few hours? I've got what you need! A pillow case apron!

What You'll Need:

Four pillow cases, matching colors preferred

Sewing machine or needle and thread.

A large strip of wide ribbon or lace

An idea of how big you would like it (I based mine on my favorite apron)


Step One:





Cut out one side of one pillow case to match the size you want the apron to be. Cut four strips from the other pillow cases about 6 inches longer than the apron size (so you can ruffle them)

Step Two:

Sew the strips from your four pillow cases on the apron back, over lapping them slightly and ruffling them using a running stitch.

Step Three:




Sew the wide ribbon to the top and you're done! It's that easy! These also make great mother's day gifts for friends and family or go ahead and sell them at your local Farmers Market :) Cute, feminine, practical and recycled!
