Angry Chicken hosts a “Tie One On” apron-crafting challenge. This month the theme is “make an apron using materials from your stash ONLY”. Several days ago I selected an old (not vintage), embroidered muslin pillow sham from my reusable linen stash. I picked it up at a close-out store years ago with making something out of it, because the sham was not made for practical use. It was designed like an envelope so I cut a bib, skirt and two pockets from the embroidered portions of the sham. I used a lavender blender the back of the bib, the neck tie and the ties. Here’s what I came up with.
If you are a sewer…why not join in the fun and tie one on?
Until next time…
I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds tomorrow. ~ unknown ~

Oh Judy, that apron is lovely.
We are enjoying Lancaster… I finally am having a free moment to check in with my favorite people 🙂
Have a great day!
How creative. It looks wonderful. I would have never thought of that. & I just love the stitching & rick-rack. Very, Very nice!
Thank you, Angie and Renee.
Angie, I hope y’all are having a great time. It’s been many years since I was in Lancaster.
This is wonderful! The embroidery and rick-rack look so good together!
Thank you, Tammy. I’ve got the apron in my sewing room awaiting revision. I’m not happy with the bib enough so that I am making changes. (So much for working without a pattern…) The embroidery and rick-rack is what made that sham scream to be an apron. 🙂 Good to see you.
This is great. You should totally submit this to the Sublime Stitching Upcycling Contest!
