DIY: 5-minute Apron


This was initially posted in an old blog of mine - reposting here just because. (It still is my favorite apron.)

In a house-cleaning frenzy one Saturday motivated by the presence of a clean-freak friend, I hastily made an apron from an old pair of jeans. It was a bit late in the making but it still had its use.

Ingredients

  • An old pair of jeans, preferably one that fits your hips or waist
  • A pair of scissors

Steps

  1. Make a jean skirt by cutting along the dotted line as shown in the picture. Be sure to cut the crotch of the pair of jeans to turn into a skirt. Also, trim the hem of the jean skirt to make it straight.

  2. With the front side facing you, cut a little to the left side of the fly from the bottom. Upon reaching the waistband, cut across the zipper thereby separating the two sides of the front.


That’s it! All done! Wear the apron buttoned from behind, so you’ll have use of the before-back-pockets in front for the putting of various cleaning implements.
