Even not so pretty fabric...

...can sometimes turn into something cute.

I've had this fabric for years and years and my tastes have changed ever so slightly.
My mom mentioned that she needed some new aprons and asked if I had any fabric I wasn't planning on using.

It was a fabric panel and some matching floral fabric.
I just traced one of my other aprons for the pattern.
The fabric was a little thin for an apron, so I lined it with Bella. This was actually much easier than trying to seam all the way around. I think I may line all future aprons.
I thought making the "strings" out of floral fabric may be a little much, so I chose Bella for those too. In orange.
And there you have it. Pretty out of not so pretty!
