Joss loves to help out in the kitchen and I looked for a little apron but didn’t like all the plastic ones we saw. Eventually I spotted an adult apron in Poundland and liked the sweet ditsy flowers so this was a cut and stitch job waiting to happen! Upcycling From adult to toddler size is easy, if you want to do the same just chop off the bottom and either use to make a pocket or save for a hairband or other project.
Then chop the sides saving the ties (I used a dress of hers for basic measurements for length and width) then I cut off the neck tie and repositioned a couple of inches closer together and stitched up all the hems finally repositioning the waist ties after she tried it on to give a comfy fit.
Cute and thrifty in less than an hour!
Such a lovely idea and great for keeping cloths clean whilst helping in kitchen.
Definitely a thrifty make! Brilliant x
Lovely idea – and that’s a lovely print. Didn’t know they had aprons in Poundland!
Great idea. There are so many great bargains in poundland x
Great idea! We made bread the other day and the flour was everywhere LOL!
Well done you! I really wish I could sew, but alas my find motor skills are non-existent. I love the aprons – so cute and vintage!

WE have several aprons already as my girls are big cooks
but I do love this idea, always a fan of stitching just rarely find the time for it!
Great idea but I have 2 left hands when it comes to sawing
Brilliant idea – Thanks for linking up to the Parenting Pin It Party last week x x
