You can do it for him...Turn his shirt into an apron and hang it back in there...The ones he doesn't wear...He'll never know it's something else...He'll just see the pattern hanging there and will think it's his shirt.

Hello Mark . I hope you're having a wonderful weekend . I have always loved this idea. Your directions are one of the easiest I have ever watched. These could also be used as adult bibs for seniors at nursing facilities. Just make them a little shorter. You could also use women's blouses with the laces and pin tucks to create very feminine adult bibs or aprons. I'm going to look through some of my mother's blouses to see what I can find. Besides creating quilts like my family did when we were kids or pillows, another way to recycle clothing fabric would be to cut them into bias strips and sew them together in one long strip then crochet the strips into rag rugs or circular/Cube storage containers that can be placed on shelving in your craft room or Studio. Rag rugs could also be created to the dimensional size needed as nap mats in preschool or daycare.

This is perfect for my creative adventures with the grandkids! Plus, I have a Cricut machine, too. So much fun Mark!

They can be a little messy, so these aprons might be helpful!

This are soooo cute m'ijo , the bias is challenging, I make some for my. " little dresses for Africa" great project again, 👍

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

If you don't want to make the bias, you can always use a ribbon! Why not. Oh, they also sell pre-made bias tape!

[@delfinadiem3158]

@@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark I know about buying the bias pre made, but when I made the little dresses during the pandemic you could not find it , the ribbon idea is a very good one thank you for all you do, you are an inspiration to many artists and crafters😉

I didn’t know there was a bias tape maker! Wow this is awesome

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

There is and it's a fantastic little tool. If you don't like to finish edges, it's a beautiful way to give something a finished look!
