Apron made from old jeans

To work you will need:
• A pair of unwanted jeans
• Cuts of cotton fabric or linen 15cm x 2m
• White tulle 8cm x 4m

It is best to take your old jeans or ones that are approximately the same size, since using large ones will make the apron look tacky, and small ones will be too decorative for beauty.

Apron made from old jeans




Use chalk or soap to mark the cut line.



The back looks better since you don't have to fiddle with the front button, and the outside pockets are more convenient, but if you like the front of the jeans better, it will do.
Cut along the marked line and along the sides. If these jeans just fit you or are a little large (a couple of cm), then you can cut out this part plus grab the belt, leaving a button for fastening. But putting it on will be more difficult.



We select the fabric that best matches the color scheme and texture.



From it we cut a strip 8 cm wide and 120 cm long.



We bend the edges of the material inward and pin it with pins,



we sew on all sides, you can add more lines if the fabric is quite thin. This will be the belt for our apron.



A second piece of the same fabric will be needed for the ruffle. Its width is 4 cm and its length is 2 meters.



We gather the fabric into folds and pin it along the periphery of the denim base, and sew it on.



Then you need to sew on the reverse side. The folds on both sides can match each other, but you can also do it differently - out of order, so the ruffles will look more voluminous.



To make it more elegant, I decided to add a little tulle. To do this, cut a strip of material 8 cm wide and 4 m long.



Collecting on a thread



and sew parallel to the first ruffles.



All that remains is to adjust the belt - and the apron is ready!



So that it does not get lost, you can sew it to the base, and for the set, sew an oven mitt and a mitten from the remaining fabric. Any housewife will be happy with such a gift!
And if you sew jeans pockets into vertical sectors, you will get a wonderful apron for an artist, seamstress or even a male craftsman. Of course, the ruffles should be removed and as many pockets as possible made; then no guy would refuse such a useful apron.
