I enjoyed your video very much and I just found it two hours ago. And guess what? I followed along and made an apron out of one my dad’s old flannel shirts. It’s a gift for my 26 year old daughter who was very close to my dad (her Peepaw). He died four years ago just before Christmas. This apron is going to be treasured and I thank you for your excellent tutorial. Merry Christmas and God bless you!
I loved how you took your time, and explained everything! Too many times, people go too fast, and it makes it hard for me to keep up. Thank you so much!
I like to make my ties from the sleeves and make them long enough to bring around and tie in the front. I use the back for a pocket all the way across the front dividing the pocket in thirds. I also use my serger.
I love your instructions! I have made a few of these aprons from shirts. Your apron is very much like the ones I have made in the past. I did learn a few things from you and will incorporate in my next apron. I wear one whenever cooking. They are great as a part of a fund raiser, especially when the shirts did not cost you anything! I think making the apron from a loved ones shirt is a great gift. It’s like a memory apron vs a memory bear!
I like to use the back to cut a circle for a matching chef's hat, the band of which can be cut from the sleeves. This pairing makes for an unbeatable set! Very popular.
I made 6 of these for Christmas Gifts. So cute! Easy. I like to use binding instead of hemming, to me it looks more finished. Plenty of fabric using sleeves or back of shirt.
It's only bias binding if it is cut on the bias from yardage and then folded pressed and sewn. Using just any length of fabric risks uneven stretching and uneven wear.
There are several videos showing the apron coming from front fabric; would like to see a video using the BACK of the shirt, using the shoulder area/yoke as the top. (The only missing thing I saw in other videos was the front button down was permanently stitched closed with buttons not functioning anymore.)
Great tutorial! I just subscribed. Your hands look so young.....I've spent so much time on my face and neck but have neglected my hands; now they look much older than the rest of me. Yours are beautiful. Thanks for this tutorial. I saw some of these aprons at a craft show and wanted to make them. I'll have a hoot going through your previous videos. Blessings from WV!
That's the way I've made a couple. I just don't know how they come through the wash. There is still a raw edge next to the seam. Bias binding is a good idea.
Your camera is out of focus, maybe it has to do with the pattern of your fabric, I couldn’t even watch, it hurt my eyes. Too bad, you have an interesting project

My husband passed away.I am using his shirts for aprons.Thank you for the video.

Nice upcycle! I think one thing I would add is to sew up the button placket on the front
I like to make my ties from the sleeves and make them long enough to bring around and tie in the front. I use the back for a pocket all the way across the front dividing the pocket in thirds. I also use my serger.
I also use the sleeves to make the ties! I have used the last few inches of the sleeve including the cuff to make pockets. Cute!
i love the shirt pron. lost my husband i think they will be great gifts for daughters and granddaughter. thank you
I have used the sleeves for 7”pockets. Using the cuff as the top of the pocket. Cute. Thanks for the tutorial.
I make these to sell and use doilies, hankies, lace, buttons , yoyos etc to finish them. Super cute! Great tutorial.

I use the shirt cuffs for pockets.
Very informative and you did it slow so I could follow along very easily thank you
Thanks!!
I really enjoyed this video. You are an excellent instructor.
I would do Rick rack down the front or lace or some pretty additions to the apron. Thanks for your ideas
I used the sleeves to sew "double" pockets
Cute idea

Love the video! I have made a few of these aprons. I defiantly learned something from you and will use this new knowledge to make a better apron!
It's only bias binding if it is cut on the bias from yardage and then folded pressed and sewn. Using just any length of fabric risks uneven stretching and uneven wear.
I came here to say this. You can use bias tape for ties, but you can't make a strip of fabric into bias unless you cut it at an angle on the bias.
Love your directions because of arthritis I made my ties, tie in the front
Thanks!
I use a contrasting fabric for pockets. So cute
Very good idea certainly going to try it
I always like upcycling.
There are several videos showing the apron coming from front fabric; would like to see a video using the BACK of the shirt, using the shoulder area/yoke as the top. (The only missing thing I saw in other videos was the front button down was permanently stitched closed with buttons not functioning anymore.)
Loved this!!!
I am going to try
Thank you ! You make it look so easy. Very cute
Thank you! 😊

Thanks so much! I would love to see your aprons when you get them done!
Love this
Thanks!
THANK YOU!
You are welcome!
I use the back for another apron
I saw another video where she cut up the side on the back part close to the seam so you don't have to hem that section.
That's the way I've made a couple. I just don't know how they come through the wash. There is still a raw edge next to the seam. Bias binding is a good idea.
We call these adults bibs and make them
For nursing homes .
At the senior facility where I work a call them 'shirt protection ' instead of bib. Helps work self respect.
Not seem crease
Good idea, but your video was so out of focus or very fuzzy. It's difficult to watch ; I suggest redo the video😢
Apron without men’s collar. I have shirts with yellow collars I’d like to eliminate
So cute! and so stylish & easy!!
