Man's shirt purchased for $1.99 at Thrift store.

Sleeves and back of shirt removed. Back of shirt used to make lower pockets and ties for apron. Raw edges finished off. 

That's it ***

Shirt Bleaching and Shirt Apron

 

Last year ( 3-24- 2022) I bought two "flannel' shirts from the thrift store. I was impressed with the bleached flannel shirts that were all the craze.

Mistake Number 1, it isn't flannel. The bleach caused the fabric to become weaker. The other shirt (not shown) turned out better. From my profile you know I recycle and upcycle. I'll see what I can do with it before I throw it away. Sooo, contrary to what I said above I tucked it away.

Then I saw this;

I've needed another craft apron for some time. This will be perfect. Getting paint on it will only add to it's character. 

BTW- Finding a REAL flannel shirt is pretty difficult. They don't make them the way they used to.

That's it***
