Sew an apron using an old spring jacket and greet the neighbours in style at your backyard BBQ party!

Supplies:
1 spring jacket (with detachable belt)

Step 1: Cut off the jacket at the waist so that you are left with the “skirt.” Leave the belt and belt loops intact.

Step 2: Trim off the (front) panels of the jacket, ensuring the apron will fit around your body.

Step 3: Finish the top edges of the “skirt,” as well as the side seams.

Step 4: Fold back a ½” (2 cm) seam allowance and stitch down to create a finished edge.

Step 5: Feed the belt through the belt loops and use as apron ties.
