I have a Japanese in-law who keeps gifting me gigantic boxes of cast-off clothes. She's convinced I can turn anything into a quilt. Her confidence is a bit over zealous, though. Nope, flimsy, transparent, polyester dresses or the like just don't make good quilting material!
But, I did discover this front and back to something that was never completed inside her most recent box of stuff. It was way too small for me but I wondered if it could be turned into an apron for my granddaughters...
I stitched together the 2 fabric pieces and gave it armholes, an easy open neckline, and a hem. It was blah looking, though. The armholes seemed overly large, too.
I decided to add on a pocket and some tie-strings. The box held some red fabric and I looked through my fabric stash and decided that I might finally be able to use the animal print piece of fabric I'd purchased some years ago.
Voila!
Granddaughter loved the piece so much she wanted to wear it as a dress!
