Mother's Day (pillowcase) ApronTutorial

Here's a quick & easy gift you can whip up for your mom or a friend!

Start with a standard size pillowcase...

(I used a flannel one this time)

Lay down the pillowcase and fold up the bottom of the shorter side about 7".

 Then, flip the pillowcase over and fold up another 7" segment...

...creating three layers.

 Stitch around the two sides and the bottom going through all three layers.

Now mark the center of the apron from the bottom to the top of the 

newly made pocket section and stitch up this line...again going through

all three layers. 

This will create the two pockets.

Choose a trim or ribbon for the tie and cut a 2 yd. piece.

 Center the trim and sew it to the top edge of the apron.

 And there you have your apron!

Easy Peasy!

I added a couple of buttons to the front of the pockets....

But you can embellish it however you would like.

I was reminded of this wonderful apron idea at Betz White where
she has some fabulous craft ideas and tutorials!
My mom used to make these aprons years ago too!

Stay Cozy,
