Default Men's shirt apron

I have been wanting to try the apron made from a men's shirt that was posted on QB. I looked for a shirt that would go with my roll of Lime green seam binding that I found at the thrift store for $1.25. The link example had you just turning under the raw edges but I thought the seam binding would add a little stability to the edges. The little faux handkerchief detail is to cover a company name done in red embroidery above the pocket. I think it turned out well and I think I won't be running out of Lime green seam binding any time soon.

That is such a wonderful idea. Too cute with the bright lime green. The "hankie" is a perfect touch to cover the company logo! Nice, very nice.

Really cute! I wonder if these would sell at the craft fair next fall. Our church ladies are making things for it and I keep trying to find things that will sell. I made regular aprons before, and the wallhanging that's now my avatar. This year I thought I'd do a bunch of tissue holders and am crocheting dishcloths in the evening when I'm too tired to quilt.
