There was a quick-looking idea recently on qb or another site; an apron made from a man's shirt. The picture showed you just cut it into an apron-shape with the buttons intact, and decorate. That would be very inexpensive, and easy. I tried it briefly, and just laid an apron over the top of a man's shirt and marked it and cut. Wasn't hard, or I couldn't have done it! The finished one was very clever!! Mariah
