Here is an idea to upcycle a mans dress shirt....

I used a pattern for a tabard style apron [thifted] to turn a mans dress shirt into an apron. It would be great for crafting and painting as well as it really covers you up. I turned the cuff part of the sleeve into pockets, they are really roomy.

I love that idea. As a painter I have to use a cover or end up with paints all over myself. Thank you for posting it.

Great idea - when my kids were little the teachers asked for one of Dad's old shirts that they could use as cover ups when painting and crafting, but I think I may like this idea better.
