Introduction: Say Goodbye T-shirt and Hello Apron (with Just a Pair of Scissors)!
Imagine...with just a few snips you can be wearing your favorite t-shirt as a functional apron each time you work on an instructables project.
Step 1: Create the Apron Neckline
*Cut from the front of the armpit, around the collar, and back down the front of the other armpit.
*If there is anything on the back of the t-shirt that you want to save, trim it out now.
Step 2: Create the Apron Strings
*Turn the t-shirt over to the back and starting at the bottom center, cut a "V" to within 3" of the armpit.
*Remove the sleeves, being careful to not cutting beyond the seam.
*Next, cut 3" up from the bottom center and then follow the line of the earlier cut creating a 2-3" wide ribbon up to where the sleeve was attached.
*Turn the t-shirt back to the front.
Step 3: Tidy Up If Desired
*Notice how the strings are bumpy at the top. Feel free to round them with the scissors.
*This is also a great time to enlist a friend (with a sewing machine or access to stitch witchery) to attach any portion of the t-shirt that you saved in Step 1.
Now go out there and make something in your sweet apron!

Thank you so much for this instructable, the resulting apron is PERFECT for me to use at work! Now I need a few more...
I am so glad that you found it useful...you made my day!
Ah...hadn't thought of that. It would be great in hiding non-flattering flaws ;-)
That is awesome! I'd actually wear that to the beach as a summer cover up too...!
