About three years ago I had seen a darling apron made from vintage pillowcases. I put the image into my style file and there it sat until this last weekend.
In cleaning out my sewing closet I came across my great grandmothers handiwork and decided that there would never be a better time than the present to create my own apron. I decided to videotape my efforts so that I could create a tutorial for you.

Here is a close up of the lace covered waistband.
I love the soft gathers on each row.
Do you have a few pillowcases that you could repurpose?
Happy sewing!
