To sew a beautiful and functional apron from old jeans with your own hands, you will need:

• old denim pants;

• sewing machine.

The entire creative process of sewing a new product is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Carefully cut off the top of the jeans.
2. We begin to manufacture ties and finishes. To do this, cut off the long strips from the bright cotton fabric, fold them in half in length and iron them.
3. Fabric for the manufacture of frills should be picked up and attached to the main fabric with the help of special pins or sweep with a large seam. Such actions will help to neatly stitch the fabric on the machine.
4. A second jeans leg can be used to make the top of the apron.
5. From cotton fabric we make blanks for apron ties, bait them. Sew the obtained inlay on the sewing machine in a straight line, leaving a piece of ribbon for the tie on the workpiece. We do the same on the other hand.
6. Carefully rip off the old pocket or pockets from the rest of the jeans, bait on a new product. Having noticed the pockets with a sewing machine, we sew them in a straight line.
7. With a straight line, gently connect the upper and lower parts of the apron.

Important! Ready-made denim kitchen apron can be decorated in any way, for example, embroidery or sequins.
