So I had this grand plan that I was going to cut up vintage tablecloths and make my kitchen curtains. A lady from church gave me all sorts of cloths, and as I sat down in my bedroom floor (with measurements) to get started, I found I couldn't do it! I just couldn't cut those old tablecloths. I didn't have a clear idea of how I wanted to do it, all I knew was that I wanted lots of color to tie in with my Fiestaware. Instead, I went downstairs and tried the tablecloths on my table...Jaymie and I saw these aprons at Pier One the other evening, and I just couldn't stop thinking about how they would make cute little valances. So I went and picked them up tonight. After about 30 seconds of hanging, this is what I have. I like it. It is colorful. I didn't have to cut tablecloths (so I can use them as they were intended if I choose). I didn't have to sew (just learning...not very good). It is done. They are FUN. They were cheap. So there you have it. And I can always "borrow" one if I feel funky and in the mood to wear one while I cook!
