Fish Fry anyone??

What a WHIRL these last few days have been! I spent most of  Sat. night and yesterday recuperating.  I am happy to report that TODAY is a much better day(physically).  I was up late Friday working on some last minute projects to put out in a yard sale at my best friends. I lugged all of my "JUNK" over to her house Friday and we had a one day sale on Saturday! For a one day sale we did pretty good. :) YEAAAAA!!!!
Unfortunately very few people even asked about my work:(  But hey, it was a yard sale, after all. Not quite the setting for handmade goods!  SOOOOO, what did I have up for grabs?  Well, 
LET ME SHOW YOU!



Anyone in the MOOD for some FISH????  The denim here is RECLAIMED from a large pair of jeans. The fish print is RECLAIMED from a shower curtain. The light blue fabric(on the adult apron) is RECLAIMED from a sheet.
Total Cost to ME:
Thread & Time


   
NOT bad at all.  Don't you agree?? The great thing about this set is that it's more of a Unisex set, without the ruffles and "prettiness" of my other aprons. And, because the denim is such a nice weight, I did not have to line them. AND, I actually got to use a SERGER with this project......( my attempts at threading said serger is a WHOLE 'nother story girls!!!)
I see some Christmas gifts in the making, Don't YOU??? I've got a couple other projects(WELL, it is more than a couple)  I am working on, stay tuned for more adventure:)
I'm linkin up to   It' So Very Thrifty!



 
Hope you all had a wonderful, Peaceful weekend!!

  7. Great use of a pair of jeans! Yes, garage sale-ers rarely show interest in handmade goods.

    Keep up the good work!
