Deconstructing An Apron

NO MATTER HOW CLOUDY A DAY IT IS, THE SUN ALWAYS SEEMS TO SNEAK UNDER THE CLOUDS AS IT RISES (like in this photo) AND AGAIN JUST AS IT SETS.

I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO FIND APRONS TO BUY THAT ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR ME.

I AM NOT A GREAT SEWER, BUT MAKING MY OWN SEEMS TO BE THE MOST OBVIOUS SOLUTION. 

MY FAVOURITE APRON HAS BEEN USED, WASHED, AND IRONED, INNUMERABLE TIMES AND THE FABRIC HAS FINALLY WORN THROUGH. 

I'VE NOW UNPICKED IT ALL AND AM HOPING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A PATTERN OFF IT.

I THINK I NEED TO FIND SOME THICK PAPER OR THIN CARDBOARD TO DO THAT.

AND THEN I'LL NEED TO FIND SOME SUITABLE FABRIC - UNLIKE MANY OF MY CRAFT-MINDED FRIENDS, I DON'T HAVE A FABRIC STASH I CAN TURN TO!
