Maternity Clothes and Birthday Party Aprons

I made this skirt a while ago, but I've loved it so much I just had to share. I found a tutorial (http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2010/03/refashioned-jeans-to-maternity-skirt.html)for making jeans into a maternity skirt. I used a pair of jeans that I found at a thrift store for $ and an old T-shirt. The project was simple, fast and turned out so well. The next day I made a pair of maternity pants out of an old pair I had sitting around. I don't think I will ever buy maternity pants/skirts again. It is so much cheaper to make them, and they fit better. Sorry, the pics are horrible. Peter is the worst photographer in the world, I think. I tried to take these myself which is almost as bad as having Peter take them. You get the idea though.




And here is a picture of the cute little aprons and chef hats I made for Laura's birthday party. I had so much fun making these up. I figure they were a pretty cheap party favor since I didn't have to buy anything and just used bright fabric scraps that were left over from making my birthday banner. My favorite is the one little boy's apron who got a jean pocket to make it more manly.
