Hand painted apron design

My latest creative endeavor, 

hand painting a piece of Belgium fabric, 

and creating a new apron design.

I pulled out my Plaid Fabric Paints and custom mixed 

some fun colors to embellish the graphics.

It was just a remnant of fabric, so perfect placement

 wasn't an option. I did find a scrap of brown pinwale corduroy

 that was perfect for lining.

 It's super comfortable and an easy peasy pattern.

Appliquéd upcycled apron

Airbnb gifted me with a simple canvas apron 

as a thank you, for being one of their super hosts.

Yay!

I loved the apron, but no offense, I wasn't thrilled with the graphics.

So I rummaged through my stash of fabulous embroidered fabrics,

and hand-cut several designs out to fit over the original graphics.

Then appliquéd them in place, and added an extra piece

 at the pocket, just for fun and balance!

Upcycling, at its best!
