What's cookin' Good Lookin?

Thanksgiving is coming. That means cooking. The only holiday that is solely centered around FOOD. And what we are thankful for. And I guess that's food and our loved ones to share it with us. We are planning our menus, our shopping, our guest list, our activities. It seems to be the forgotten holiday, between Halloween, that has become so huge and people don't take the skeletons down til February, and Christmas, which starts in the stores the day after Halloween. Sheesh.

At any rate....

The project of the day is~

A Manly Manly apron, from a man's shirt for our favorite man who is cooking for Thanksgiving!

 

You will need:

 a man's shirt (large or X large is best) Get a nice one from the local thrift shop.

scissors, and sewing machine

 

You will be cutting the back off the shirt, leaving the collar. From the extra fabric you will cut two straps for the waist ties.

 

Hem the edges, fold and sew the two side ties and attach to the side of the apron.

And voila, you have a cool apron any guy will be happy to wear. A hawaiian shirt would be fun to use, or any funky 'guy' print.

You can use the extra fabric from the back of the shirt for future (or past) projects.

 

Tip of the day:

If you eat too much on Thanksgiving, and have that "way too full" feeling...sleep on your right side. Because that eases the stomach, not stresses it.

 

That's all for now!
