Blue Plaid X Ray Big Pocket Pinafore Apron (2X-4X)

I support blue as an honorary Halloween color. This one is quite unique, like an electric cobalt but not too bright?

Upcycled from:

• a Sonoma brand cotton flannel shirt (well worn, no holes but soft and lived-in)
• a cotton corduroy shirt for the side pieces and pinafore (also not perfect)
• 100% cotton skeleton x-ray fabric from my Halloween stash for the pockets and waistband
• secondhand cotton interfacing to strengthen waistband
• new 100% cotton twill tape for the ties, and to reinforce pocket edges
  

Any corners on the apron, such as the pocket edges, are reinforced with tack stitches. 

No waste here, all parts of the materials have either been used, or will be used in future projects. Not an inch of thread goes to the landfill.

In order to reduce waste, I make each apron specifically to fit the available material(s), so they will all be slightly different sizes. The ties make them adjustable, but they are not exactly one-size-fits-all. 

The given size range is an estimate based on several size charts, and those sizes would best fit the specific apron with modest coverage and a gap at the back. So if you are outside of those given sizes, expect more or less coverage from the apron (i.e. it may wrap around like a skirt if larger, or it may just cover the front if smaller.)

Use these measurements if you are unsure - they are the measurements of the actual apron, not body measurements.

MEASUREMENTS:

Waistband: 32 in
Length of apron skirt: 31 in
Length of ties: 70 in each
Pinafore length x width: 8x10.5 in

(For reference, my waist in the photo was around 27 in)

(Phot note: some images of the blue flannel have a reddish tint in the center, this is a camera glitch, not fading).
