Recycled kitchen wear

For Christmas, I repurposed clothing and vintage linens into apron for my extended family. Here is a shot of my brother's family, wearing their new aprons.

These are my headless parents. My mother's apron is from the other pant leg from a pair of $2 linen pants from a thrift store. My dad is a former sugar beet farmer for the now-defunct Manitoba Sugar, so this sugar sack was the basis for his apron.

oops. that should say tea towel.

My nieces got handknit leg warmers and wristers (arm warmers?) from my mom. Both of them have learned how to knit on four needles in the last few months, so they were clicking away on the couch after the family Christmas dinner.

My mother decided to pass on goodies from her house. I got some antique milk bottles and framed photos, and this linen tea towel I got her in 1977, just when she started quilting. It's going to be part of the linen quilt made from tea towels and tablecloths.

My friend Heather gave me this kit of Japanese fabrics. thanks so much!
