In our younger years, we spent almost every night of the week at the local concert hall photographing bands as they came through town. It was a fantastic job and we built a killer t-shirt collection along the way, but one can only own so many t-shirts before they consume your closet. Instead of having them collect dust, we're excited to give them new life in the kitchen instead.
Disney over at Ruffles and Stuff has been hard at work hacking t-shirts into totally fun and funky aprons. The best part is, you know they can do straight into the wash and will clean right up. Each one requires minimal sewing and could even be done without the aide of a machine.
You use one whole t-shirt from start to finish, though long sleeved versions could provide longer, double wrap straps! Check out the full step-by-step tutorial over at Ruffles and Stuff!

Is it wrong to be mildly offended by a spammer's sexist comment? Am I more or less offended by this than by the actual practice of spamming? I don't knowwwww! Hee.
Now. I have never seen the point of a half apron (can one's top half not also get splattered? more often, in some cases?), but could see making a full-length version. I don't know that I'd choose a knit, though, especially one that I could leave in its arguably more useful form, a shirt. You want a half apron, grab a half-yard of woven fabric (perhaps an old pillowcase?) and save yourself some hassle.
I have that cookbook sitting in my shelf :)
