easy no-sew garden utility apron

I saw the coolest video about a no-sew garden apron on CHOW.

I immediately had to make one, so I took photos to show you how to make one too!

First you find an old pair of jeans: 

Now cut off the legs all the way across(front and back).

Turn them over and cut below the waistband and down the seam on each side.

TA DA….you have an apron, ready to wear!

 Put it around your waist and snap or button, then fill the pockets

with your garden tools and go play : )

I suppose you could embellish it with fabric or lace, but this one

will stay as it is and I am ready to put it to work on this beautiful Spring day.

How was that for a quick and easy project….

As I have mentioned before, one of my favorite things to do(besides quilting) is to work in my garden.

I feel like gardening is so good for the soul…digging in the dirt, breathing the fresh air,

hearing all the lovely outdoor sounds!  Well, I have joined a Virtual Garden Club and

thought some of you might be interested too : )

(I have added the VGC badge to the right, check it out!)

I started out my morning at a community garden close by my home.  It is always fun

to see what is happening there, and today there were 10 caterpillars on the fennel.

It is a great group of fellow gardeners, both old and new to gardening.  I found
it through the Urban Neighbors OKC Association.  It is fun to garden with
new friends, and I am unable to grow vegetables in my shady yard, so
I am blessed to have this community garden so close to my home!

Here are a few pictures that I have recently taken in my yard:

Black Pearl pepper

Hope you had a chance to enjoy a little nature today : )
