1 Flannel Apron
Requirements:
- Old flannel shirt.
- Rotary cutter.
- Scissors
- Fabric glue.
- Ruler
Method:
- Cut off the sleeves of the flannel shirt using the rotary cutter.
- Cut along the seams on the side of the shirt to separate the front and the back torso. Cut around the collar but towards the back, so as to remove a section for slipping in the apron over your head. Ensure the collar remains intact.
- Fold the remainder of the sides, without the sleeves, using glue to form the definite shape of the apron.
- The upper-back section which has been cut off can be used to provide for the strings that fast the apron. Cut off two 2-inch-long strips of fabric from the removed section of the shirt.
- Where the shirt reaches your waist, cut two perpendicular and inch-long sections. This is where the strings shall be inserted, folded in, and glued.
- The same process can be performed on the other side as well to provide for a pair of knots to fast the apron.
- One can obviously make the strings as long as possible to fasten the knot tighter.

2 Pillow Case
Requirements:
- Pillow
- T-shirt
- Scissors
- Fabric marker
- Measuring tape
- Ruler
Method:
- Measure the length and width of the pillow with the tape.
- The t-shirt should obviously be larger in size than the pillow. Using the fabric marker, draw the dimensions of the pillow on the shirt. Add 2 inches gap to both sides and cut out the front and back of the t-shirt.
- If the pillow is rectangular or square in shape, it will benefit you to cut a 1 sq. inch section away from each of the corners of the shirt.
- Draw 4 dotted lines, 1 inch away from each side of the shirt. The dotted lines should meet at the corners.
- Cut ¼ inch strips that are parallel to the side of the shirt. Ensure that you do not cut the strips beyond the dotted lines.
- Take the pillow and place the front of the shirt on top, so as to align the almost-finished cover on top of the pillow.
- Take strips from the shirt to tie all the four corners to give the pillow cover a frilly look.
