Yard sale dress into two aprons

So I love yard sales.  Sometimes i'll see things I really don't need/ have use for but buy them anyway.  This dress was one of them.  It was nwt and 25 cents....plus it was black and pink and ruffly!!.....but I knew I'd never actually wear it as a dress....but I could turn it into something useful....like an apron!  As I started cutting it apart, I realized I could make it into two.  I can't give you exact instructions but I thought posting this might give others some inspiration to re-make something, other wise headed to the garbage, into something useful!!  Here is the dress:

I then cut down the side seams and ended up sewing the front tow panels together back wards, taking the collar, cutting it off and sewing it around the new collar.  I took the belt off, cut it in half and used it as apron strings.  I used a lot of the original edges so it wasn't too much sewing.  It looks huge but I spread it out to show the detail.  It turned out like this:

I then had the back panel left.  It looked like a small apron, but I had no belt left, so I had to add ribbon for the belt and neck loop but it turned out like this:

It's a lot smaller than the first and definitely for a small person or child but at least I didn't let anything go to waste!  This is all I had left over from the original dress (and I had to add ribbon to finish the second apron)

So.....get creative with something today!!! cut it up, sew it, embellish it, and have fun! :)
