So my sister in law brought home all these men's and women's dress shirts. They were all way to big for me. SO i made aprons. That's me in the top pic.


 here is how ...look at your shirt and start cutting out your apron shape from the back of the shirt.
then cut strips 1-2 inch thick from the arm's, or from the front of the shirt. you will need a alot. to go around the edge of your apron and for your ties, which cris cross across the back. whoa that was a mouth full.
Then cut out the pocket from the front of the shirt, or you could cut out a different shape if you want.
Sew the ends of your strips together to make one long strip. then fold in half length wise and iron, then fold again and iron to create a bias tape. or at least i think its the same. we will go with that for now.
Sew just like bias tape around the edge of your apron.
with the left over "bias tape" make some loops for the top of your apron and for the sides. then take your two tie pieces and sew them closed, so there no open edge. place your loops on. Connect your straps to the top loops and there ya go.

I added some extra loops to the from to place spatulas or spoons. Also i added darts so it cover my sister in laws chest comfortably without that big gap up top.
to tie it you Cris cross over your shoulders and slip ties through side loops and then tie.
This is my sister in law. ain't she cute?
if you have any questions, please feel free to comment and ask. i know this isn't the greatest tutorial, i am still learning how to do this whole blog thing. i myself am still learning to sew, i must say i am truly grateful for all the sewing blogs. i learn something new all the time.

Water Density Experiment

                 Water Density Experiment                                                            Homeschooling is such a fun way to learn. There is so much freedom in how far we can take  an experiment or how long we can work on it. The other day my husband started to explain to our kids why oil doesn't mix with water. So today we experimented with water density. There are different versions of this experiment and this is how we did ours.   Things needed : Oil, water, salt, sugar, food coloring, clear glasses or jars,measuring cup. Here's what we did: Step one: Fill three clear jars half way each with warm water. ( Helps the salt and sugar dissolve)  Pour 1/2 cup of salt in the first jar and stir it to mix. Pour 1/2 cup of sugar in the second jar and stir to mix. Leave the third jar with plain fresh water. (Notice the salt in ours didn't fully dissolve but was still more dense then the others.) Step two: Pour 1/2 a cup of vegetable oil into ea
