Superhero Aprons

My sister earlier this summer asked me about some cute apron ideas for her cooking class. She teaches Family and Consumer Sciences at a high school. She had quite a few old and ripped old aprons she thought we could up-cycle and repair for some neat ones. I found just thousands of cool ideas on Pinterest.

Like these:

Originally on Etsy, but cannot find the original link.

This next is from a website called so-sew-easy.

Here are what I came up with.

Black Widow, you can see my sketches on the upper right.

Superman, Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America, and Batman.

I used regular pre-made aprons, and used a bunch of bias tape, and wonder under, and then satin stitched applique´ around the wunder-under'ed pieces. I painted on some parts, like the wonder woman stars and the black widows silver belt.

My sister really liked the designs and I hope her students do as well.

So, I had this large empty space in my kitchen. I felt like my kitchen was kind've dark. Not much natural light.

 I thought it would be neat to have one of those stained glass mirrors.

But those are around $200-$300.

So, I tried to find some other mirrors. I tried to figure any way around getting the light I wanted, but without the huge costs.

I finally gave up on finding nicely framed mirrors, and just decided to go with cheap wall mirrors. I bought a can of frost spray paint, and a few rolls of painters tape.

 I used little cut out pieces of contact paper for the diamonds. Not sure why I didn't do the same design on all of them. I couldn't decide.

In place. They looked a bit too busy for me. But I got used to it.

It barely illuminated the space, but my husband actually liked it. So I went for it.
