Trash to Treasure

This is "literally" a trash to treasure project! A few weeks ago my two outside dogs dragged this old nail apron into my yard. They probably snatched it from one of the neighbors (hopefully they are not reading this). But anyway being the frugal person I am I did not throw it away thinking I could do something with it. And today while bundling my tansy up to sell I thought it would make a perfect wall pocket........minus the blue Lowe's logo of coarse. The same thing can be done with a new nail apron just stain it up really good.
Cut a piece of calico large enough to cover the logo........................
Pin in place...................................


And hand sew on with some button thread.


Ta Da......................a rescued nail apron!
