Me and My Recycled Feed Bag Aprons

I have been busy lately sewing some of the plastic feed bag aprons.


They make great gardening aprons, dog bathing aprons, fish cleaning aprons, and around the farm aprons.




For guys or gals.(our oldest son)


You just wipe them clean and they are ready to go again. The tie straps are recycled nylon hay baling twine.
I sew all the edges and re-enforce where the straps are sewn on.


I thought I would give some for Christmas gifts.


and sell a few, hopefully!


I should have some for sale in a few days.




and maybe a couple of tote bags, also.


Have a great weekend!

Well, how creative! And I have been throwing the 44# dog feed sacks away!! Are the aprons made of plastic or what? I know old feed bags used to be cotton, but nowadays like the dog food bads, huh?

I love love my chicken apron that I bought--I do use it for washing the dog! And my granddaughter loves the chicken feed tote!

Please, please count me in for buying a fish (catfish if possible, something with MO on it even better) apron for my fisherman uncle!

And if you have a dog food one of some kind my dog trainer covets my chicken one so I know she would love it! I just love these!

Thank you for your nice comments about the aprons.
Joanna, I am putting one pocket on the front near the bottom. I don't want to cover up the hens picture on the top.

I appreciate all the encouraging words.

Oh.. 45+ and aspiring. I only have 1 catfish apron right now. Those bags are hard to come by.
I have another one that has Aquatic Feed on the front and it is a large apron.
Thanks.
Pam
