Reversible Bandana Apron

Last Updated on January 18, 2016 by Babita

Did you know the word bandanna was derived from Hindi language?  Its derived from the word “bandhana”  which literally means “to tie”. The Dollar stores carry a variety of bandanas in all different colors, usually with paisley prints. Some stores will have the cotton variety, while others have the polyester ones. I wanted to transform these bandanas into something totally different, so I tried to make a reversible half apron from the them.

I got two different bandanas (orange & pink color) and sewed them wrong sides together. Kept a 3″ opening on the top. Reversed them to the right sides from the 3″ opening.

Cut up the third bandana (blue – for contrast) on a bias into 3″ strips .  Sewed the blue strips together to make one long strap (I apologize, I did not measure them).  Finally I sewed the blue strap on to the main body of the orange & pink bandana and finished it. Check out the pics and let me know if you like them.  I only wished I had photographed them better.
