What's your favourite Quick + Easy project to make when you don't have a lot of time? I'm compiling a list for our classroom 😊

I am so excited to share the end result of my "upcycled" apron. I tweaked the apron to be a bit more versatile for our specific needs. This is what I have changed: 1. I didn't use the elastic in the neckband because I didn't have enough and the shops are closed by the time I get home from work. 2. I made an unisex apron, so I left out the ruffle as it gives a feminine look and without it my husband can use it too. 3. I added a pocket only on the one side, then you have the option if it's needed and the beautiful pictures on the one side aren't hidden. 4. I improvised and added 2 "loops" on both sides of the apron. You can clip a lighter or bottle opener to the apron as well as slide a braai tong through the bigger loop.
