How to find cheap fabric

Hey there! This post is all about fabric!!!!! I went to the thrift store the other day and found a yard of white satin for $1.99 and a twin size sheet for $1.99. THAT"S A LOT OF FABRIC! And I am not done! I went garage saling and found 2-3 yards of this cool brown flowery looking material for $1.00! Here it is:

But that's not all! While I was garage-saling I also found a hand made quilt for $1.00! Here it is:

Isn't it pretty!! Well anyways I have so much fabric now and I don't know what to do with it! Here is even more fabric that I have but that is only like 1/4 of all the fabric I have in this GIANT bin.

If you have any ideas at all of what I can do with all this fabric PLEASE put it in comments.

How to make a full length apron

Here is how to make a simple full length apron. All it is is a bunch of rectangles sewn together so it's super easy. You could even do it by hand if you wanted to. Also, the dress underneath it is the same thing as the red one I posted before. (I wore it so I could show you. :-)

STEP 1
First off cut out all your pieces. Apron body (Cut 1): W 35" by L 30" Apron Chest (Cut 2): W 11" by L 12" Shoulder Straps (Cut 2): W 4" by L 20" Tie (Cut 2): W 4" by L 80"
W= Width   L= Length

STEP 2
Now we are going to prepare our pieces. Hem one width and both lengths of your apron body and gather the unhemmed side. With right sides together sew both lengths of your apron chest together and turn right side out. Turn the length sides in about a half an inch of your shoulder straps and fold in half. Sew along the edge.\

 STEP 3
Take your apron chest and fold under a half an inch of one of the widths. Pin each should strap to either side of the folded down side and stitch from one end to the other securing shoulder straps in place and "top-stitching" the center.

STEP 4
Matching the centers of your apron chest and one of the ties sew with right sides together. Do the same with the gathered side of your apron body. With right sides together sew the shoulder straps to the tie you just used about 5 or 6 inches away from the apron body.

STEP 5
Press down all the sides of your second tie about .5 an inch and pin to the wrong side of the tie that is sewn to the apron chest and body. Sew the edges all the way around.

Try it on to make sure it fits okay and you have a lovely full-length apron!
