My corporate attorney attire never failed me...Black Linen Dress, No Frills, Easy to Wear, Professional, Comfortable...and Topped with a Black Blazer...Powerful!


Kind of like Wearing Armor...but in Linen. :)


And Now Saying Farewell to the Law and On to New Adventures...A Café of my own!

It is Time to Donate All the Corporate Clothes...


A great basic black linen dress...very reasonable...on Amazon... LINK.

BUT I really do Love this Linen Dress...A Simple Makeover is In Order...


Let's Create a So Sew Easy...Linen Chef Apron!


Ready - Let's Go!

How to Make a Linen Chef Apron:


Step 1: Cut the Back of the Dress...From Collar to Hem. After the first cut, there's no going back...

Step 2: Add Double Fold Bias Tape to the Split Back Sides.


Double Fold Bias Tape...Amazon LINK.

The double fold bias tape is easy to use...is very forgiving and makes everything look professional.

Step 3: Add Ribbon Ties at the Neckline to tie the apron.


Pink/White Gingham 5/8 Ribbon...Amazon LINK.

The double fold bias tape will finish the cut edges of the open-back apron.

Step 4: At the hem, fold under the double fold bias tape for a clean. finished edge.


That's It! Done!

Ready to Get Cooking!

Easy, Breezy, and Fun...


The apron is ankle length - good overall coverage.

From the Courtroom to the Kitchen...Let's Get Cooking!

The Apron can Slip over the head without untying the ribbons.
