ReFashion half finished prom dress to "I Love Lucy" swap apron/ Blog Giveaway

I have been so busy sewing I have not had time to post..New to this blogging world and I am just not very good at the picture taking yet.I don't know what I am doing wrong. Anyway over at my blog I have the story of how this apron came to be and pics. www.greenhoneyhive.blogspot.com .(New member free gift giveaway on my blog) It started as a prom dress that I found in the bottom of a clean box of scrap and half finished sewing projects someone had put at the curb for the Salt Lake City annual large item trash pick-up......Just an FYI, since I am no longer nursing my mother-in-law our blog will be having daily posts on our crafty life and of our business of taking wood and discarded furniture from this pick-up and re-working and re-making and selling them locally. Anyway here is the prom dress pic. Just a strapless number that had never had the zipper put in it or finished....It was white with no spots at all. I cut about 8" off the bottom, and then cut a new v- neck and cut it into an apron shape that would tie to the back and curve up the back to give it some sass. I used material leftover from a pioneer pantaloon and corset cover project to make the ruffle/flounces that were cut on the bias so it would flounce without to much gather.....Too many layers to gather it too much or it would have looked poofy not flouncy. I then finished all the flounce edges with premade bias tape from my stash and used it for the neck ties and back waist ties.....The actual apron went together very quickly but sewing all that bias tape together to get the ties took some serious time......I think my tribute to "I Love Lucy" and the Carmen Miranda episode turned out pretty sassy and cute.
