I had the best time with this project!  After seeing the videos and looking at Shaunn's creative slant, I slightly modified my project as well.  I used the button hole on my jeans as a fastener for the neck loop.  The end piece from the hem of the jeans was bulky enough to act as a button.  The width of the apron is perfect for painting, but I would like to make another from wide leg jeans for cooking.   I loved your idea and tutorial Jen!
