That is great upcycling, recycling and crafting, Nancy.
Here is something I found interesting - a shapely, cute apron that looks like a 1950s apron BUT it is only made of rectangles.
Shapely "flip-the-collar" apron that is really just made of rectangles, no pattern. Watch the lady as she puts it on near the end, about minute 25:30, to see how she flips the top behind her neck and makes the cute collar/bodice. Can be stored flat.
I never really thought an apron could be much of a gift to make assembly-line, but this one might do it. The hardest part would be the round neckline, and that's just quick cutting and adjusting the bias tape slowly. You could do a completely different pocket(s) if you wanted.
Not in English, but there are measurements given in large print on the screen with the centimeter tape very visible. After you made one, you'd get a feel for how the measurements should be increased for larger or taller people.
