Scroll down to the bottom of this page for clever step-by-step instructions on how to convert an old shirt into a vintage-style apron.

Chekhov's Eco Tip Being of the feline persuasion, I find this tip loathsome, but humans can save some valuable acres of forest by eschewing bathroom paper towels after they wash their hands. (Hand dryers, with their warm, moist interiors, are bacteria breeding grounds, so I wouldn’t use those either.) Simply flick the water from your hands onto your face—it’ll wake up your skin and hydrate it at the same time.

    In Japan, we have to carry around mini-towels for use in the bathroom. I like this system.

    What I don’t like: there’s usually no soap in the bathroom. yuck!

    Yep–I dry my hands first on my face and then in my hair.

    It’s such a simple apron, but it’s a great design. Thanks for sharing.
