All you need is a T-shirt, scissors, thread/needles, and some pins. Doesn’t get much more economical than that! I love this repurpose idea because I tend to hold unto old t-shirts for an absurd amount of time. Like, nearly a decade (eek!).
How about an easy square no sew apron option?
Check out this version by A Beautiful Mess; simple, clean and easy!
A square apron is made from a square piece of fabric. Which makes it SUPER simple to make, but you can change the size of the square depending on your height and desired fit.

Time for a Quickie? Here’s a Pillowcase Apron
Check out this idea by PhotoSarah Crafts. Sarah took a nicely patterned pillowcase, made a few cuts and made a great looking apron.
I used the open end of the pillowcase for the bottom hem of the apron. It only took two cuts to go from pillowcase to apron shape. I cut off the top two corners and turned the edges under and pinned them in place. Then I seam-ripped along the straight edges on the top and sides to make openings for the straps. After pinning the straps in place, I topstitched around all the edges, securing the turned under parts, the straps and the open bottom of the pillowcase.
