Thanks for the great tutorial! I had to make 12 aprons this week for a dance performance and was able to whip them out over a couple days. Super easy directions and I love the way you make the band - works really well.
Awesome! You are so welcome!
This video was GREATLY appreciated!! We have Wurst fest coming up and I couldn’t find an apron I liked. All the tutorials I could find were so complicated, I nearly threw in the towel. I found this video and (5 hrs later… operator error) now have a beautiful apron to wear with my Dirndl! Thank you again! 🖤
Wonderful. You are so welcome
Gorgeous ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Great project. I loved it. :)
Thank you! 😊
This is almost identical to the apron I learned to sew in 7th grade home ec class! The memories… It’s a shame that neither of my children were taught any of this in school. The high school I taught in for 30+ years removed its machines years ago
I know it is so sad to think they don't teach this skill anymore in schools. That's where it all began for me!
This is how I was taught. Nice demonstration! I prob would just do top stitch and use a 1/4 or .5 inch seam..
Great idea!
In a 7th grade art class ages ago, we turned this farmhouse kitchen-style into couture-class, layered tulle cocktail and dinner party aprons.
It was very easily done with several yards of designer tulle remnants gathered into beautiful bouffant aprons.
The densely gathered tulle aprons were invisibly machine-sewn into foldover bowtie sashes made from wide grosgrain ribbon in complementary colors.
Some of us made elaborate beaded and sequinned felt appliques for the tulle skirts. Beautiful unadorned gift aprons were quickly made from ombre layers of matte or iridescent tulle.
Recipients loved them. They looked very expensive and were always admired worn over silk and velvet hostess skirts.
How wonderful.
i needed a simple gathered half apron, but the ones at the store were too expensive, so i opted to make my own, but i had never sew a stich in my life. but i tried anyways and i was shocked with how well it turned out! it was incredibly easy to follow the instuctions and it was just so great.
Awesome. You go girl. So glad it was helpful. Keep it up my friend.
I’ve made a bunch of these years ago but I didn’t quite remember how. Great video reminder.
Awesome! Thank you!
My daughter in law wants me to teach her how to sew an apron and I'm a new sewer myself. I had no idea how to do pleats so thank you for this tutorial.
You are so welcome!
Looks fairly easy
Yes, it is.
adorable!
Thank you
Clever with the tape!
Thank you
I love it! I wish the camera could come in a little closer. Thank you 😊
thanks for your feedback!
I am teaching myself to sew in my mid 50's. I avoided Home Ec. in school and focused on music. Anyway, you are one of my two go to's for sewing videos. I love your straightforward tutorials. They are easy to follow and you explain the why...I will be attempting to sew one of these aprons in the next few weeks.
I love your technique and your voice is soothing, I find most teachers have harsh voices, yours is a pleasant to the ear. Thanks so much ❤
you are so king
I think it's great you started sewing, yay! Let me know how sewing the apron went.
Enjoyed your tutorial and your teaching method! Question: Is there a way to calculate how wide to cut the apron if making for a larger person?
BEE-utiful Jan!! Great tutorial, very thorough! I'm sharing this with my friends in a upcoming FB Group Challenge. Hopefully you will get more subbies.Happy Spring my Sweet Friend.. Positive Blessings, vibes peace, health and happiness! Namesta ✌️🐞🕉️
Ah, thanks so much Lala. What a fun idea for a challenge. You'll have to let me know how it goes. Thanks for all your support and kindness!!! Namaste.
So much easier than the pattern explanation
A video is always helpful.
Thank you, so easy to understand and follow.
I need help to make a dog training bag with an insert with a draw string on the lining oh also a zipper in the front of bag. Can you help.
Blessings Anna Nickel
Sounds like a great idea. I don't have any patterns or tutorials for that type of thing. If you crochet, I do have a chalk bag that a lot of folks make for training bags for their dogs. Here is the link if you are interested. youmakeitsimple.com/product/rock-climbing-chalk-bag-crochet-pattern/
Could you do a video on a farmhouse apron or pinafore apron, cross back apron
great idea. I do have this full size pattern tutorial. th-cam.com/video/6_uX1nQHTFE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p87bqb0BegaSaAv1
This is so cute! I'm a beginner sewer. Do you know if this could be used as a garden harvest apron, or would something need adjusting for more heavy duty use? Thanks for the great videos!
Yes you can! But I have another tutorial and video showing how to make a utility apron. If you make the utility apron, you could make fewer and wider pockets and also make them deep for harvesting. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/TILa22iriD4/w-d-xo.html
@@JanHowell Ooh thank you so much! I saw that video, but didn't realize it could be adapted! Thank you :)
Ready to sew mine. Are the ties the same length and width for the children's size? I adjusted the apron fabric, per your measurements, but what about the ties?
They are the same width, but I would take 6 inches off the length.
@@JanHowell thanks for your reply!
Did you run two rows of basting to do the gathering.
Yes, sometimes I'll even do three rows if it is a long piece of fabric.
How do I download and print the pattern? thankyou. Subscribed

Cute apron! Only one question?
Does a half apron suffice for anything but a serving, hostess apron? I would definitely get spills and spatters on my clothing above the half apron’s coverage. Therefor, I always sew full coverage apron styles!
@Carolynn Scoffield I agree with you. I would also need a full apron, the good thing is that she also has a tutorial for them.
Half aprons are good for wiping hands while cooking, serving and hosting. But I do agree, I prefer a full apron as I tend to splatter things all down the front of me while cooking. I do love the looks of a half apron at times. I have a tutorial for a reversible full apron if you're interested. th-cam.com/video/6_uX1nQHTFE/w-d-xo.html
I love this floral fabric, do you have the name of it?
It's a Waverly fabric from Joann's. Not sure of the name.
Love the pattern and am making a child's size. What size is the width of the child's apron?
thanks. Chile apron 21 x 16 inches, ties 36 x 5 inches
@@JanHowell Sorry, I wasn't clear in my question. AFTER you even out all the ruffles, what size is the cild's apron before attaching the strings? Thank you!
🥰
I would have liked to seen a better view of the apron you just finished, maybe next time. Also I will be making a couple for Christmas, thank you.
Thanks for the feedback.
Can you add pockets?
absolutely. I show how on this tutorial.
th-cam.com/video/6_uX1nQHTFE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CqwOw5OhjwW1jyIK
Where did you get your iron from
It's a Panasonic cordless iron geni.us/CjjbxhW
How would I put pockets on it?
This apron video shows how to sew a pocket. You can do it the same way.
Hi, hello I'm Watching, mama Sofia
wonderful
It's a great video but I don't understand the measurements. Is the width of the fabric 44" ? What is the length?
Yes, correct. It's 45 inches. the length is 20 inches.
Thankyou 🙂
If it's got to be 44 inch that's more than a yard a yard is 36 inches so I'd need more than a yard to make a apron plus more cloth for the band and ties
44 inches wide which is selvage to selvage and the yard is along the selvage. I hope that makes sense.
I like the idea, but how can you put your hands in the pocket??? The separations are so narrow 🤔
How can I use an old shirt I dont wanna get rid of to this apron? Like its an old concert shirt. How can I get that on top of this fabric you are using? I am a beginner so I do not know correct terminology
Is the shirt knit fabric?
Just a basic concert tshirt material.
Hi, if you cut off the sleeves and the back of shirt leaving the collar intact to still pull over your head. You can use the remaining back for the apron and waist ties. Use 1/4 in seam allowance to clean up edges. You'll need ballpoint needle for easier sewing.
Hello Ma'am
First time I saw your video, I liked your teaching, I am from India.
Somewhere I confused as you didn't show text.
Somewhere difficult to understand ascent.
How much length you taken for this half appron.
I noticed your text where you mentioned 40 × 20" .
So that means you taken:
Length 20" and
Gathere 40"
Is it my understanding correct or not.
When I see more and more your videos I will understand properly.
Thank you.
Sorry about that. Yes, gather till it measure 20 inch.
Thanks for your feedback
Can't wait to try this, tyvm 🩷
