For a “not a seamstress” person, this was perfectly understandable! Thank you!
Thank you :)
You did a great job and owe no one any apology! I've been a professional seamstress and quilter for 45 years and I couldn't be prouder of the job you did. I love this design and will be making this apron very soon. Thank you for your willingness to share and for showing in detail how you made your apron. I hope others are inspired by this simple project .
Thank you!
You did a great job
I agree with the lady with a lot of experience. We all have to start somewhere. You did a great job explaining and demonstrating different steps. I don't have a huge among of experience but would have had more years of sewing if I had not been intimidated by people around me that were experts. You go girl !!!!!
How do I sign up for your blog
@@phillisvance243 go to her website. She shared the link in the video description (arrow beside the video title)
Seriously, where have you been my whole life? Why do you seem to have no dust anywhere in your home and everything look so comfortable and inviting? Everyone wishes that they had a friend like you! Watching you is like a nice visit, especially during this social distancing nightmare, Thank You so much. God bless you! I cannot wait to watch more.
LOL, thank you!
My thoughts too!
My thoughts exactly!
I agree! You seem so nice!!
She is amazing! This was so easy and she has a great personality 🎉
I've been sewing for 3 decades, your tutorial was thorough and absolutely wonderful!! You are a wonderful teacher!!
For the duck fabric or decor fabric, a denim needle will help to sew through multiple layers. Love this tutorial from a woman who claims she's not a seamstress. Maybe not, but you used common sense and made a great how-to for beginners and experienced sewists. Thank you!
Constance, I AM a seamstress (or sewist as they now call us ;) ), and you did a FAR better job at teaching how to make your beautiful apron than I ever could!
Thank you so much Laurie, that truly means a lot! I had not heard the term “sewist” before LOL.
@Nancy Hollo would that make a male a Tailor?
@@msaks61 Tailor still stands for a highly skilled professional, so the terms would not convey the same expertise. Sewist seems to be gaining traction, because, If we used the male - er ending, a male seamstress would be a "sewer", ha, ha!
@@msaks61 a tailer could be a male or female ... it's a profession of any gender ❤️
Love this and you explained it great!
I’ve been sewing since I was 10 and I’m almost 74. You did a good job teaching this. This is a perfect beginner project
Thank you so much! 😊
I totally agree!! 😊
Constance, what a great video. Great presentation with no obnoxious music and unnecessary verbage. Your homemade apron is perfect and so easy to sew up. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks everyone for the great feedback on this tutorial. I filmed a FOLLOW-UP VIDEO that answers how to adjust the measurements for any size person - including making child-sized aprons. You can see that here: th-cam.com/video/EhNX9EKa4NA/w-d-xo.html
I have included an article on the website with references to the measurements, and a recap of the instructions here: cosmopolitancornbread.com/farmhouse-apron/ You can also a free PDF of the instructions there.
Hey, I just ran across this by accident and I have been a tailor for 30 years. This is a cute and smart little apron and is so quick to make. I actually love the idea. I will be making it. Thanks!💕
Thank you!
I know one feels the need to Over Explain for those who lack Common sense for basics. As well as those who've Never been taught anything.
...for anyone who is following to learn for the first time, I thank you for your patients. And for us who already know basics, thank you for also being patient to follow her lesson to possibly learn something new.
thank you for taking the time to go through this with us !
This apron is so useful and the simplicity of making it leaves us with no excuse , for not having proper aprons...lol...
Stay safe and well !
Glad it was helpful!
You may already know this, but for those who don't, there are needles for the sewing machine in different numbers. 8-11 are sheer, 12 -14 are medium and 16-18 are for the heavy fabrics. There are woven needles for woven fabric and knit for knit fabric. Knit can be used with woven and knit, but woven should only be used with woven. Woven fabric doesn't stretch, so different needles. Knit needles are also called ball point as they are a softer tip than the woven which is sharp and pointed. I love that you actually iron at each stage. This is a correct way of sewing that I didn't learn until I watched a professional seamstress from Australia who also teaches sewing.
Schmetz can be used on Singer and Pfaff, but Singer needles can't be used except with Singer. Universal should be okay with knit or woven fabric, but check the number for what thickness or weight of fabric you have. I want to save you time and irritation with this information.
I love that style of apron 👍🏼 I also like when you said fluffy instead of fat 😂 I fall into that fluffy size 😂 you also did an awesome job explaining how to make the Farm Style Apron 👍🏼
I say that too (being fluffy!): Ewes not fat; ewes fluffy!! I had it on my fridge LOL
I fall into the broomstick category, I need to figure out how to make it so it will fit me 😮 I think I'm like a stick figure at 5"9 and 122 lbs
@@elizabethc3842 WOW ! I don't believe I have ever been that small ! Even as a kid !! 😅
I love the way you folded the sides of the body over to make sure the strap goes to the right place and doesn't twist! I've been sewing for years, and I think that's the best way I've ever seen!
HI! you make me laugh...I was a teenager in the 70's and used to add triangular pieces of denim to my jeans to make them wide leg!! I love the apron pattern! You are a wonderful teacher, I'm not a seamstress, but I understood all of it! I am going to make these aprons for my daughters for Christmas gifts, they would love them...they are so cute and practical, and I'm all about practical! Thank you!
Thank you Barbara!
I agree. You are a wonderful teacher. I’m a beginner myself and this is definitely going to be my next project, possibly today! Thank you.
I love that I just clicked on this video as my own kitty "Zahra " sitting on my lap as you greeted yours❤
Hello Contance.. your tutorial popped up in my "recommended to views"... i just love this apron! Although, I think i'll make my straps a smidge skinnier. My current aprons (and i have many lol) have ties which are always getting caught on my kitchen cupboard handles.
Also, i'm sorry to hear of your dog passing. My sweet Ava-May (boxer) passed in April from cancer. She was nearly 11. I don't think it matters how long we have them... they leave a huge hole in your heart.
Stay safe 🐓
Thank you!
I admit that the reason that i am watching this is because I need to make some aprons, have been putting it off for years and was curious.
10:07. I have two “sewing buddies” who are my helpers...one’s a ginger and the other ones black and I had to make them both beds so they can sit either side of me as I sew. They (and I) love it. 😺😺
Quick note, if you leave selvedges on, be sure to cut into the edge ofnthe double weave or trim with pinking shears to allow fabric to relax as it will tighten over time and wrinkle up.
My mom. Just finished an apron for me where she ran a casing for the hem and pulled a complimentary color tie through it and added a button centerline. Then at the waist height she put a loop at each side and a tab with a button hole at bellybutton area. All i do is put the button through the center tab, cinch up the sides and tie to side waist loops and now I have a harvest collecting pouch! I pop the pouch on the counter when i get inside to make an easy transfer. Its perfect when you forget your basket and theres more to collect than a handful!
I have seen aprons like that, they are so neat!
NW Sports...could you post a picture? Sounds interesting.
NW SPORTS. we are still awaiting a photo detailing that Apron!! Need to see that soon.. thanks💓
I'm new to sewing, and this will be my first project. Your instructions are perfect for a first timer! The tip about using the yardstick is genius! I have a feeling several friends will be getting new aprons for Christmas this year.
Can you imagine? I have plenty of Christmas prints. Gonna start now. I have lots that no just cut into jelly rolls I can use ad trims to make more aprons. Thanks I hope I can make some one happy.
I actually do some sewing and this is an excellent video on how to make a simple apron. I also love this lady, she is so sweet and personable. Great job!!
Love the apron! I had aprons made from my husband’s shirts to give each of my girls (3) after he passed! They loved them! TFS this pattern.
Oh what a precious thing you made for them!
What a wonderful idea. I’m using my husband’s shirts to make some lap quilts for our surviving children for Christmas this year. I’d love to see your aprons.♥️
Louette Sommers they are each at the kid’s house! They were the old fashioned bib aprons that looped over your head and the waist sash tied in the back. Shirt pocket was used as the apron pocket! My husband was a big man so one shirt made an apron.
Wreaths & Crafts by Lena Wilson thank you. I’m very sorry for your pain and sorrow. May God bless and comfort you and your children. ♥️ I really like the idea.
Wreaths & Crafts by Lena Wilson What a lovely idea. I’ll have to ask Mum if she still has some of Dad’s shirts. Maybe she has enough so I could do a sort of patchwork with them.
TYTYTY! I have been looking for this pattern forever! In part because I'm half Japanese and my mother had two. The other part is because I've had a stroke and only have use of my left arm and hand. Tie straps behind my back are impossible as you can imagine.
You are so very welcome!
Thanks what a nice mother's day gift. Sounds like hubby now knows what you need for Christmas... Hint hint a sewing machine...
Terrific instructions! Thank you!! The aprons are darling. And, so simple to make! ❤️❤️❤️
I love this apron and your instructions are easy for me to understand. Sewing here I come!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
I make all aprons for family and friends and what I do pretty much all the time is make them out of used curtains. So much fabric and so many to find in the 2nd hand shops. If you have watched Maria in Sound of Music..... 'Think Aprons'.
Ha. I thought I was the only one making bags and aprons out of old curtains/drapes. Great fabric.
What the sales in fabric shops. You can get some good deals.
Great tutorial! Really inspirational and easy to follow. Thank you!
CC, thank you for your tutorial. Clear, simple and useful. So glad I came across your channel. 🌻
I need some of these in my life. Thanks for the lesson.
Who else noticed her phone read 11:11 🥰 Wonderful apron, love not having ties. Thank you.
Thank you Constance, great idea for Christmas presents too.
Love this. Thank you for explaining it so well and for such great attention to detail. ❤️
I love this apron I have made others as I wear them most days but This one is simple and and no tie straps the crisscrossed straps are great I’m having trouble with tieing my straps this will help so thank you so much
This is wonderful and seems easy enough. Right up my sewing skill alley straight lines LOL Be Blessed Constance!
Love your tutorial. Great job explaining in detail.
Thanks this is so fun. Loved the ease of this apron!
I love our idea for the 3rd pocket. I am forever laying my phone down. Good clear instructions. Thank you!
Thank you Constance! This was fun! Ive been sewing for about a hundred years, but it’s always fun to see how someone else does things! I can always learn something new!!
A fabulous tutorial, gorgeous material🤗Thank you
You are an excellent teacher!
You are so kind and patient. I feel I can actually sew this apron. It's been years since I've sewn any thing. And I really appreciate the video and the written instructions 😃. Thank you 💙.
Omg love the fabric design! Can’t wait to try this
I love this easy pattern. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous tutorial! I think this type of apron would be great for crafters like me. It covers more than the typical apron
Just finished my lovely "Farmhouse" apron, thank you for sharing this great project, I love to cook and this apron is perfect & very stylish as well as functional.
This looks fantastic! Thanks so much for posting this. I love the pattern. Will be making some of these for Christmas. Stay safe, stay well.
You did well making this. I love it.
I just made a couple aprons( first time) and saw this video, I definitely want to try your way🥰
No apologies, you did a wonderful job of measuring and explaining this apron. Great job, it looks very popular.
You’re fantastic. I will definitely be making some of these...I love having an apron to work in! Thank you for this.
I love your design and the simplicity of it. Beautiful, and thank you for sharing!
OMG, I have been dying for a Japanese apron! This is like an answer to a prayer. I am not a seamstress, either, but I think I could do this. Thank you so much!!!!
This was a really good tutorial! I have an old red checkered tablecloth I’m using to try this apron style. Thanks for fresh inspiration!
Wow, what a great upcycle idea!
Oh cute I bet it comes out great... oh thanks for the inspiration, I have fabric like yours but mine has a line of ants walking around on it and I think it will be so cute!
Thank you so much for this apron tutorial! Looking forward to watching your videos!
Thank you for this tutorial! It was just the apron style I was looking for.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!!!! Great job and such good detail, anyone should be able to make this great apron. Also, great information to use duck cloth for the long lasting durability and thickness to absorb the spills before getting to your garments. Constance, wonderful job and I so appreciate you for taking the time to make this tutorial.
Thank you Robyn!
I thought you said that: duck cloth! Really good idea!
Loving the pattern and am wondering if you've ever made one from a vintage tablecloth. If so I would enjoy seeing a picture!
Hair is perfect for you. I wish I had five of those aprons!
Great tutorial. Can't wait to make this fabulous apron. Thank you
You do such an excellent job with your explanations!
This a great design, thank you for sharing! I am a “fluffier” lady, lol. I think I will try using 60” wide fabric instead for the body, and adjust where the pockets get placed and the length of the straps. I have some sewing experience, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. I might even get creative and use some quilt squares for pockets or something. I think I need one with egg pockets, too. Now I need to dig out my own machine and dust it off and find the perfect fabric.
Quilt square pockets are a GREAT idea!!! If you do make one, I would love to see it :)
I want to see it too!
Great Ideas!!!
I'd love to see it too !
I’m in the “fuuufy” category as well. I have several yards of denim and some colorful chicken fabric that has been calling my name for a while and this is the perfect way to put them to use. Rather than double fold the denim and possibly destroy my sewing machine I wanted to use some of the chicken fabric to make bias tape to go around the edges as well as make egg pockets and a phone pocket.
I remember the first thing I learned to sew in home economics was an apron using 1 yard of cotton fabric and fold over binding for the straps. We had no pattern and it was a bib style with an embroidered pocket on the bib. Mine was in mauve gingham with a tic tac toe board embroidered on the pocket. We made it in the first half of the year and used it each class in the cooking term. I had that apron for decades, unfortunately it has been lost. It would be about 50 years old now. I am looking forward to making one of yours after I clear up some other projects as others have said.
Marion Hume oh my gosh you brought back memories. I made that apron in 1965 in 8th grade. Wish they still had sewing in schools for both boys and girls. So many boys and men are finally finding the craft.🧵
Townecrafter, I must be about 3 years behind you. I am pretty sure I was in 7th grade. If I was I can’t remember what we made in 8th. I was so proud of that little apron. I used it for years. If I remember correctly, the gingham was only 36 inches wide. I wish I still had the measurements since I have lost the apron. I didn’t grow up in a sewing household, but, my mum would sew our dance costumes etc.
Ha, that brings back memories for me too. Mine was blue gingham.
thanks for this tutorial. I love your diplomatic "fluffier"...you are awesome.
Thank you so much for the pattern and video instructions! You did a fabulous job and are a wonderful teacher/instructor!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am an extra fluffy person and want one of these. Now I can make one.
Wonderfully done! I pin the straps on & try it on before sewing, because once all those hems are done its a real pain to re-do & Ive had to rework a number of mine because I hate how high up they are under my armpits! Beautiful fabric! I re-purpose nice bedsheets for mine- cheap & I dont care if they get ruined!
This is a great tip!
I have been using bedsheets for years for many things. In fact, I just made 3 peasant blouses from re-purposed sheets. Now I have to try this apron. Thanks for the video
I was thinking about using bed sheets too. Glad I came across your tip. I have some cute sheets that have always been a little rough, so they would be great fabric for this apron. White with pink roses.
I'm in the UK. Sheets, or more specifically duvet covers, are often the cheapest way to buy material here. But I would prefer something thicker for an apron. However, I love the idea of using two materials and making a reversible apron. Genius!
@@chrislusbytaylor3197 the curtains, drapes with the pleats on top that everybody is disposing because no longer in fashion are perfect, buy them at swap meet or second hand shops. Those fabrics are superb and the motifs you don't find them anymore. Even if they're being treated, after you wash them are perfectly ok .
My most admired aprons are made of repurposed curtains and is so much fabric in one panel. Love
Absolutely excellent. Thanks for such a great explanation. You are awesome.
I love the pattern! TFS!
I am a fluffier lady, love that phrase! Love the apron thanks for the instructions.
My mom made my apron, its got pockets. It’s a bib style because I tend to run hot, it has extra long ties so I can criss cross around and tie in front. She even sewed rick rack on it and it’s my most precious thing from her. She’s 83. So I think if it ever wears out I will have to use it as a pattern, then wash starch and frame it. Hang it on the wall. ❤️
"Precious" is the exact word I would use to describe that! What a treasure to have.
That is a lovely idea, to frame that precious apron. Items like your apron become even more special as time goes by. 🥰
Trace around it now, and you'll have your pattern.
Clever lady your mother
I LOVE that apron style. It is gorgeous. Thanks so much!
I love love the pattern. Thanks for Sharing.
And I like your cute kitchen!
Thank you for sharing this apron & making the tutorial. I think you did a great job! BTW your sewing machine may need a good cleaning & depending on the age and model oiling/lubricating (an old needle can also be the culprit too). I have a 70 yr old & 25 yr old Singers that still sew great as long as I keep them cleaned & lubed. Thanks again for a great pattern & tutorial! :-)
The first time I cleaned my machine, I couldn’t remember how to get it back together easily. It became a puzzle 😂. I now take step by step pictures with my cell phone
You did a GREAT job! TY so much for sharing this with us. I have wanted a cross over apron for a long time. I won't have to wear my old bath robe out to the chicken pen anymore!
Very classy, I am headed to fabric store, perfect for serious cooking.
Treasure trove of information, timely for my want and need. Thank you sincerely and such good instructions!
Thank you for sharing your pattern and taking the time to due the tutorial
I can kind of sew a straight line, sometimes, maybe, but I will try this😁
I've never seen that bobbin device before. That's kind of neat!
It is called a "SideWinder." I believe I got it at Hobby Lobby several years ago.
@@CosmopolitanCornbread Just ordered one from Amazon after watching your vid.
I have 1 of those bobbin devices, they work great. I got mine at Walmart.
Can’t wait to make one! I love aprons and have been looking for one like this. Your directions are awesome. Thank you 🙏
I love your apron! This is what I have been looking for. Thank you!
Constance, not that you need to be concerned about this as an occasional sewist, but to finish any raw edges as on the sewn down straps, use your pinking shears to finish them.
You could also zig zag the raw edge before it is sewen together.
You may be making me drag my old sewing machine out of the basement. Haven't sewn since HS, hip hugger jeans, if that's a clue.😳 Great video...Thanks!
Oh dear. Be sure to clean and oil it and test sew on some scrap before sewing your apron.
You did a great job! Thank you for the tutorial and pattern!👏👏
Just what I’ve been looking for!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Just a hint on the sewing machine - I have a similar one. Remove the presser foot and needle. Remove the whole bobbin case. You will have to unscrew things. Use a small brush to clean out the mechanism. A small gunk of lint will make for jamming and uneven stitches. You can also use a small vacuum hose or some computer blow out compressed air. I got my machine used to have a lighter weight one when I started making masks. I soon learned that every 25 or so masks, I needed to clean things up. Great apron idea. Think I found my Christmas gifts!
Agree on the cleaning- but compressed air can send dirt/lint into areas you can’t get to and may murder the machine.
I can’t wait to buy some fabric and make me like 10 of these 😂😂😂
This is great! I love your technique. Can't wait to make for Christmas gifts. Thank you!
Love, love, love this apron and your tutorial along with the measurements on your web site. So thank you very much for those!😊 The upper chest pocket is very clever and handy. However, I would strongly advise against keeping your cell phone there due to the electromagnetic frequencies it emits whether turned on or off - commonly known as radiation. No, it won't kill you overnight wearing it there, but it does have a cumulative effect on your body and specifically, breast cancer when against that location on your body. When 5G is everywhere in the coming year(s), it will be that much worse - deadly, in fact.
Please do a little investigating into this; I'd suggest watching just about any YT video with Devra (yes, it's spelled with a V and not a B) Davis, an expert in this field and you won't need to be scientist to understand what she's saying. My YT channel just has folders of other people's videos that I liked, so I don't make any money from it. One of those folders is titled, "5G - A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing About to Devour Us". No I wouldn't expect you to watch all the videos, but I believe I've got a few of them in there that feature Devra Davis. I'll try to find one that has the one that most affected me to the point that made me decide not to own a cell phone. YIKES! Yes, I know I'm one of the few people in the U.S. who doesn't have one, and neither do I have any electronic devices with WIFI - not a phone, tablet, or laptop; just my desktop. And now I'm going to "Like" and put this video in my YT folder titled, "Aprons". Have a great day, and thanks again for the tutorial!
Was thinking same. I don't own one either. With all the cell towers though I don't know how we will totally escape exposure. Prayers for us all!
Love this pattern, but, your pockets look higher up in the video than they do in the pic on your blog.
When I did the measurements, I looked at my original orangey-yellow chicken apron. Some of the aprons, I did the pockets differently, but the measurements that I gave are for that orange one. That said, you can really put the pockets where you want them to be. The measurements are just an idea :) You could even sew the straps on first, put the apron on, and mark exactly where you want the pockets to be. That is another option.
Finally a tutorial I can do! Thank you!
Constance this is a great tutorial thank you for sharing this !!
Don't put your cell phone in your pocket, it causes cancer, especially breast cancer...Nice apron thank you, very cute. I'm going to make some for Christmas presents...
Thank you for making this apron making for your viewers. I have been searching to for this pattern. So glad you've shared, just can't thank you enough. I just love it. . . awesome job!!
I enjoyed ever part of this! Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing. I love the apron.
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make this apron! It’s adorable and you’ve given such good directions on how to do this.
Awesome! Thank u for tutorial and ruler tip. Beautiful.
