Completely agree with Beth below. This is the best ,most clear video. My head was swirling looking at others to make an apron but as soon as I'd watched a short amount of Toni's, I knew it was the one !! A million thanks. Apron is for my daughter and I'm going to the microwave bowl holder for my son.
Thank You sooo much!!! I am so glad you enjoyed the video!! If there is anything else you would like to see from me as a tutorial let me know!
You're an excellent instructor, as I am a beginner. You made each step very clear.
I appreciate that! Thank You!!
What an amazing video! You are the best teacher! I am 74 and learning to use a machine.. I got my Moms 60s sewing machine..had it serviced but messed it up, but she had another one I just got and I am using it…Mom passed away few months ago, so she would love it I am sewing….I need to watch a few times more…trying to understand the extra fabric you use on ends… but you explain better than anyone! I hope you teach… maybe online classes? I would certainly pay!!
Oops….not 74! I’ll be 64 in a couple of weeks
Thank You!!! I actually do teach! I travel to stores, guild and conventions and teach classes and give private lessons! I truly believe that anyone can learn to sew!
This video was so thorough! I literally went and bought an apron pattern, took it out and put it right back in the envelope it was so overwhelming. I watched the entirety of this video, the next day I made an apron. And 4 more the next day! Thank you for being fun, real and thorough ❤
Yay!! This makes me so happy! You are welcome! I tried to explain every little thing in my videos to help everyone! If there is anything you would like me to make a video on, let me know! I'll add it to my list.

This is a great video and extremely thorough. I found it hard lining up the pockets on both sides to pin. The next apron I make I will add the pockets before assembling the two sides and see how that works. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
You are an excellent quilting teacher. I am going to make one or more of these aprons. Thank you so much 😊
Thank You!!! I am also looking for more projects to do, so if there is anything you want me to break down and explain, let me know!!
I totally got excited when I heard pockets! I now need to see if I have enough fabric...I must have some!!!
All the Pockets!!!
You are very cute your personality is so pleasant.your also a great teacher I love my new apron.
Thank you so much!
Love your tutorials. Best ever!
Thanks so much!
Very good job
Thank you so much 😀
Bom dia! Por favor legenda em português. Obrigada ❤❤❤
22:06 did l miss the seam allowance? Your teaching is awesome!
Thank You!! I see that you did get to the 1/4 inch seams. Have a great day and happy sewing!
Pockets!
Sorry didn’t go far enough to hear you say 1/4 inch seam, thanks.
Ok
What type cutter is that at 52:41??
That is a special rotary cutter. If you click on the details under the video I have links for all of the items I use in the video and where you can find them including the rotary cutter!
What measurements do you recommend to size the apron for an 8 year old child & a 12 year old boy?
It completely depends on their size. I would start with the measurements in the video, hold it up to them and then draw down until it is the perfect size that you like! (Getting butcher paper to do the drawings before putting onto the fabric would be ideal).
I cant see a thing! Your instructions seem clear but you could have chosen a better backgroud fabric.
I'm not sure what you are referring to not being able to see? I chose two different contrasting fabrics on a colored cutting mat. There is no "background" fabric in this video? Is it the thread you can't see? This is the first time someone has said this about this video?
Just a friendly, respectful request on behalf of visual learners. Please adjust your camera location as several times we just saw the top of your head during your demonstration of steps.
I am definitely aware of this and I have purchased a few hundred dollars of new camera equipment to make sure future videos don't have this.
@@Quiltoni, no insult was intended, I just tend to be very visual, especially if I have followed the directions I have read or listened to and am not sure I understand. I didn’t necessarily mean to buy more equipment (especially as I can appreciate just how expensive it can be), just maybe move the camera a few inches forward or to the side. I really do appreciate your videos.
Perfect video as is!@@Quiltoni
Why are your braids pink?
Because I like them that color?
It's called hair dye?
You should look at your video before you post lol, I watched the top of your head for parts I needed to see. However that said thank you for the video instruction.
Hi Elizabeth, I actually commented and apologized for this already. I did watch the video and unfortunately there was no way around that with the equipment I had at the time with as close as the camera was. The only way to fix it at the time was buy much more expensive equipment. I have finally saved to purchase this so future videos do not have this problem.
It was not a problem at all!!!@@Quiltoni
