Can you please let me know the details of this adorable pattern?
@@sally-anneredhead9818 www.decadesofstyle.com/collections/1920s-sewing-patterns/products/2002-1920s-clothes-pin-apron
Love it! Great fabric and trim selections!👏👏👍🤩😊
@@cyndy338 thank you! It's my favorite combination
I used to use a nail apron for clothes pins. I do like this pattern. This could be a great item to sell.
What a clever solution! I never thought of that. I agree, they would be a great item to sell. They go together quickly
How adorable! Thank you! I might look for this pattern and make one!
Please do! It is a fun apron to make and goes together so quickly. I think you'll love it.
How much soap would you recommend?
That is a great question! I went looking for specific recommendations and so far have found only a mention to use" 1/2 bar". This isn't a super satisfactory answer due to lots of variables, such as the ingredients of the soap, the size of the bar, etc. I will keep poking about and share what I find out. In the mean time, I will start with 1/4 bar... I can always add more.
What was that thing you grated? Soap?
Yes, Ivory soap
Can you do a video on the next steps? Like once it's all ready to use to bake with, how do we do so?
@@gabriellameras4256 I did a video on baking simple sourdough. Let me know if you want more detail. 😉
It feels like it’s a waste because you are always having to discard some of the starter. Why not just continue adding flour and water to the existing starter?
@@dora966 I used to think the same. Each time you feed the starter you add the same amount of water as the initial starter and twice that of flour. The first Dat it would be one Tbs starter, one Tbs. Water and 2 Tbs flour. The next day it would be the 4 Tbs starter (1/4 cup), 1/4 cup water & 1/2 cup flour . Day 3 would be the one cup starter plus 1 cup water, plus 2 cups flour. Day four would be 4 cups starter, plus 4 cups water, plus 8 cups flour. And so on. By the weekend there would be enough starter to make 4- 6 loaves of bread. If you save just the small amount each day you can use the saved discard to make things like pancakes, crackers, bagels & etc. Or just feed the starter once and store it in fridge for the week. This eliminates the need for discard. Great question!!

Hi Lorri What happens to all the excess starter?
Merrie - my Daughter-in-law makes bagels with hers. A friend uses hers to make crackers. I have have used mine to make pancakes! I was inspired by eating sourdough pancakes from the restaurant Pig'n'Pancake. 😋
Here is a site with LOTS of interesting recipes for discard: www.farmhouseonboone.com/category/sourdough-discard-recipes/
What is your favorite bread recipe?
My favorite is for Amish bread. So delicious!
@@gabriellameras4256 are you willing to share the recipe?
Fantastic to see you posting! Keep at it! Can't wait to see more :D

Excited for you.
