Remember my grandmother's wearing that style and thought how adorable they looked on them. I've been a sewist for 40 yesterday and definitely going to make some. Am going to send one to my 83 yr old sister, may spark her memory 😊.
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, 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.
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.
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 .
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 !!!!!
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.
This was a really fabulous "how to" apron tutorial. I loved this particular design, there are no ties that the boys can pull behind you back :) Thank you for sharing and the instructions are just perfect,. I am on my own, no neighbours that I know enjoys sewing, times have changed for the worst, they claim too much trouble I'd rather buy. Yes it is convenient but you have to take what fabric is available!! Happy sewing, I think you are going to get quite a lot of orders from working ladies as well as for gifts. May it go well, many blessings. Kind regards.
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!
@@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!
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 !
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!
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 👍🏼
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!💕
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!
I adore aprons and remember my grandmother wearing one. Thank you for a beautiful video and simple enough for me to try. Blessings to you and your kitty lol.😇🌻🌺🪡🧵
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. 😺😺
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!!
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 🐓
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: ua-cam.com/video/EhNX9EKa4NA/v-deo.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.
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.
Thankyouverymuch for the wonderful tutorial ❤️ I also want to Thank you and your husband for his (and yours) service to our country. Much love and appreciation 😊
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 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
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.
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!!!!
I love this apron. Thank God you’re not a seamstress or it would be way to complicated for me to make. My little granddaughter spills chocolate milk on her clothes every time she comes to my house, she doesn’t get to drink it at home. I am going to try to adapt it to her size. She will love it. Thank you so much for sharing this.
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.
I'm going to make mine by handsewing. Your tutorial is very good far easier for me than so called professional seamstress. I don't have the thick fabric but I'm going to line my apron and line the pockets as well. Thank you for sharing this video, God bless you, Vera in Northern Ireland ❤
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 💙.
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!
Constance, I followed your instructions and your aprons have been a big hit at our craft show sales and one of my granddaughter’s asked for 2 of them. I absolutely love them, thank you for sharing.
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.
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.
Hi Constance, I made your apron today. You did such a great job of explaining how to make it, your instructions were simple, straight forward and so easy to follow. I changed 2 things, I lengthened the apron by just a few inches and added 2 tie straps long the side edges about 5" below the upper back edge. I added the tie straps to snug up the apron in the back and front as it tended to be too baggy and split apart too much in back for my personal preferences. I just love it! Nit only is it functional but it's very cute as well. I think I'd like to find a dress pattern in this style but with a full back. I may just draft one myself! 😊 Anyway, thank you so much for such a user friendly apron tutorial...
It's a sign! I too have some heavy-ish weight fabric I bought some time ago because it had cute chickens on it. Had nothing in mind for it, but figured something would present itself in time. This is the time! Thanks!
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'.
Hi, Neighbor!! I'm watching from South Georgia (for about the third time...lost my personal notes I took on it.) I love this tutorial and this pattern. I attempted one of these aprons before finding your video and had to give it to a skinny person because I made my own pattern and it just didn't go over (literally didn't go over ...my chest!) Your instructions are so clear and concise and I'm chalking that up to you being, like me, a utilitarian sewer and not a seamstress. I too have made very few garments (I can, but don't find it very enjoyable .. and face it, we can buy clothing cheaper than we can make it and my time is more valuable than that) but I enjoy making curtains, pillows, aprons, quilts, and baby blankets with matching burp cloths, etc. Thanks for not bogging us down with all of the seamstress terminology...this is a great tutorial!
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!!
I love this ! I am making junk journals for 6 if my dear old friends, from high school, we meet once a year. I will be wrapping the journals in this cute apron .
What a gift you have for teaching! I just made an apron very similar to this one. I tried to do it on my own by watching videos on how to sew a Japanese apron but I kept getting lost. I had to sign up to sewing classes to get it done. Had I seen your video first, I would not have had to do that. You explained it so well and made it seem so easy-it was therapeutic to watch. I really liked the fabric you too. Thank you and God bless you and yours.
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!
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
I was just thinking yesterday when I watched your video that I really liked your apron and need one. And then this video popped up on my YT feed today! Thank You, Jesus! 🙌
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.
Constance, thank you for this awesome tutorial!!! You get an A+ on your teaching skills. Watching you reminded me of my beautiful Grandmother when she was teaching me to sew many years ago. She would give me the instructions in the “seamstress” terms, and then she’d say, “In English that means ….. . That means do it like this.” and she would show me how to sew it in her “hillbilly” ways. She was a fabulous seamstress, and taught me so much, but in her own words. I remember her measuring tape was always around her neck, for quick measurements. 😂😂. Thank you for reminding me of the simpler way to sew, and of a precious lady that taught me so much. Now I am going to go sew up an apron for myself 🎉🎉
I have not sewn in about 50 years... I need to start 'easy' ... I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU!! THANK YOU BUNCHES!! Logical, straightforward... VERY NICE!! KUDOS!!
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. ❤️
also have been sewing for the better part of almost 50 years and i love the simplicity of your instructions. i can't wait to make mine. also, i love at the end about "a fluffier lady" that was such a great line. God bless you for your 'sense and sensibility.' i wish you were my neighbor. your family must love you to pieces.
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
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.
Your ball gown is beautiful, what a gorgeous couple! Please thank your hubby for his service to our country. Farm life is amazing and being a new sewer, i havent tried an apron yet but want to try this. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this well done tutorial. My grandmother taught me to sew over 5 decades ago. This looks great and my sister wants me to make her an egg collecting apron, should just take a few rows of pockets...😊
Oh yes! You can just make long rectangle pockets, and sew lines to make the division. Just have to use the largest egg you can find to determine the spacing so that all the eggs will fit :)
I can NOT thank you enough for this video. I JUST started working as a cook in an assisted living home and when I wash the dishes I get SOAKED and I've ruined a couple of shirts and knew I needed an apron. I only owned 3 (I love aprons as well) with the full front, and they pull at my neck, I'm so glad I found this video, THANK YOU!!
I am an experience sewer and I thought you did very well! Using the pin to mark the center - I do that sort of thing all the time - a legal shortcut ;-). I wear aprons daily and I'd like to try your pattern; not having to fuss with back ties is very appealing!
This is wonderful. Seriously. I have been looking for an apron to make for gifts and this one is perfect, especially for my fluffy loved ones. Thank you so much.
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!
I love all that material!.. , this is my first time ever seeing your video’s. I am almost 70 and this has been a trip down memory lane, as I was raised and also a young to much older wife, living what you would call your “Homestead” life. We just called it living on the farm, out in the “sticks” of rural mid east part of our state!🤓… …Hubby has passed, and now,I am retired and doing all the same things, on a very small scale, (in a smallish yard and tiny home…in a whole other southern coastal state). My wish for you, is that you have even as half (or a 100 percent more), the lovely journey, That mine has been being in a rural lifestyle…Either way, It shall truly,be a fine and joyous life for you and your family! Good Luck and good Life, dear!👍💪🏻🙏🏻💕
Constance I am a quilter and I have got to say you did a FANTASTIC JOB on your Farm House apron! You went step by step and it was so very easy to follow for anyone and I loved seeing your fur baby as well! You really are a true seamstress don’t kid yourself! And older sewing machines are power houses! I have a much older Janome that I call my work horse then a much newer Babylock Allegro that I am breaking in (but I do use my back up 15 year old Janome lol)! Keep up the GREAT videos I for one really enjoyed this one and will be making your apron! 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!
Great video, Constance -- love your farm apron! I've sewed for decades and never knew the yardstick turning trick. So good to know! I'll definitely make a farmhouse apron for myself, and maybe for friends. Thanks much!
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.
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!
You made my day and thank you so much. You did prefect and its so nice of you to share your pattern. I brought patterns and none ever fit and you made it so easy. Thank you so much. I hope to make some little matching aprons for my granddaughter and her mom,
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.
What a great video you made for your apron project! I have a granddaughter who is 13 and she would be able to make this easily with your video. It's much better not to be as "professional" but teach down to earth in easily understood words . The fact that you didn't stress or worry over what was perfect set me a little easy when things aren't as perfect as I thought they should be! Thank you. Can't wait for more!
Oh goodness, no. There are things that need to be sewn very precisely - my mom sews BARBIE clothes! But this simple apron is nothing to stress about. :)

You did a really nice tutorial. Walmart has a really reasonable brother sewing machine that is a nice utility machine. You are a better seamstress than you give yourself credit for. Please treat yourself! 😀
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...
You did great job! I’ve been sewing since I was very young, and home Ec at school, I sew almost every day, I’m 60! I think you did a Very good job, cute apron! I’m subscribing
I love this! I have an apron collection that was my mom’s but I don’t like to wear them to cook because I don’t want to get them dirty and some of them were just for looks, and not really for functionality. I love how you explained everything. I have sewed off and on since 8th grade, over 50 years, and I have pretty much given it all up….. but this is not a stressful pattern and doesn’t take a lot of time. My husband was listening and he said, you ought to make one. I think I will!!! Thank you! Not sure how you showed up on my feed, but I’m glad you did!!
I`ll be back to look again. I like the apron, and you are an easy to follow person. Thanks for showing us all how to do this. Have a great 2022. Be well. Thanks again.
For a “not a seamstress” person, this was perfectly understandable! Thank you!
Thank you :)
thank you
Remember my grandmother's wearing that style and thought how adorable they looked on them. I've been a sewist for 40 yesterday and definitely going to make some. Am going to send one to my 83 yr old sister, may spark her memory 😊.
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!

I agree! You seem so nice!!
She is amazing! This was so easy and she has a great personality 🎉
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!! 😊
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 hope others are inspired by this simple project .

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)
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.
Thank you so very much for this great information!
This was a really fabulous "how to" apron tutorial. I loved this particular design, there are no ties that the boys can pull behind you back :) Thank you for sharing and the instructions are just perfect,. I am on my own, no neighbours that I know enjoys sewing, times have changed for the worst, they claim too much trouble I'd rather buy. Yes it is convenient but you have to take what fabric is available!! Happy sewing, I think you are going to get quite a lot of orders from working ladies as well as for gifts. May it go well, many blessings. Kind regards.
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!

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!
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!
I love that I just clicked on this video as my own kitty "Zahra " sitting on my lap as you greeted yours❤
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

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!
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 adore aprons and remember my grandmother wearing one. Thank you for a beautiful video and simple enough for me to try. Blessings to you and your kitty lol.😇🌻🌺🪡🧵
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. 😺😺
I have this same fabric I've made bowl cozies with it. Great job explaining your way to sew a Apron . Thank you!!
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!!
Thanks what a nice mother's day gift. Sounds like hubby now knows what you need for Christmas... Hint hint a sewing machine...
I am a fluffier lady, love that phrase! Love the apron thanks for the instructions.
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!
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: ua-cam.com/video/EhNX9EKa4NA/v-deo.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.
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.
Thankyouverymuch for the wonderful tutorial ❤️ I also want to Thank you and your husband for his (and yours) service to our country. Much love and appreciation 😊
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 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
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!
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.
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!!!!
I love this apron. Thank God you’re not a seamstress or it would be way to complicated for me to make. My little granddaughter spills chocolate milk on her clothes every time she comes to my house, she doesn’t get to drink it at home. I am going to try to adapt it to her size. She will love it. Thank you so much for sharing this.
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.
I'm going to make mine by handsewing. Your tutorial is very good far easier for me than so called professional seamstress. I don't have the thick fabric but I'm going to line my apron and line the pockets as well. Thank you for sharing this video, God bless you, Vera in Northern Ireland ❤
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 💙.
Thanks so much - I love your simple yet very functional apron. Can hardly wait to try it out I wear an apron all the time. Yay, you're awesome!
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!
Constance, I followed your instructions and your aprons have been a big hit at our craft show sales and one of my granddaughter’s asked for 2 of them. I absolutely love them, thank you for sharing.
Wonderful!!!
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.
Hi Constance, I made your apron today. You did such a great job of explaining how to make it, your instructions were simple, straight forward and so easy to follow.
I changed 2 things, I lengthened the apron by just a few inches and added 2 tie straps long the side edges about 5" below the upper back edge. I added the tie straps to snug up the apron in the back and front as it tended to be too baggy and split apart too much in back for my personal preferences. I just love it! Nit only is it functional but it's very cute as well. I think I'd like to find a dress pattern in this style but with a full back. I may just draft one myself! 😊
Anyway, thank you so much for such a user friendly apron tutorial...
Who else noticed her phone read 11:11 🥰 Wonderful apron, love not having ties. Thank you.
It's a sign! I too have some heavy-ish weight fabric I bought some time ago because it had cute chickens on it. Had nothing in mind for it, but figured something would present itself in time. This is the time! Thanks!
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.
Hi, Neighbor!! I'm watching from South Georgia (for about the third time...lost my personal notes I took on it.) I love this tutorial and this pattern. I attempted one of these aprons before finding your video and had to give it to a skinny person because I made my own pattern and it just didn't go over (literally didn't go over ...my chest!) Your instructions are so clear and concise and I'm chalking that up to you being, like me, a utilitarian sewer and not a seamstress. I too have made very few garments (I can, but don't find it very enjoyable .. and face it, we can buy clothing cheaper than we can make it and my time is more valuable than that) but I enjoy making curtains, pillows, aprons, quilts, and baby blankets with matching burp cloths, etc. Thanks for not bogging us down with all of the seamstress terminology...this is a great tutorial!
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!!
I love this ! I am making junk journals for 6 if my dear old friends, from high school, we meet once a year. I will be wrapping the journals in this cute apron .
What a great idea!
Fabulous tutorial! I think this type of apron would be great for crafters like me. It covers more than the typical apron
What a gift you have for teaching! I just made an apron very similar to this one. I tried to do it on my own by watching videos on how to sew a Japanese apron but I kept getting lost. I had to sign up to sewing classes to get it done. Had I seen your video first, I would not have had to do that. You explained it so well and made it seem so easy-it was therapeutic to watch.
I really liked the fabric you too.
Thank you and God bless you and yours.
Thank you!
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
Love my apron. Your directions were very understandable. I wish more instructions were written as easily as yours were. Thank you!!
Thank you :)
I love our idea for the 3rd pocket. I am forever laying my phone down. Good clear instructions. Thank you!
I was just thinking yesterday when I watched your video that I really liked your apron and need one. And then this video popped up on my YT feed today! Thank You, Jesus! 🙌
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!
Constance, thank you for this awesome tutorial!!! You get an A+ on your teaching skills. Watching you reminded me of my beautiful Grandmother when she was teaching me to sew many years ago. She would give me the instructions in the “seamstress” terms, and then she’d say, “In English that means ….. . That means do it like this.” and she would show me how to sew it in her “hillbilly” ways. She was a fabulous seamstress, and taught me so much, but in her own words. I remember her measuring tape was always around her neck, for quick measurements. 😂😂. Thank you for reminding me of the simpler way to sew, and of a precious lady that taught me so much. Now I am going to go sew up an apron for myself 🎉🎉
No apologies, you did a wonderful job of measuring and explaining this apron. Great job, it looks very popular.
I have not sewn in about 50 years... I need to start 'easy' ... I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU!! THANK YOU BUNCHES!! Logical, straightforward... VERY NICE!! KUDOS!!
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
also have been sewing for the better part of almost 50 years and i love the simplicity of your instructions. i can't wait to make mine. also, i love at the end about "a fluffier lady" that was such a great line. God bless you for your 'sense and sensibility.' i wish you were my neighbor. your family must love you to pieces.
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
Thank you so much! I made my apron this afternoon. My hubby liked it so much he wants one also. It's so comfortable!!!
Love it!
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.
Your ball gown is beautiful, what a gorgeous couple! Please thank your hubby for his service to our country.
Farm life is amazing and being a new sewer, i havent tried an apron yet but want to try this. Thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am an extra fluffy person and want one of these. Now I can make one.
Thank you for this well done tutorial. My grandmother taught me to sew over 5 decades ago. This looks great and my sister wants me to make her an egg collecting apron, should just take a few rows of pockets...😊
Oh yes! You can just make long rectangle pockets, and sew lines to make the division. Just have to use the largest egg you can find to determine the spacing so that all the eggs will fit :)
This is wonderful and seems easy enough. Right up my sewing skill alley straight lines LOL Be Blessed Constance!
I can NOT thank you enough for this video. I JUST started working as a cook in an assisted living home and when I wash the dishes I get SOAKED and I've ruined a couple of shirts and knew I needed an apron. I only owned 3 (I love aprons as well) with the full front, and they pull at my neck, I'm so glad I found this video, THANK YOU!!
I just made a couple aprons( first time) and saw this video, I definitely want to try your way🥰
THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! Yes, I was shouting! Full of JOY!! You are an excellent teacher
Thank you so much :)
Hair is perfect for you. I wish I had five of those aprons!
This apron is the best and easiest one I’ve seen. So far I’ve made two. So glad I found your video
I need some of these in my life. Thanks for the lesson.
Even though I am a sewing, I love simple. Thanks for your straightforward easy to follow instructions. Will certainly be making this apron.
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.
I am an experience sewer and I thought you did very well! Using the pin to mark the center - I do that sort of thing all the time - a legal shortcut ;-). I wear aprons daily and I'd like to try your pattern; not having to fuss with back ties is very appealing!
Lovely instructions. I can’t wait to make one- I’m such a messy cook
This is wonderful. Seriously. I have been looking for an apron to make for gifts and this one is perfect, especially for my fluffy loved ones. Thank you so much.
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.
My daughter moved to a rural area and she and her husband are building a farm life. Your tutorial is PERFECT! Thank you!
I can kind of sew a straight line, sometimes, maybe, but I will try this😁
I love all that material!..
, this is my first time ever seeing your video’s. I am almost 70 and this has been a trip down memory lane, as I was raised and also a young to much older wife, living what you would call
your “Homestead” life.
We just called it living on the farm, out in the “sticks” of rural mid east part of our state!🤓…
…Hubby has passed, and now,I am retired and doing all the same things, on a very small scale, (in a smallish yard and tiny home…in a whole other southern coastal state).
My wish for you, is that you have even as half (or a 100 percent more), the lovely journey,
That mine has been being in a rural lifestyle…Either way, It shall truly,be a fine and joyous life for you and your family!
Good Luck and good Life, dear!👍💪🏻🙏🏻💕
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.
Constance I am a quilter and I have got to say you did a FANTASTIC JOB on your Farm House apron! You went step by step and it was so very easy to follow for anyone and I loved seeing your fur baby as well! You really are a true seamstress don’t kid yourself! And older sewing machines are power houses! I have a much older Janome that I call my work horse then a much newer Babylock Allegro that I am breaking in (but I do use my back up 15 year old Janome lol)!
Keep up the GREAT videos I for one really enjoyed this one and will be making your apron! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Bonnie!
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.
You are very easy to watch and listen to. Haven't seen an apron in 50 years( high school) but am going to try this one. Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Great video, Constance -- love your farm apron! I've sewed for decades and never knew the yardstick turning trick. So good to know! I'll definitely make a farmhouse apron for myself, and maybe for friends. Thanks much!
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.
Thanks so much, I tried so many times to make this Apron. Your per was a big help.
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!
You made my day and thank you so much. You did prefect and its so nice of you to share your pattern. I brought patterns and none ever fit and you made it so easy. Thank you so much. I hope to make some little matching aprons for my granddaughter and her mom,
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.
What a great video you made for your apron project! I have a granddaughter who is 13 and she would be able to make this easily with your video. It's much better not to be as "professional" but teach down to earth in easily understood words . The fact that you didn't stress or worry over what was perfect set me a little easy when things aren't as perfect as I thought they should be! Thank you. Can't wait for more!
Oh goodness, no. There are things that need to be sewn very precisely - my mom sews BARBIE clothes! But this simple apron is nothing to stress about. :)
Oh goodness, no. There are things that need to be sewn very precisely - my mom sews BARBIE clothes! But this simple apron is nothing to stress about. :)
I can’t wait to buy some fabric and make me like 10 of these 😂😂😂
You did a really nice tutorial. Walmart has a really reasonable brother sewing machine that is a nice utility machine. You are a better seamstress than you give yourself credit for. Please treat yourself! 😀
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...
You did great job! I’ve been sewing since I was very young, and home Ec at school, I sew almost every day, I’m 60! I think you did a Very good job, cute apron! I’m subscribing
Thank you Rhonda!
I love this! I have an apron collection that was my mom’s but I don’t like to wear them to cook because I don’t want to get them dirty and some of them were just for looks, and not really for functionality. I love how you explained everything. I have sewed off and on since 8th grade, over 50 years, and I have pretty much given it all up….. but this is not a stressful pattern and doesn’t take a lot of time. My husband was listening and he said, you ought to make one. I think I will!!! Thank you! Not sure how you showed up on my feed, but I’m glad you did!!
Thank you Julie! I hope you make the apron and love it :)
I`ll be back to look again. I like the apron, and you are an easy to follow person. Thanks for showing us all how to do this. Have a great 2022. Be well. Thanks again.
