Making a cottagecore Apron || beginner friendly sewing diy

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
A few weeks ago I discovered #cottagecore and honestly I've been trying to transform my small city flat into a cottage in the woods (with low success). After a particularly frustrating time washing the dishes and yet again getting drenched courtesy of a spoon, I decided it was time to get an apron. My new motto is 'if I can make it I will', so here we are!
I am still on my linen high, so it was a natural decision (heh). I wanted something I could wear around the house, but also that I could add to historically inspired outfits if I wanted to. I've also really been into that working class Georgian and Victorian look (more to come in the future...) and an apron is a great addition to both of those styles.
A couple of things to note: the beeswax thing was a whole fiasco, although it did make my fabric a bit sturdier. The only good thing about it is that I poured the leftovers into my Marvel ice cube tray and made some Captain American and Iron Man shaped beeswax.The second is that my apron ended up being a little narrow because I only used one meter of fabric. One meter of fabric is pretty affordable and this is a really easy, beginner friendly sewing project. However, if you want a fuller look, I would say go for the two meters, as cartridge pleating eats up a lot of fabric. You can also do everything by machine, rather than sewing by hand, but if you don't have a sewing machine, the handsewing is really nice, relaxing and looks pretty in the end. If you're looking to start sewing, this is a super simple project, beginner friendly sewing.
I have been wearing this around the house constantly and it improves my spirit while cooking and cleaning! Now all I'm missing is my actual cottage...
