I love that you didn’t edit out mistakes but instead showed how to correct them. Thank you.
I am a beginner and just REALLY love your tutorials. You have a soothing voice and listening to you is a pleasure. You also speak slowly enough for even a beginner to catch what you are saying; not speeding through something that might be 2nd hand to experienced sewists. The other thing I really like is the camera angles for your videos. They not only show the big picture, they also show what you are doing close-up. This nice combination is very helpful. Some sewing videos are all too close, making it difficult to see what piece is being worked on, while some others are all too far, where we don't have the foggiest at what the seamstress is doing. However, yours are not like that. they are a great mixture. Thank you for taking your time with what you are showing us. You are a good teacher. Please keep them coming! Have a great day.
Ah thank you Beth. It's always nice to hear that what we do is appreciated. Glad you find the demos helpful, c x
I really love this design, especially because it is adjustable.
Thank you Phyllis c x
I found you by accident and I'm so glad I did. I've subscribed. Your videos are simply to understand, very clear instructions and as a novice I appreciate all the points that you make that might be obvious to experienced sewers, bookmarked. I made the Mobius apron, wasn't perfect and I'll pop over to that video to comment where I came unstuck. Thanks for sharing the videos.
Super cute and just in time for a baby shower this weekend!
Nice! I would have definitely attached those ribbon pieces that makes the arm hole inside the seam, looks like that would’ve been better, and look better as well . Thank you!
It does look better. I made the practice pieces like that and then completely forgot when it came to filming it 😆c x
@@TheCraftsChannel thank you for replying so quickly and I certainly didn’t mean to downgrade your work. Thank you so much for showing us everything that you do. It is appreciated..
@@boxgirl51 Haha, it's ok, I didn't take your comment as that x x
Came at perfect time. Love it.
Thanks.
Sweet, love the grasshopper fabric. : )
It's a jersey from a range called Sidewalk from Cloud9 Fabrics. There's some other really cute prints.
I loved ...very original
Thank you for sharing this very cute idea.
Glad you like the aprons Angela, c x
So lovely for babies going to make some thanks.
Glad you like it, c x
love it!
Very good and beautifulllllll
What type of fabric do you recommend? I know you said quilted but I’m a beginner so I’m not sure if I can just go to the fabric store and say that and get what you have here lol. Also it looks like felt/fleece on the back, is that right?
Hiya, the one I actually make in the demo is 100% woven cotton on the back and 100% upholstery weight cotton on the front. The two I show at the beginning; one is 100% woven cotton that has been pre-quilted with a layer of cotton wadding backing and the other is 100% knitted jersey cotton that's been quilted. Both are backed with woven cotton. The quilting makes the bib more absorbent but two layers of ordinary 100% cotton should be good enough for most messy kids if they're just dropping damp food. Hope this helps, but I'm sure your local fabric shop would be able to advise you if not, c x
EXCELLENT!!
Sweet
I can not find the template- all the links point me to other templates for appliques
That's strange. The link www.sewmag.co.uk/images/uploads/templates/MAIN_Mag_Templates_105.pdf should take you to a pdf file and the baby apron is on pages 8 and 9, c x
@@TheCraftsChannel Thank you, found it!
did you use a waterproof fabric on the back ?
No, but there's no reason why you can't. c x
If I just have 100% cotton, could I put another layer in between to make it more absorbent?
Yes, that should be fine, c x
How much fabric do I need for this adorable bib
I said two pieces, 40cm by 45cm so a couple of FQs should ample, c x
looks great! where is the pattern
If you click on 'show more' in the description under the demo the link is there, c x
How long is the babron straps in inches? Great video
Sorry, been a long time since I made these but looking at the video I'd recommend your strap are around 12" each, c x
I am wondering how long to make the ties?
The ties don't really take that long but they can be fiddly to turn the right way out and we didn't think anyone would want to watch two minutes of me struggling with a piping turner! c x
@@TheCraftsChannel Actually, I was wondering what the measurement for the ties would be? I am also wondering if it would work to enclose the ties into the apron (while you are pinning the 2 fabrics together, having the ties butting up to the edge, but enclosed in the middle of the fabrics) so that when you turn them the ties are fastened and actually stitched into the seam. Cute pattern.
@@anneniesen8653 Ha ha, I am such an idiot! From memory the ties are around 35cm long. You don't want them too long or they'll just fidget around the back of the neck. Yes, it does work if you stitch them between the layers as you sew around the edge. That was the intention when I did the prep work but I got so carried away when filming I completely forgot! c x
I’m not particularly good with a small seam allowance so next time I’ll try two pencils side by side with an elastic band then draw round the template to give me a better chance. Not a criticism it’s me that’s not terribly good.
Excellent pattern. What I'd like to know is where are you putting your pins? It sounds magnetic.
Maybe you can hear the clanking of my bracelets? I put my pins in a little pumpkin pincushion that my daughter made me. It ties around the main body of my machine, c x
Hi ...stumbled onto your channel because I am making baby gifts for my friends who have become grannies. Fell in love with your apron! 😍
I understand that this is for 2-6 month old baby , and I want to make cloth straps as all stores have been closed since April 8 and won’t open for at least 2 more weeks.
I don’t want to wait too long so I want to make one now .
If I make this into tube straps, what is the length I should cut ( to make tube straps that I will use a turner to make it right sides out) ?
Question 2 :
How do I adjust your template for age 12 month old?
Question 3: you’re a great designer , so may I ask if you can make a template and video for Drool Bib with waterproof backing ? I think new moms would love to have 10 -12 of Drool Bib when their babies start teething ...9 - 12 mths old .
I read the ones in the retail ( online too) are not really 100% waterproof. They disappoint.
The best is to make them yourself with PUL waterproof fabric used for making diapers. So ....I am ready to try , could you help by making a video for Drool Bib? As well as create the template for download ?
Thanks so much for this video and I hope you will consider my asks.
You’re going to make me look like a professional 😄😄😄 . I dusted off my sewing machine ( last used 25 years ago) to make face masks... now it has moved on to making baby items and crafting 😄 . It took covid to slow me down and find a way to deal with isolation.
Hi Berniece, I can't give you an exact answer as I have no working printer at home to fiddle with the pattern! I would imagine you need to extend the shoulders by 2-3cm, as well as each side of the chest and along the bottom edge. This should be ample for a 12 month. 30-35cm straps should be long enough to tie the apron without the ends being too long and dangly.
I'll have a think about a drool bib. The problem I can see arising is that the only way I can think they're made is with a separate 'drool catching' pocket sewn on the front, and even with waterproof fabric the stitching holes on the seam will leak. You might be able to overcome this with some kind of seam sealer like they use on tents? c x
@@TheCraftsChannel : Hi Corrine , thanks for the reply!
I will try extend 3 cm out on broad cloth ( all my old bedding has been used as drop cloth for paint...unless I find some old bedding to buy at Salvation Army second hand stores...they too are closed during lockdown).
For Drool Bib :
Maybe I layer : quilting cotton, fusible fleece, PUL waterproof ( as the back so dampness is not felt on the baby’s chest) . So it won’t be a reversible bib .
Do you think this will work ?
@@berniecelee5062 Thankfully my local Sally Army has finally reopened. I buy all my quilt backing as 100% cotton sheets too.
I reckon the drool bib would work like that. The cotton and wadding should soak up most of the drool so it doesn't make it through the stitching, c x
can I still get this pattern? Looked for it yesterday but could not find
thank you
Yes, it should be still available in the 'show more' panel in the description. If not try this www.sewmag.co.uk/images/uploads/templates/MAIN_Mag_Templates_105.pdf it's on pages 8-9 c x
Thank You ! It's a great pattern and good how to video
The template is not downloading...please help.
I'm not sure what to suggest, the template comes up ok for me, could you try again? It might have been a weekend glitch on the website, c x

I now have two Great grand children and I would love to make these for them. Where/how do I find the pattern
Hi Pat, the link to the pattern is in the description if you click 'show more'. Alternatively try this www.sewmag.co.uk/images/uploads/templates/MAIN_Mag_Templates_105.pdf
You'll have to sign up on the website but then all the patterns are free to download and use. The bib is on pages 8-9 of the pdfs, c x
Mam its measurement ??
The template is for a 3-6 month baby but the pattern is easily enlarged as your baby grows and the straps make it easily adjustable, c x
But i don't have babies 🤔
No, I don't anymore either but you could always make them for friends or friends grandkids!
The Crafts Channel thank you for sharing this beautiful things, God bless you, And to all.
