What a beautiful and unique apron you made! Such a great idea to use thrifted linen napkins and to dye them into Halloween colours! The appliqués add that touch of witchy quirky vibe and of course your pumpkin dress is the perfect garment to wear the apron with! And oh my, what a ginormous petticoat. It would certainly not be a good idea to go on the tube in it. Unless you're in a very antisocial mood hehe! Thank you for this collab and I look forward to many more! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much for liking my apron, it did turn out as I hoped it might! The crinoline was a cheap bought one and was more ginormous than I had anticipated!! It does make the skirt look like a pumpkin … only not the kind of pumpkin skirt I can actually go out in!! Thank you for doing this collab with me and here’s to many more! 🍂🧡🍂🦉🧡
Samantha I love your Halloween apron, it looks fabulous on you. It also goes perfectly with your Halloween dress. Your applique is perfect for this project as is the patchwork dyed napkins. I couldn’t help but see the Rayburn stove in the background. We had one in our house when we were kids, I would love one in my house now. 😁😁❤️❤️🌺
Thank you very much Lenore, I’m so pleased you like the apron 💗 My mum made it first and I thought it was such a pretty shape. You recognised a Rayburn stove! It’s actually in my mum’s house. It was there when she got the house and is so characterful and decorative I was insistent that she keep it even if it’s not the easiest thing practicality-wise! I think she loves it now. Also so convenient for drying socks, wet towels etc!! And a lovely focal point in the room 🦉 🍂🧡🍂
Thank you very much! My mum made this apron first and I thought just the same about the flounced cross-over straps! I’m so pleased you like it and thank you for your encouragement 🍂🦉🍂
Ingenious Halloween project Samantha and you look wonderful in the pumpkin dress and apron. So many clever and creative ideas. Love the colours you dyed, the patchwork, the applique too, all beautiful and I very much appreciate the sustainability. I need to make more patchwork aprons, having only one, imagining an owl apron inspired by your applique 🦉❤
Thank you very much, I’m really thrilled that you appreciate the whole creative process of making the apron. My mum volunteers in a charity/thrift store so I’m very aware of how much extra stuff there is, more than can ever be sold on, and vintage linens are such high quality too! A patchwork owl apron sounds wonderful - very decorative! 🦉🧡🍂
I remember very well your pumpkin dress make. A real highlight and one of your most memorable makes. Great job with the Apron Samantha. I could not imagine myself spending so much time on a project. You are so skilled and patient. Nice dog cameo in your video.
Thank you very much Ian. I’m trying to comfort two terrified dogs because of the fireworks at the moment. I hope your cats are alright. Thank you also for remembering the pumpkin dress, I realise I’ve been doing UA-cam for quite a while now and have had your kind support from the start.
You are so creative! ✨ I love how your apron turned out and it looks fabulous over your pumpkin dress. 🧡🎃 It is an outfit filled with vintage Halloween charm. I love it so much!
Thank you so much Katie 🧡 I think I will keep adding to the embroidery, which is my favourite part of the process! Thank you for all your support since I started 🍂🧡🍂
That’s so lovely to hear and happy Halloween to you too 🎃 Both bats were a little tubby for their costumes!! But of course I also think they look adorable in them! Thank you so much for watching and your encouragement 🍂🧡🍂
Hi Samantha!! Here I am 😊 I've had a rocky couple of weeks and been MIA. However, I loved seeing this project 🦉🐈⬛🎃 and what a cutsie apron pattern 🍂🧡🍂 but hats off to the appliques 👏🏼 Stunning embroidery which brought them to life. Well done 🌟 and well done too 🦇 🕷 little helpers 😂
Lovely to hear from you Rowan and thank you very much 💐 I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been having a bad time. I also wasn’t so great a month or so ago, which was why I was missing on here. Trying to get back on my feet now. What are we like?! We need to be having tea and cake in Porlock! 🍰 Thank you too about the embroidery. It’s one of my favourite things to do. I actually did a diploma in it, which my brother thought was tragic 😆 I’m pleased someone appreciates it!! 🍂🧡🍂🦉
Thank you very much, I’m so pleased you like it. I planned to make the skirt more pumpkin-like with the crinoline but I succeeded beyond my expectations!!
@ I did! I’m so sorry I meant to write and thank you the moment I finally got the apron video out! So kind of you and I have the perfect fabric for one of them already. I do enjoy 60s style xx
ha ha, you can see they’re multiplying can’t you?! I bought the 99k from a junk yard for £5 but then spent £105 having it restored! I couldn’t resist it because it’s so compact albeit that it weighs a tonne. Thank you very much for watching.
@@Samanthalovestosew Now that it's fixed up it will last a lifetime. If it's any indication, the original price, adjusted for inflation, was £1,360. And it was marketed at the economy model!
Hi Samantha! This is so adorable! I love the cute embroideries! They add so much to this. And the dyes turned out beautiful. Love it! 🦉🐈⬛🎃 It's a shame the crinoline was too large. Definitely not good for tight spaces lol😊
Hi Laura! Thank you very much 🧡 I really enjoy appliqué and embroidery. I nearly filmed the dyeing process but every surface in the kitchen was covered with pots and saucepans of dyeing napkins! It was too much mayhem already. I’m at the crinoline with wire cutters and duct tape now to see if I can shrink it down to a more manageable size! 🍂🦉🧡🍂

Such a creative fun make! The apron is such an attractive shape, and I like how covering it is so you can 'halloweenfy ' any outfit you wear it over.
Thank you very much Bella! I’m not sure all my kitchen pots and pans have fully recovered from the dyeing episode but I’m not much of a cook anyway!

I love the big flounced crossed over straps, the apron back is stunning , a creative fun and beautiful outfit!

That’s so kind of you, I’m really pleased you like my pumpkin / Halloween apron 🎃 and to hear you’re watching my videos! Thank you very much 🍂🧡🍂
love how the dyed fabric turned out! what a fun project!
Thank you very much! I actually had lots of the dyed napkins left over - enough to make a patchwork skirt I think! 🍂🧡🍂

@Samanthalovestosew Well we don't listen to your brother do we! 😆 What does he know 🙄 I shall send you a message xx
oh, it came out so cute and it works well both with crinoline and without :) lovely project and execution
Thank you very much, I’m so pleased you like it. I planned to make the skirt more pumpkin-like with the crinoline but I succeeded beyond my expectations!!
That is glorious, full of Halloween joy, love it xxx
Thank you so much, it was a fun project! Hope all well with you xx
@@Samanthalovestosew life is a little chaotic but love it, did you get the patterns?xx
@ I did! I’m so sorry I meant to write and thank you the moment I finally got the apron video out! So kind of you and I have the perfect fabric for one of them already. I do enjoy 60s style xx
Love your apron! Now you need to make a similar one for Christmas.
Now there’s an idea! And thank you so much for your encouragement!
A lovely Singer 99K joins the herd! Be careful not to leave your vintage sewing machines unattended as they tend to multiply if you aren't careful.
ha ha, you can see they’re multiplying can’t you?! I bought the 99k from a junk yard for £5 but then spent £105 having it restored! I couldn’t resist it because it’s so compact albeit that it weighs a tonne. Thank you very much for watching.
