I don't know why people when they make video think they need music. I just love to listen to the person speaking.
Thanks for the feedback Iris!
Yes I Agree! It's distracting. Some videos I don't finish because of this.
All the natural light you have in your sewing space is amazing!
Thank you! It’s one of my favorite rooms in the house because of all the natural light.
Really enjoyed watching this and feel inspired to make one myself thank you. Shame about the annoying background noise sorry music
Thanks for the feedback! Our future videos won’t have music during the talking 👍
@@thefriendlyfox That is good to know! I also couldn't hear you clearly over the background music, and when I tried subtitles I couldn't see what your hands were doing.
@@zelliehtrue thanks for letting us know about the subtitles, I wish CZcams would give us the option to place them either at the top of the screen or the bottom.
Well, opinions are ...well like... you know...
I liked the music..cute... Maybe you and I could both grow some tact as we express ourselves.😳
How much did you pay for this tutorial? Free? Well tact doesn't cost anything either. Because it doesn't fit your choice doesn't make it"sorry".
Agree with everyone else. Great video but lose the music or make it much more quiet and turned off when you are talking. There a ton of vendors selling cute water resistant canvas which would be great for an apron.
Thanks! We’re editing our next sewing video now and have adjusted the music 😊 vinyl would be great!
Well, not EVERYONE else..
Seriously, not trying to be a byatch, but I couldn’t finish the video, because of the music. It gave me a bad headache. You don’t need it.
Very well done! I enjoyed the music too as it seamed (pun intended) to go very well with the entire show. Thanks!
You understood my goal with the music! 🩷
Loved this tutorial! From the tone in your voice, mannerisms and clear to the point explanation is refreshing! I look forward to seeing more videos. Thank you! Nice sewing area lots of great light.
Thank you! Good lighting makes such a difference when sewing 😊
Excellent tutorial! I recommend after clipping your curves, trim those seams down to reduce the bulk in those seams.
Great suggestion!
I love how it came out. Thank you for sharing 🙂 I also love love the view from your window and your sewing room 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
And OH MY GOODNESS ! The view you have outside is breathtaking !
Thank you! That’s a big reason why we put the sewing/craft room where it is 😊
I love the pattern, by the way, you have a beautiful view out of your window.
Thank you!
What an amazing view!
Thank you! It’s my family farm :)
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I can't wait to try and make some.
Hope you enjoy it!
I agree please turn the music down or off very distracting
Thanks for the feedback Susan
Pls loose the Music.
Thanks for the feedback!
I love the music! Really enjoyed it!
@@chandassouthernkitchen250 The music made me smile! The music reminds me of my childhood days watching cartoons 😂
The music sounds like WB "Warner Brothers" cartoons, Bugs Bunny show, Flintstones & other kid shows
@@TheMzTR lol ❤️
So easy to follow and make with lots of time saving shortcuts that simplified the project! 👍👏 and I'll challenge myself. 💜
So happy to hear you enjoyed it!
I have been looking for an apron for farmers market. This one just might be it! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Hope it works for you!
Hi! After watching this many times I learnt 2 very useful things, stitch in the ditch, having seams to face the tummy, thanks for this.
Great takeaways! Thanks for watching!
I'm going to have to make one of these for myself. Great video. I have to wear a head set to watch videos, your voice came through loud and clear! Thank you so much.
Thank you! I used a headset to edit the video so maybe that explains why some people hear the music louder!
I'm in awe of your ironing board, I need that in my life. Your skills are fantastic. Love the polka dots.
Thank you so much!
A nice way to customize an apron. Whether making it longer, shorter or different fabric it can work.
Yes, exactly! A great project to customize to what you want.
Ditto. Your home is beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
I loved the music! It was fitting for a time when aprons were an everday necessity. Maybe adjust the music volume down or your voice audio up to please those complaining. I'm not sure how all that works on the backside of these videos.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Yes, the music track is WAY too loud compared to the vocal track. Most CZcamsrs are terrible at balancing audio levels. My husband is a professional videographer and audio levels are a critical part of what he does in his professional work every day. He's taught me how to do it in my own videos (mine are just for fun). It's called EDITING. Meaning, you go back and actually *listen* and *watch* your video after you've recorded it, checking to see if the vocal track can be easily heard and the music levels are not too loud or distracting (which in the case of this video, they are). For some of us, too-loud music makes the entire video un-watchable.
I love it, so pretty. What an awesome view! Thank you
Thank you 😊 The view is one of the best things about this part of the home.
Thanks love the color
Thank you!
It is the first time I have watched any of your tutorials. Just subscribed. Thanks again!
Thanks for subscribing! :)
Good work on this apron, easier than a similar apron style I've been making. Well planned out. Thanks
Glad you like it!
Wow you are still using your Pfaff 1222E machine. It beats all the newer models. Best machine I ever had. Enjoyed the tutorial easy to follow and listen to. Not sure about the music.😊
Thank you! This machine has been my favorite since I bought it and that was in the 70s. The new ones just can’t come close!
Amen to old machines! I have a Bernina machine that I bought in 1978 and it's still going strong! It is a solid workhorse and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
I had a Singer from the 70s and just loved it. Was so sad when it died about 10 years ago.
Thank you for showing us how to make this apron, It looks like even I could attempt to make it.
It’s a great project for those just starting!
Thanks for sharing this. Will definately try making one for myself soon.
Thanks! Have fun!
Wow I love how simple you made this, very nice thankyou
Glad you like it!
I made a similar apron and when I tied it on, I couldn't get my hands in the pockets. It was too flat. So I had to put little tucks in the side seams at the top of the pocket stitching. It worked.
Great suggestion!
I have a way to make this with adjustable straps/ ties. Make casing and insert the straps. It’s so easy & fits anyone. . Just thought I would mention. Enjoyed your video. Thanks.
Great adjustment! Thanks!
Nice apron!
Thanks!
It is hard to watch with music turned off, as it is distracting, but of course lost all language , So I gave up and turned off😢
Thanks for the feedback! We’re going to leave the music out in future videos 😊 the only option for this one would be to turn on the captions with the sound off.
Glad to hear that you will stop the music. Made it very hard for me to follow you.
Nice tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing. Loved the apron, I want to give it a try. 🥰😍👏👏👏👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Great job. Way above my skill level.
Thank you! Just takes practice!
You made this look so easy! I may have to try this. Thank you!
You can do it! We just added a pattern link in the description if you need it.
Thanks really nice and easy to follow tutorial. Will look forward to see what you make next.
Thanks Trish!
Love this! Music is fun, reminded me of the show Bewitched ❤
Thank you! Love that show!
I love it!! I'm going to make some of them for my sister and I 👏😍
Exciting! Best of luck!
Hi from France! First time I see one of your videos. Subscribed now. Thanks for sharing.
Nice sewing room with beautiful snowy landscape. Peaceful sewing moment. I love your fabrics, and this pink is surely very agreable to wear. Happy and healthy new year
Thank you! Yes, one of the best things about this room is the view! I always like to choose bright and fun fabrics when I can. Happy and healthy year to you too!
You have a gorgeous view!
Thank you!
Great tip for the binding/ties.
Glad it was helpful!
Music is too loud, can't hear a thing you're saying.
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice video. Love the views out of the sewing room windows. I need to make some aprons too. I have been watching videos for patterns, maybe I will make my own. Don't like the background music Best wishes to you
Thank you! I love a nice view when I’m sewing. Best wishes to you as well.
@@thefriendlyfox love the mountains.
Nice video 😊
Thanks 😊
So cute! How fun!
Thank you!
Could you sew the pocket sides and bottom at the same time ? instead of fussing with the pocket after you have stitched your divisions?
Yes! Sometimes when we are creating a pattern the first one is usually a prototype, you could definitely do it all in one!
Beautiful thank you for the instructions
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for an easy tutorial. A litt5hard to see. May need more lighting.
Noted! Thanks for the input.
I enjoyed the music in the video!!! I guess I was more focused on really watching and learning your process...it was a little fast paced for "beginner sewers" who really do need a slower demonstration or breakdown on each process like measuring, measurements and bias cutting... Great explanation on stitch in the ditch and why it is used.
Otherwise great video...looking forward to more.🪡
Thanks Lynn!
Beautiful job. Thank you for sharing.❤
Thank you! 😊
A lovely little apron and comprehensively explained; good job. Would have liked longer ties, to tie in front; have stuff fingers so that makes it easier for me. I'm sure that could be attained by just making longer ties. 😊
Thank you! Yes, you could! The length on the strap is 60" but could be made to 90" and that should allow you to tie in front.
I tried one already, need to make the pocket deeper.
Deeper pockets can be great if you plan to use this for cleaning, gardening, etc.
Nice tutorial but that music was distracting
Thanks for letting us know!
Hermoso, lo haré....no se mucho de tecnología pero tratare de mandarle foto
Excelente!
Love this craft apron! I will be making one soon! I don’t know why I haven’t thought to make one a long time ago! A craft apron with pockets will save me the time of constantly looking for things I just put down!😅😂.
That’s exactly why I love mine! 👍
@marcysikes Really! You like it that much! You must! Because you can't stop using exclamation marks! Wow! 🙄
@@kj3d812 I couldn’t figure out which statement was most important!😂 I still haven’t made the apron yet. Working on another project right now but just ran across this tutorial again. This time I even printed out the pattern. I hope it won’t be another 6 months before I can say that I made it‼️😊 This time I subscribed to your channel.
It sounds like Disney world park music… now I want to go!!! Haha
I agree!
Cute. Congrats on all the views :)
Thank you Teddy!
Nice project, but agree the music is really distracting
Thanks for the feedback!
Great easy pattern. Would have liked how you measured done slower so I could tell exactly where you measured! Am a newbie when it comes to making my own pattern to fit me. I like this style and the big pocket. I agree on the music.....you don't need it as was hard to hear you! Everything else was great!!
Thanks Marilyn! We’re planning to cut music down for future videos and include measurements 😊
Nice apron. Love the way you added the pocket.
Is there a reason why you sew with a small platform on your sewing machine? ❤
My machine is from the seventies. It’s been through five kids, over a half a dozen moves, and I’ve lost that plate and all the feet!🤣. As she goes in for her spa treatment this year, I’ve ordered the replacement parts. She’s a grand machine and deserves better!
You are amazing! Too fast for me though!😂
Thank you! Years of practice 😅
Lovely watching you make this. I would like it to be a little longer....and yes music too much!❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thank you! 😊
Love your WIP N CHATS. Where is your oldest daughter's friend in Virginia, I'm also in Virginia.
Thank you!
Clear and easy tutorial. Have to ask about your great ironing board and cover. Love the grid pattern/measures. Can you share your source? Thanks!
Thank you! It’s a quilters ironing board. I bought it from a sewing store when they were getting rid of the sample.
I just had a look and found a few online and a foldable one on Amazon. I searched for “quilters ironing board”. 😊
@@thefriendlyfox Thank you.
@@TWMAC2011 No problem!
I bought an 18" x 48" piece of 1/2" plywood at Home Depot and covered it with cotton batting - has to be all cotton, polyester would melt from the heat of the iron - and then a lightweight natural canvas. I just put it on top of my ironing board and it stays put, although it could be moved to a counter or any place you'd like. It works very well and was much less expensive than ones I've seen to buy, and it only took about 40 mins to make. Oh - the wood could be MDF or shelving, etc. It just needs to be heavy enough to not bend.
What a great Apron !, but as a beginner sewer I was so lost how you made the pattern at the beginning. You explained the sewing techniques wonderfully
Do you have a pdf file for the pattern?
Thanks for the feedback Belle! Yes, after watching the video back I realized I glossed over the pattern part. There is a link to a PDF pattern in the description of the video 😊
LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern and how easy and quick it is. Thanks so much. (the background music made it hard to hear you 😞)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know!
Well, I can't stop commenting 😂. Is the apron sturdy enough without being lined? Through your video, I kept thinking that I'd want to line it, but when you put it on it seemed fine. I guess you just need to find a fabric that is a bit heavier than quilting cotton, for instance?
I use this apron when I’m cleaning my house. It’s really handy when giving your vehicle a clean. Crafting and gardening……seems I wear it for a lot of things 😊. This one is made from a cotton that’s about the same weight as quilting cottons. I suppose it could be lined and I’ll bet it would look lovely! Maybe reversible too!
Love ❤ love ❤ love ❤ your ironing board cover. Can you share where it’s from? Thank you
Hi Kathy! I love it too! It great for sewing projects as it’s a “Quilter’s Ironing Board”. It’s not so great for ironing clothes. (I keep two ironing boards set up). This ironing board is from Singer - I got mine from a small specialty quilting store but as I understand, the shipping was expensive so the company either stopped making them OR maybe they stopped shipping to Canada -where shipping is crazy expensive. You might be able to source one if you’re not in Canada or, with a little time, you might be able to make a cover for a regular ironing boarding
@@thefriendlyfox Thanks for your quick reply. I have a similar size ironing board that I bought from Walmart (I think). I’m interested in just the ironing board cover. Did it come with the whole setup or did you buy the cover separate? The squares would be so helpful with quilting and sewing.
The cover came with the board but I bet if you used a green cutting mat as your template, you could easily re-create the cover in a canvas maybe?
Agree with Zaria.
Sorry, Zarina.
Thanks for the feedback!
Certainly not a “less than” 20 minute project but never the less clear directions and a cute apron.
Thanks! I should have put "20 Minute Watch Time", I realized that after posting 🙃
Good video but I agree lose the music please
Thanks for the feedback Mirna!
Did you consider doubling the pocket material and sewing with the fold at the top?
I didn’t, great suggestion though, especially if you don’t mind using the extra fabric!
❤
Thanks!
Great apron but the music is too distracting. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I love this apron. Is there a pattern for it? Also, what presser foot were you using for stitching in the ditch? Thanks.
Thanks! We’re working on making the pattern available and the presser foot used for stitch in the ditch is just the standard foot.
@@thefriendlyfox thank you so much.
Why don't you a lining to the apron? The material looks thin and working in the kitchen it does not look sturdy.
Thanks for the comment! It’s meant for crafts, not necessarily for cooking.
@@thefriendlyfox Evan as a crafter, I would like a more sturdy apron. The fabric itself looks too thin for an apron period. If you lined it with a contrasting fabric, making it reversible, would have made more since. By doing that, the bias strip wouldn't be needed and would make a better looking apron. Add the pockets to each side before joining the two apron sections together.
I like your video and your pattern. I’d never seen that pattern paper before. I have a CZcams channel and I see you got a lot of flack over the music. I quite like the music, it just needs to be much lower and you should get an inexpensive mic to pare with your phone (camera) if that’s what you’re filming with. It takes a bit to figure all these things out, but you’ll get there.
Thanks for the support Sheri! Yes, I’m working on adjusting the music for my next videos.
Your quilting projects are beautiful.
I too, like the music very much, it was just a little loud - my mature (OLD) ears had a hard time hearing your voice. But I managed 😂, and loved your tutorial
Hi, Thanks for the tutorial and I may make one some day, I did appreciate your obvious expertise. However, how could anyone other than an expert make this in 20 minutes? I’m sure you personally can, and expert sewers too, but it can’t be a commonplace skill, especially given this seems to be aimed at people who watch this to learn. I don’t mean this in a mean way, I know you have to have enticing titles to gain viewers on CZcams, but to earn long term/repeat viewers you have to not fake draw them in. Meaning this in a kind way and not to discourage. I wish you tons of good luck. It’s a really cute retro apron!
Hi Ali, thanks for the comment. I should have said “20 minute watch” and I realized this after posting. On the newer videos I changed the wording 😊
@@thefriendlyfox
Wow pretty amazed you responded after it being a few months since your vid. I will check out your later videos. As I say, I didn’t mean it in any mean sense. Good luck to you and your CZcams endeavors. It’s a tough journey. I have sewed for about 30 years, as a side line, but am nowhere near as accomplished as you. So I’m sorry if I appeared criticizing.
@@aliwilson8734 I didn’t take offense 😊 Sewing I’ve been doing for decades, but CZcams I’m still learning!
I actually love the music, but it might be better behind your audio and volume lowered.
Thank you! Great suggestion!
Can u turn off music ver disturbing g
Thanks for letting us know!
Your computer or phone has a volume button so you can turn the music off yourself
The music is dreadful. It also drowns you out! The apron & instructions I could hear were great. Thanks for your work in making this tutorial.
Hi Helen, we’ve gotten a lot of feedback about the music, thanks for letting us know!
Really Good tutorial, but the music was kinda loud. Thsnks
Thanks for letting me know!
Love and appreciate the video. Very easy to follow. Music was too loud for me, but nice anyway.
Thanks! We’ve fixed the music to a better volume in our latest videos.
hi, music is a distraction and you are speaking over it.
Thanks for letting us know!
What is the yardage you used to make the apron, please?
2 yards
Awe you have a Pfaff just like me, sadly mine is broken again-frozen!
I bought that machine in 1977! I’ve had to have it repaired multiple times, but it’s just my favorite!
I love mine too but costing way more now for repairs. I bought it used (of course) from a sewing machine shop in 2013. Have had it repaired three times and can’t decide if I want to put more money into it, already more than what I paid for it...or what it’s worth(?)
I have other machines, like my workhorse Nelco I bought in 1978 & it has Never been to the repair shop!
What were your repair issues, if you don’t mind me asking?
Your Nelco sounds like a dream! The repairs I had done were 1) because the needle wouldn’t move, so the gears were seizing, 2) it wouldn’t zig zag and 3) the power cord/foot pedal had to be replaced.
As a musician, I'm probably the most critical person on earth when it comes to annoying music, however I didn't even notice the music til I read the annoying comments. I think that's hilarious and if you knew me, you'd think it was hilarious too. I was watching so closely hoping I would learn how to make this darling apron, I didn't hear anything but the sound of your voice.
I do have a constructive bit of criticism though, if you don't mind.... I can write a song about anything, play numerous instruments, blah, blah, blah, BUT I have never made an apron. I need some kind of idea for measurements. I must have that. Like if I was going to demonstrate to you how to write a song I would make sure you have everything you need to get started, not just a pen and paper. I'd give you rules for songwriting, etc. Just grabbing a guy's tape measure, placing it on your self, and hurriedly saying, "from here to here, then draw a line", means absolutely nothing to me. It feels like you're dangling a carrot and laughing.....if I watched this video 20 times I could not make this apron. How long is "here to here"? Where is the point of reference for the "here"?
Can you please think of the amateur sewist, and maybe realize that not everyone watching a "begginer" video is actually a seasoned professional? Thank you 😊
Great feedback, thank you! We’ll be sure to include measurements in future videos 😊
The music just gets in the way. Too load and annoying. Prefer to just hear your voice…love the apron by the way
Thanks Hilary! Yes we’ll be leaving out music in the future.
You could cut that music, the apron was great..
Thanks for letting us know!
How long is the bias
The bias is 60”
I liked the apron, it is cute, You gave very good instructions, I did not like the music playing because it interfered with you giving us instrustctions. I am probably the only one who feels that way, but it was annoying to me.
Thanks for the feedback! You’re not the only one, several mentioned the music and I changed it for future videos.
What a view for your sewing room.. Enjoyed your video but the music made it hard to concentrate on what you were saying.
Thank you! My newer videos have no music when I’m speaking 😊
Your music is very loud and hard to follow you.
Thanks for the feedback Diana!
Was interested, but the music was overpowering. At first, I thought it was the theme to the old TV show "Bewitched". Sorry, didn't stay for all of the video. 😢
Thanks for the feedback Cynthia
Lovely fabrics, workspace..I struggled to stay Focused, music very load and distracting..maybe something softer😊
Thanks! Yes, we softened the music in our follow up videos 😊
I liked your content, but the background music is super distracting. I had to turn the sound off. I gave it a thumbs up for effort, tho!
Thanks for the feedback Gail!
I love everything (and there is a lot to love!) about your video except for the unnecessary background music.
Thanks for the feedback!
I turned my volume down because the music was driving me nuts. Then I couldn’t hear you hardly at all…
Thanks for the feedback!
