Love your tutorials and your voice is soothing. You explain things gently . Thank you.

that is the most clever waistband trick ever!! A much cleaner look and fast. Than you, wish I had known this when making little girl skirts years ago.

Thank you so much 🩷 This video has helped me make an apron for my sister! I also really appreciate that you don’t have loud music playing when you speak. Thank you!

Love the way you sew the waist band and straps! Great instructions!

Jan, you are remarkable. Love these fabric prints you used. Adorable aprons. Thank you.

This video was GREATLY appreciated!! We have Wurst fest coming up and I couldn’t find an apron I liked. All the tutorials I could find were so complicated, I nearly threw in the towel. I found this video and (5 hrs later… operator error) now have a beautiful apron to wear with my Dirndl! Thank you again! 🖤

I have made three of these so far for Christmas presents. Thank you for the great tutorial. I purchased the PDF pattern as well.

LOVE the way you turned out the waist tie! Wonderful tutorial. I'm new to sewing, though I think I can handle this due to your concise verbal directions and visuals. Thank you!!

What a great tutorial! I can't wait to get started!

Thanks, Jan! I watched this video the day you posted it and whipped up an apron that evening. Easy and enjoyable. I always learn new ways of doing things from you. 🙌🏼

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I will give it a go over the weekend. I was looking all over the Internet for an easy-to-understand and follow half Apron tutorial.

Great tutorial and love how you did the straps. I like that idea.

This is by far the easiest pattern and directions I have seen. Thank you.

This is the exact video I need. I have 1 yard of a really cute fabric and this apron is exactly what I was looking for. The instructions are clear enough for even me to follow. Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! 😁

What a great tutorial! I love the way you did the strap

This is a great tutorial! Great method of sewing an apron! Thank you!!!

You have a new fan here. I appreciate how thoughtful your videos are, and that you explain everything. I may be old, but I am a new sewer. Thank you!

I did it! Thanks for the tutorial! I now have an apron that matches my kitchen curtains :)

Great video!!!

Great video, just what I was looking for. Great way of turning the ties. Will now attempt to make one! Thank you.

This turned out so cute!

Very cute! Great video...you explain everything so good!

Love your video! Thank you for all the tips

Thanks for the great tutorial! I had to make 12 aprons this week for a dance performance and was able to whip them out over a couple days. Super easy directions and I love the way you make the band - works really well.

Thank you so much. I really like this pattern and have made several. You gave wonderful instructions. Thanks again 💙

This is a great learning video.Thank you so much for posting this.❤🎉😊

Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

Super cute and useful video, can't wait to start making these with my daughter!

Jan your voice is so calming, even though Im am an advanced sewer I picked up several tips and shared your video

Great tips..making a few for Christmas gifts

This is almost identical to the apron I learned to sew in 7th grade home ec class! The memories… It’s a shame that neither of my children were taught any of this in school. The high school I taught in for 30+ years removed its machines years ago

SO FUN, I spent the day making one by your video, it turned out great!! Thank u so much for taking the time.

In a 7th grade art class ages ago, we turned this farmhouse kitchen-style into couture-class, layered tulle cocktail and dinner party aprons. It was very easily done with several yards of designer tulle remnants gathered into beautiful bouffant aprons. The densely gathered tulle aprons were invisibly machine-sewn into foldover bowtie sashes made from wide grosgrain ribbon in complementary colors. Some of us made elaborate beaded and sequinned felt appliques for the tulle skirts. Beautiful unadorned gift aprons were quickly made from ombre layers of matte or iridescent tulle. Recipients loved them. They looked very expensive and were always admired worn over silk and velvet hostess skirts.

LOOKS VERY SIMPLE THAKS FOR SHARING

Thank you for doing this!

this was a great listen and easy to follow… let’s go try😊

Love your videos!!

i needed a simple gathered half apron, but the ones at the store were too expensive, so i opted to make my own, but i had never sew a stich in my life. but i tried anyways and i was shocked with how well it turned out! it was incredibly easy to follow the instuctions and it was just so great.

Thank you 😊for sharing 🤗

fantastic tutorial

Gorgeous ❤️

Great project. I loved it. :)

My daughter in law wants me to teach her how to sew an apron and I'm a new sewer myself. I had no idea how to do pleats so thank you for this tutorial.

This is how I was taught. Nice demonstration! I prob would just do top stitch and use a 1/4 or .5 inch seam..

Looks fairly easy

I am teaching myself to sew in my mid 50's. I avoided Home Ec. in school and focused on music. Anyway, you are one of my two go to's for sewing videos. I love your straightforward tutorials. They are easy to follow and you explain the why...I will be attempting to sew one of these aprons in the next few weeks.

I’ve made a bunch of these years ago but I didn’t quite remember how. Great video reminder.

adorable!

This waistband trick made me sew so much faster I have started using it on dog clothes too I can make amazing dresses for my baby in no time she’s quiet extravagant she loves alot of puff and tulle and sparkles before putting a tiny waist band on made it so hard because it’s little already but now I use this trick on anything that I am making that’s using ties

Clever with the tape!

I love it! I wish the camera could come in a little closer. Thank you 😊

BEE-utiful Jan!! Great tutorial, very thorough! I'm sharing this with my friends in a upcoming FB Group Challenge. Hopefully you will get more subbies.Happy Spring my Sweet Friend.. Positive Blessings, vibes peace, health and happiness! Namesta ✌️🐞🕉️

So much easier than the pattern explanation

Enjoyed your tutorial and your teaching method! Question: Is there a way to calculate how wide to cut the apron if making for a larger person?

Thank you, so easy to understand and follow. I need help to make a dog training bag with an insert with a draw string on the lining oh also a zipper in the front of bag. Can you help. Blessings Anna Nickel

Could you do a video on a farmhouse apron or pinafore apron, cross back apron

How do I download and print the pattern? thankyou. Subscribed

I love this floral fabric, do you have the name of it?

This is so cute! I'm a beginner sewer. Do you know if this could be used as a garden harvest apron, or would something need adjusting for more heavy duty use? Thanks for the great videos!

Ready to sew mine. Are the ties the same length and width for the children's size? I adjusted the apron fabric, per your measurements, but what about the ties?

Cute apron! Only one question? Does a half apron suffice for anything but a serving, hostess apron? I would definitely get spills and spatters on my clothing above the half apron’s coverage. Therefor, I always sew full coverage apron styles!

Did you run two rows of basting to do the gathering.

Love the pattern and am making a child's size. What size is the width of the child's apron?

Can't wait to try this, tyvm 🩷

🥰

Where did you get your iron from

I would have liked to seen a better view of the apron you just finished, maybe next time. Also I will be making a couple for Christmas, thank you.

How would I put pockets on it?

Can you add pockets?

How can I use an old shirt I dont wanna get rid of to this apron? Like its an old concert shirt. How can I get that on top of this fabric you are using? I am a beginner so I do not know correct terminology

It's a great video but I don't understand the measurements. Is the width of the fabric 44" ? What is the length?

Hi, hello I'm Watching, mama Sofia

is there a way to turn a full size apron into a half apron? if so how?

I like the idea, but how can you put your hands in the pocket??? The separations are so narrow 🤔

If it's got to be 44 inch that's more than a yard a yard is 36 inches so I'd need more than a yard to make a apron plus more cloth for the band and ties

Hello Ma'am First time I saw your video, I liked your teaching, I am from India. Somewhere I confused as you didn't show text. Somewhere difficult to understand ascent. How much length you taken for this half appron. I noticed your text where you mentioned 40 × 20" . So that means you taken: Length 20" and Gathere 40" Is it my understanding correct or not. When I see more and more your videos I will understand properly. Thank you.
