Making an Apron - Sewing by Hand Video

Sewing supplies at our table.

I had an apron project in mind for quite some time. I had been putting it off for months because the hardest part, for me, is making the effort to lay out the pattern pieces and cut them all out.  A solution was presented to me, one day, by a dear grand-girl who wanted to do it for me.  She was such a great help, and we were able to get the pieces cut and put aside. 

My favorite part of making something is sewing by hand.  Prepping the work is exhausting. But the actual sewing is such a peaceful form of recreation as I sit to sew or mend. 

There was a request for a video to show the process of making an apron by hand. After a very long wait, the video has been finished and is ready to share.

For those who are interested, here is a link to watch:

This is just a very basic introductory video. I hope you find it helpful. 

I will write more soon!

Blessings

Sewing was an art I could never quite master, except for putting a button back on or fix a hem. You're so talented, Mrs. White. Blessings!

A lost art. I remember having a "homemaking" class in High School, teaching cooking, sewing, budgeting, etc. Life skills. They just don't do it anymore. How sad. You are a living testimony of the Proverbs 31 woman.

I will enjoy watching this. I love to sew with my machine but I definitely need to practice my hand stitiching!
