Cross Back Apron Tutorial

[@amberrichardson3594]

Just finished this apron in about 3 hours. It’s only the second piece I’ve ever sewn but I’m in love. Thank you!

[@rosmariekdittmer-jerzy1044]

The finished work is amazing! No interfacing on dresses, tops, no bias for armholes etc and look how pretty and finished everything is. How I wish I had known the simplicity of it all. But what did I do 50 years ago? I followed all the instruction on the Simplicity Patterns without thinking. Thank you smart Woman!

[@jgrant1531]

Thank you, Thank you!! This is what I’ve been looking for. My daughter is homeschooled and this is one project we will be making. Young ladies these days aren’t taught to sew Home economics has been cut out of schools. Boys need it too but young women don’t have the skills they used too. My daughter is also learning to loom and crochet. Love your channel. Just subscribed

[@clrwrr]

Bless you for sharing this tutorial. I was given an apron like this by a Japanese friend a few years ago. It’s the only one I wear, makes so much sense to have good cover while cooking. I’ve been wanting to make some for friends. Now I can. I didn’t have the confidence to figure it out for myself.

[@anitafasano3701]

I made this apron in one evening and am completely satisfied with the outcome and directions.Thank you so much.

just finished sewing this as Christmas gift for my mother in law! i made a few mistakes (100% my fault, not yours!) but was able to catch & fix them before it was too late 😂 i’m so happy with the finished result. i hope she loves it!

[@madietheridge795]

This was only my third time sewing, and the instructions were perfect!! Thank you so much, I made one as a gift for my boyfriend’s mom. Your tutorials have been my favorite to follow since I started sewing!!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Oh my word, woman. How are you so productive with a newborn? You don't even look tired (even though I am sure you are). Thanks so much for the inspiration. I always feel motivated after watching you.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much Lisa! 😊 I have so much fun with this channel so I love working on it.

[@rosinyberg8747]

THANK YOU YOUNG LADY!!!! I successfully made a practice one of these last night (6/8/20)! Your directions were perfect! The good linen fabric arrives today!!!

[@rosinyberg8747]

Can I ask about strap length... because I am NOT slimline built... I can’t show you a pic of my results here...! I got my fabric today! B

So happy to have found this vlog. I look forward to making this apron. I've been wanting to make this style for a while now. Thank you for all of your vlogs & inspiration!

[@emmaohalloran6416]

I adore the look of this apron and am currently sewing one with my mom. I love it so much I’m thinking of asking for one for my birthday since I absolutely love to bake! Thank you for sharing!❤️

Thank you for sharing ... So good to see the younger generation sewing and begin creative ..

[@coleenguest751]

Thank you for this tutorial Lisa! Your calm voice, with clear instructions, and the gentle background music have me clicking over to amazon to order material for making an apron I've been wanting for quite some time!

[@melindafisher1584]

Essex linen is currently available on Fat Quarter Shop website for $11.48/yard vs. $15+ on Amazon. This is just a personal recommendation as I was pricing the linen. Great tutorial, thank you!!

[@momgrandma5496]

The aprons I’ve bought in the store don’t give enough coverage, this is fabulous.

[@hamnasamidon]

I made this apron for my mom as a birthday gift, I love how it looks! Thank you for this video, you're Instructions were very easy and clear to understand ❤

[@jenlynn6288]

How many yards did you need?

[@Xaforn]

I’m not normally a fan of ruffles of any kind but this came out really wonderful. I really enjoyed watching your project, now I definitely want to try.

[@PetaPanPipes]

Oh my goodness! I never thought to iron on the floor. What a great idea.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Haha I'm not sure if its a good idea or not, but its what I've always done! 😂

[@lindariccardohenderson1656]

Thank you for your time and wisdom while you share your instructions and video for the apron. I appreciate the ruffle options. Please consider placing additional layers on wax on your hardwood floors, heat and steam will shorten the lifespan and beauty of your floor.

[@dianneblackmon226]

I made your Pinafore Apron today and I Love It! Thanks again for the pattern. From Alabama.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Oh! Yay! I am so glad :)

[@jonawesolowski-thecommunit9968]

Oooh thank you Lisa! Im relatively new to sewing. Your instructions were awesome and i was able to make it (without ruffle) (what is a gathering stitch lol?) In

[@letscleanhouse]

Love this...I made one after I watched your first video with the kids. Yours is way prettier. I made mine out of a dropcloth and its my favorite apron style ever because its so comfy at the neck...Micah is adorable😀

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Oh I love the idea of using drop cloth. I bet that's pretty!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Thank you for sharing Lisa 💗👍🥰 Perfect. Take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC

[@rachelwright1180]

I love to experiment with Tie Dye and sometimes, that doesn't go as well as one might hope. I tried a different dye this weekend and ended up with muddy purple mess. Still good fabric. Guess it will be an apron now. Thanks!

[@gegeschannel8836]

So cute. I sew and will be making them for Christmas

[@lorashep]

This is probably for a person a size small. I made it and it’s super easy !! Now I have to refigure for a XL 😂

[@SweetcreationsbyRT]

If you figure out the XL measurements, do you mind sharing it?

My daughter teaches Kindergarten and also has fibromyalgia. As she is preparing to go back to the classroom yet still facing distancing and simply helping to keep everyone healthy, she is going to need to carry more stuff on her person. I am making her this apron and adding more pockets. She also will be wearing a scarf between her face shield and her body. It will enable her to still teach, not look so scary, and her classroom friends can see and hear how letters and words sound.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Good idea!

[@marvam1414]

Super cute I love it I can’t wait to try it

I might have missed how many yards of linen did you buy?

how many yards did you use

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

How about a video on how to use a serger? Do you have your machines tuned up on any kind of regular basis?

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I have had several people ask about the serger. Looks like its time for a video! I only take my machines in when they break, but I probably should be more proactive about it!

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

Farmhouse on Boone my sewing machine didn’t even come with directions for maintenance or how to oil it. Maybe they don’t need that anymore.

How many yards should I order? Thank you! I love your videos 🤗❤️

Thank you so much for thos this tutorial! Do you have a tutorial on the baby wrap you are using? Would love to make that for my nieces!

[@bethyboo1969]

Hi Lisa! Just wondering what I needed to do if I wanted to make this bigger. I’m a size 18? I love this apron!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Just increase the width a little, and strap length to accommodate. You want the main piece to overlap about four inches in the back, so measure accordingly. Hope that helps!

Ironing on the floor?

[@sandieblack4860]

Why not?

[@emmainteresting4880]

@@sandieblack4860 when I first got married I got brand new solid wood furniture. One day noticed husband's shirt needed a quick press. Yeah instead of dragging out ironing board I used table top, just for a couple of minutes. Table looked fine, but about a week later we started seeing the finish flake, and it only got worse from there. The wood can take it, but with the newer finishes on floors I wouldn't trust it to be safe.

[@TrulyNamaste]

Use a towel, no damage, quick ironing for the win.

[@rosepedal05]

Where do you get that material and what you use it for thank you vicky

2 yards. :)

Are you sewing an 1/8th inch to do the top stitching? Love this tutorial!! Where did you get your baby wrap? I ❤️ it.

That's probably what my topstitch is. Very narrow, but I don't measure. It is a solly baby wrap. I plan to do a wrapping tutorial soon. :)

Hi Lisa, would you do a vlog about sewing, sewing machines settings and maintenance? I have the exact same machine as you and my stitches come out funny. Either uneven, too much slack and such. I haven't used it much lately because of this and don't want to have to buy a new one, its barely been used. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes! I will put it on the list!
