Can you try traditional body & face care + daily routine from 17th & 16th century of different countries?? # TRY Everyday traditional food from different countries like Japan, France, UK etc # there is Buly1803 has body oil & wash made since 1800s + Aker fasi for red lip + the ionized cleansing face water as a face wash Also Japanese women used camellia oil for moisturising the face & the hair too + adzuki beans as face scrub + sake homemade toner ●for clothes there are the corsets & many old fashioned clothes from many brands available on IG & online

[@comfortzone964]

Also try the toothpaste they made in the 17th & 16th century + Bath routines from different centuries

Such a cute pattern. I want to share a few things I find helpful when making gathers in case you have novice sewers out there. One is to sew two rows of gathering stitches instead of just one. Not only is it helpful to already have that “bonus” thread if one breaks, but I find it is easier to pull two threads than just one. The second tip is to be sure to pull the bobbin thread as you gather. It seems to be a bit looser, therefore it pulls more easily. I usually pull on one end of the thread until I get to the middle, then I pull on the other end until it meets where the first one stops. Happy sewing, everyone!

I love this so much! I am the proud owner of a beautiful vintage and/or handmade apron collection and now I'm going to make a ton of my own! Lol. I have a feeling that everyone that I know will be gifted handmade aprons this year. Lol.

[@thetoysofchildhood]

This is so great! What an adorable apron.. love the ruffley heart bodice and pocket so much! Also love the retro color of your sewing machine 😍 Even the little heart pins you used were so cute! Another lovely video.. best channel on KZbin, hands down!💕

[@SageLilleyman]

Aw you are too sweet, thank you!!

[@AnaHernandez27000]

Her heart pins are so cute. She really makes everything so pretty and adorable.

[@joleennagel5356]

Wow I love the apron idea! You should start your own clothing line for the 1950s! I would definitely buy! Hope to see more! 😊😁👀

[@SageLilleyman]

Aw I'm flattered, thanks! :)

[@MissusRyan]

I love that fabric pattern, it’s pretty. 😊 Really looking forward to making my own aprons.

[@lauraraines767]

When I saw the title of this video, I said, YES!!!!!!!

[@qienna6677]

Thank you so much for explaining the crossover straps! I've always wanted an apron where the straps cross over at the back but I've never actually known how to do it. Mum has promised me we'll make me a cute apron once her sewing stuff is set up (she recently moved house). I'd do it by myself...but the last time I touched a sewing machine it was 20 years ago in school and I was distinctly in the not-gifted student category :(

[@erica_1ynn78]

I absolutely love this video! Everything from the music, to the cinematography, to the pattern of the fabric you used, its all so beautiful! Thank you for creating such a work of art! It was the perfect thing to watch cuddled up under a blanket on this rainy Sunday. ♥️

[@janesmith1398]

Thank you! I appreciate all the attention to detail as a novice. The apron is so pretty. I was looking to buy one similar. I should just make it. 🌸

[@SageLilleyman]

It's heaps of fun and great experience making your own apron! And each time you wear it, you appreciate it more because you made it yourself!

[@lochness132]

Yay!! Ive been wating for this since you started the cooking through the decades series. Thanks for another great video! Cant wait to make mine!

[@SageLilleyman]

Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@tarasantillo2095]

So cute. If you do two rows of gathering stitches the gathers behave a little better That's what my grandma drilled into me when we made skirts.

[@SageLilleyman]

Oh that's a great tip from your grandmother, thank you!

[@nancyhuenergardt8442]

I love it!!! You make it look so easy! I really like the bedsheet idea and I'll have to see if Goodwill carries old sheets! Maybe I'll raid my mom's linen closet to see what I can find! Lol. That could be some really vintage finds and it holds up in the laundry!

[@SageLilleyman]

Sounds like a good idea!! :)

[@loribayne8834]

I have two vintage aprons: one I found at an antique store and the other was handmade by my grandmother. It's very lightweight, almost handkerchief material. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@ItCameFromAVlog]

Oh my gosh that one apron is so precious 😍 the little heart shape and frills. Cuuute.

[@fraeuleinpusteplume2730]

Oh wow! The idea with the loops in the waist is amazing! I will do that on my next apron. So smart. I always had to button the shoulder steaps to the waist

[@SageLilleyman]

Glad it was helpful! I know it makes it so easy to do up each time you wear it! :)

[@krizzys]

Fab apron. I sort of expected a laptop you use to have a mechanical keyboard, and be made of bakelite though 🙂

[@jaelvictoria5771]

Omg I just found your Channel and I’m in love! Keep going! ❤️✨

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you so much!! 💕

[@CreationsOfAMoonChild]

I wanna make a really cute vintage apron! 😍

[@crystaldawnleslie1553]

Ya know I had been looking for an apron and now I do believe I want to make it ❤ thank you for this 🙏

[@lindeehopkins6439]

This is soooooo adorable! Love it!

[@rose_brier]

I shall definitely be making one! I'll also make one for my Granma.

[@constanceinberkeleyca8685]

Really Enjoyed watching U design & create/make this Apron!!! It's Cute, although I think I prefer the two (pink & blue) that U showed at the beginning of your video... This was Great, as I recently bought several cheap Aprons & several Vintage Apron patterns, in order to create Vintage Style Aprons out of very plain, no frills, modern things... I love the Ruffles!!! As, sadly, I haven't a body form /mannequin to put the Apron on, your trying on the Aprons helped me decide how I'd like mine to look. I haven't done any sewing in quite a few years, so this is "dipping my toes in the water" to see whether it'll get me back to it, or whether I'll simply leave the sewing to others & just shop for bargains. Thx again for the Wonderful Video!!! Really Appreciate it!!! ♡♡♡♡

[@candiceyoung8244]

I love pinking shears, they're a huge time saver,. Very cute apron, I like the heart front, so sweet. Thank you Sage for the video sweetie 💕🥰💕

[@nancyboruta7060]

This is the prettiest apron I have ever seen! I'm at a loss for words.

[@An-wk9ml]

So Cute. I don't even cook enough to wear an apron but I would so wear this adorable thing!

[@sarahdev7845]

Amazing work 💖 you’re so clever 👏🏻

[@LadyJaneBooks]

This was wonderful! I have been trying to teach myself to sew and I love vintage inspired clothing. This was a treat to watch!

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you so much!!

[@sherrindo]

Beautiful work!

[@claremiller9979]

I did it! I made not one but two very cute aprons, using an old black tablecloth with scalloped edges (very handy for making a fancy bottom edge with zero effort, lol). I made them during the latest Melb lockdown for my daughter and I, as a little project while she was home schooling. She said it was boring because she's 6 and I couldn't let her use the sewing machine, but she's very pleased with the end result. She also thinks you're very pretty, Sage, and clever at making things. Thanks for this tutorial, it was like riding a bicycle as I haven't sewn with a machine since high school, but I remembered a lot along the way (particularly how bad I am at sewing a waistband!) Might try my hand at pants next, from your other tutorial :)

[@SageLilleyman]

Aww your message made me smile!! That is so lovely to hear you made two cute aprons, yayy!! I hope you both get lots of wear out of them and good luck with all your future sewing endeavours! Sending love to you and your daughter xxx

[@brendaleverick3655]

Nice work! You made a lovely apron.

[@teatimeontablemountain9205]

[@msmw6159]

Your apron is so cute!! It suits you perfectly and your instructions were clear and easy to follow. I loved it all!😍

[@lindseysams2996]

This is so lovely! Going to try to use it as inspiration to make my own apron once I get back to my sewing machine :) I adore the one from your dining through the decades series, so this was an excellent tutorial! Definitely trying the pinking shears trick, too - great tip :)

[@usmc_sunscreenqueen]

Thank you for mentioning ironing. It makes a huge difference in the finish

[@kelliesue87]

I just bought my first sewing machine . I can’t wait to make one of these cute little aprons! Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@SageLilleyman]

Congratulations on your first sewing machine! I'm sure you will have lots of fun on your sewing journey!

[@briana01]

Thank you for sharing an enjoyable video! I get the feeling ironing is under-rated, yet with just that little effort it makes such a difference. All my best to you in your nursing career.

[@SageLilleyman]

Yes ironing is very under-rated! 😂 And thank you so much! ☺️

[@connieliscio5593]

Very nice pattern! Did not know it was so easy to make. I will try and make my own! Thanks Sage for another wonderful,educational video!

Since subscribing to your channel, I’ve started to wear aprons. Ironically bought over 10 years ago but never really worn them, too nice! Got fed up with dealing with grease/tomato stains on my clothes, after watching you, the apron came out of the drawer!!

[@shanam2953]

Love the agent carter vibes ! I discovered your channel few days ago thanks to the henna videos (that I use too, it's very common in Arabic country) and I really like it! Thank you for your lovely work! A subscriber from Paris^^

Adorable! Must make am apron.

[@PetraRobinson-gm8nh]

Very beautiful. I think I give this a go.

[@Emily_Easton]

You should look into making and selling PDF downloadable patterns for vintage and retro style clothing! It's really hard to find any decent patterns right now and I bet you could really corner that market. This apron is super cute. 💖

[@SageLilleyman]

What a great idea, thank you so much! 💕 I have thought about it a few times, I just have to get my act together and make it happen! Haha 😂

This is so cute and very easy! I haven't touched a sewing machine since high school, might be time to commandeer my partner's one he got for Xmas last year. There's an old tablecloth I have with scalloped edges that would be perfect (one less hem to sew, lol). Thanks Sage, you're a gem.

That sounds like the perfect apron!! I can't wait to hear how it goes! :)
