Thank you so much!!! I appreciate all of you who watch the videos and enjoy and learn something from them. It really makes me motivated to keep filming.
I love pinner aprons! I was initially worried about poking myself and/or others with pins but I learned to weave the pins in finely and bury the points between the dress and apron-it keeps everything nice and contained. I've held babies, hugged people, etc., and no one's gotten poked (yet!).
I've read that so many times in period manuals, but I can't seem to get that to work. I break the thread so much that's it's just quicker to rip and iron flat or to cut along a check. It's just one of those skills that I can't seem to grasp as easily as other people.
Numbers two and three are traditional pinafore aprons; they literally “pin afore” (at the front). That’s where the word pinafore comes from, it’s now applied to other garments even though pins have long since gone out of use to attach our clothes!
Thank you so much for this. I have been sewing victorian style aprons and was wanting the pinner style. Did you use just a straight pin for pinning? Thank you for you videos
Thanks for watching. Yes, I just use straight pins as they would have done in the early 19th century. I've found that if you weave the pin in and out quite a bit then bury the sharp tip between all the layers (dress + lining + apron), no one gets stabbed-you, people you hug, or babies being held. :)
your channel is so underrated! I love all your work! Hope it’ll start to grow quickly, I’m liking all your videos, every little counts 😌

The pinned apron seems so much better to wear then one with straps that may slide off shoulders

Quick tip for straight edge on linnen pull a single thread out were you need to cut then follow this gap in the weave as a cutting line.

Il grembiule bianco e' il piu' bello non toglierlo
I like the white one, too, but I think the blue stripe is my favorite. Thank you for watching!
