It was me! LOL I asked about Nurses aprons. Thank you so much! I totally would have bag lined the bib. This was such a huge help. And I greatly appreciate it. I'm going to try to figure out how to send the pining clip to the friend I'm making the apron for. :)
I’ve made myself quite a few aprons. I’m kind of obsessed with aprons of all styles. Lol. I like to make them as Christmas gifts. People love to have them but it’s not necessarily something they’d buy for themselves.
That's always an option! I find that in the 19th century, most gathering threads are left in so I do try to get "close" colors of thread, but that's not to say that they cared in the 19th century. I've seen plenty of non matching gathering threads left in original garments. I've also seen some matching threads left in. I see more "matching" threads on white, black, and brown garments as opposed to colored ones which is one reason I matched these instead of going contrasting. But contrasting is easier to see!

I bag lined the bibs on my first two pinner aprons. I need to take them apart to fix that, actually. I appreciate the video idea!
Interestingly, the word “pinafore” originated with pinner aprons! Pin afore means pin at the front!
I've heard that before! I wonder when pinafore began being associated to non-pinning children's over dress garments instead of aprons that pinned?

Aprons make great gifts!
I always use a contrast thread color when gathering by hand of course.helps me find the thread when it is time to actually gather the garment

@KatelynKearns Google to know! They can be a pain to remove
