Always have loved Mary's unique ideas. The crisscross apron is my favorite because I'm bigger, it works better. Really want to buy Mary's pattern with all the extra notes. Please tell me how to do that.
@@StitchitSisters Hi, Thank you for the reply. I've already ordered the patterns and a few other things I need. When I was originally watching, there were not any notes under "Show More." But I see them now. I went back to the video and at the very end, Deanna mentioned the website, so I went to it. I used to buy lots of things from Nancy, but haven't bought anything in quite a few years, so I couldn't find the old web site. Thank you again.
I’m having trouble with the cross cross back apron. How do you adjust it for an average size person to get more coverage around the sides and back? The pattern seems to only lay properly and work for small people.
Hi I love the second apron with the slip knot neck area and tied waist. My sister in law wants one. She is sized double extra large, and 5 feet tall (just). She wants to take the tie to the back, criss- cross the ties and bring to front and tie off at around her waist area. Any suggestions with your patterns?

Hey Ladies, Any suggestions for substitute fabric for apron ties? When I make cotton aprons and wash them, the ties come out of laundry wrinkled and scrunched😬! As I like to wear a clean apron every day I don’t want to take time to press out the ties🫢. I don’t mind hitting the apron body w/a quick steam press, but NOT the ties - takes too much time (I’m 78 and my time is running out). Thank you, Mary V. 🍀

Love Mary Mulari's aprons. She did a workshop for The Sewing Studio in Durham, CA when I lived in Chico. I live in Arlington, Texas now and am sewing the No Strings Attached apron. What has me stumped is sewing the two shoulder seams together and making them hidden, then topstitching all around the finished front. I know how I can sew it a different way, but it involves turning it back wrong side out, stitching the shoulders together, then turning it right side out again and just topstitching through each shoulder seam to secure. The diagram in the pattern seems like having to sew inside a tiny little circle. Any ideas from anyone who has sewn the No Strings Attached apron?
Hi Kathie, Thanks for choosing Mary's No Strings apron pattern. Connecting the shoulder strap together for this reversible apron involves just two short, straight seams. The pattern illustrations in Step#8 show the original pinning of 3 layers together(left top illustration). Next illustration -on the right side of the instructions-sewing across those 3 layers, and then unfolding the apron front and back so they’re flat instead of layered. The unfolded illustration is on the left side and shows that same seam with the top, loose layer pulled back. The 4th step is at the bottom of the step #8 instructions and it shows topstitching over that 4th layer of fabric to cover the original seam through the 3 layers. There is no sewing in a circle required for this assembly. However, Mary always encourage users of her patterns to assemble the apron in their own preferred method. Special note: This pattern has been out of print for several years, and the Crisscross apron pattern has taken its place. marym@marymulari.com
My criss-cross apron pattern is in transit. I will make it next week for my barista daughter!

I just bought the pattern and fabric but haven't started yet.

How do you get the extra sheet for the non reversible pattern. I have the pattern but I want to make it non reversible
Do you have these fabrics in your new store in Beaver Dam?
