Here is another cute transparent vinyl (?) apron in 1953 polish vintage film (pictures) "Can you fire the stove?". ruclips.net/video/m1ZFTpWcO4g/видео.html Apologizes non polish speaking people - subtitles are not available :(
@@andrzejborkowski6476 Thank you, Andrzej, for you have helped me immensely, even if this was not your intention. 😂 Curious about the transparent vinyl apron, I peeked at the film and ended up watching it in its entirety. Why? Because I am about to buy an old house with a cooking stove and a tile stove very similar to those in the flick, and the film taught me how to use them! 😊 Brilliant! 👍
I absolutely adore niche content like this. Like, am I into vintage aprons? No. Am I still going to watch a 10-minute video dedicated to nothing but vintage aprons? Absolutely
My Grandmother used to keep all her aprons from across the years. One of my favourite parts was picking out an apron from her collection to wear while we made food. This video brought back a lot of memories from that time in my life, thank you.
Right? Like, I analyse everything for years and then if sth turns out wrong, even when not through my own fault, I still get angry with myself because "I could have anticipated it". And here's Karolina just going at it. Good for her!
Saaaaame. I literally have an upcycling project (from thrift-store clothes) spread out across my floor right now because I have a ~~vague~~ idea what I want to do with it but I'm too scared to start 🙃
Ok now THIS I might actually do. I want to sew clothes for myself, but i feel overwhelmed at how complicated it can be. But an apron is like 1/3rd of a dress, I could totally start with that!
Good place to start. It was a typical starter project for first term sewing class when my mother was at school. They needed them for cooking classes. They had to learn fast. By summer they had to have made their summer uniforms! Partly an economic decision as people couldn’t be providing material for clothing that wouldn’t get worn and certainly it provided an incentive to learn, if you got it wrong you were going to spend summers for the next few years very uncomfortable.
Yes, definitely! The best thing about aprons is you can make them super simple--just some rectangles--and then go from there if you feel like getting fancier. Plus, it's an apron, designed to be worked in and stained and etc, so it's OK if it isn't perfect. Good luck with your first project!
And after that you can make an apron-dress (I don't necessarily mean the Viking kind, there's really cute modern dresses that are also called apron dresses 😅)
When I was a teenage…lord so long ago!..you wouldn’t catch me in an apron or hat or dress! Or the color pink! How strange age makes us! I won’t cook or clean without an apron! I live dresses especially in the summer and I love pink and lavender goes so well with my white hair! Yes!! I’m older than dirt but I love your channel! Love your hair! Love your personality! Absolutely love your short mini movies! Hilarious! You should be on the stage!
I wonder if your embracing of those things is easier now that no one is telling you that you *must* wear this or that? My mom always found it so funny that I used to love wearing gloves when I could, for example. She had such awful memories of *having to* wear gloves on certain occasions, hats for church, etc. and thoroughly embraced the freedom of the late 60s and 70s (when she "scandalously" had the audacity to go braless in the downtown department store of her hometown after returning from San Francisco 😲🤭).
But its ok for your guy’s granddaughters to act like hoes thinking there a man to sleep around like its ok?….Not knowing what they can catch?… 🤦🏾♂️ok…
What I hate about modern aprons is the neck strap. It always either feels like it is pulling, or it is so loose it's hanging down my back. What I love about vintage aprons are the shoulder straps actually over the shoulders or criss crossed in back. Plus they are darn cute with the pockets, ruffles and adorable (but useful) touches.
I remember making a bibless apron for my grandmother, early 1960s. It was green gingham with a cross-stitched grape motif. I had a lot of help from my mother, because I was only about 11 years old at the time. Eventually it came back to me, an old lady in her seventies.
I was cleaning my oven yesterday, and I did think briefly about wearing an apron, but I really needed something that would cover my sleeves. Thanks to a combination of caution and luck my shirt remained undamaged without protective clothing.
My favourite don’t have an iron but need an iron hack is a pot of boiling water. Thin towel between it and the fabric you’re ironing in case it’s dirty or to prevent scorching and you’re golden! The water keeps the heat for longer. Used it a lot in university. You can ask use a hair straightener on seams but I feel like people are more likely to have pots and pans than that.
For the red wool bleeding: a trick of my grandmother is to soak the garment in vinegar before you wash it, this will help set the dies and prevent bleeding.
Oh wow - the first apron is advertised in Amoskeag Gingham, which was made at a mill about 30 miles down the road from me in Manchester, New Hampshire! It was apparently the largest cotton textile mill in the world at one point, though it closed up shop in 1935 and now the old mill buildings have all been converted to loft apartments. Thanks for showing that advertisement!
I appreciate the pure chaotic energy on display here. Reminds me that sometimes you just gotta go for it and stop futzing with perfection. All of these looked lovely~
Tip for when you have no iron, if you have one of those steel hot water bottles you can fill it with cooking water, put on some oven mitts and roll it over the seams.
To see if a piece of fabric bleeds, soak a small piece in water, remove it, then scrub it with a paper towel. If the towel stays clean, the fabric should be safe to use.
The last one is the winner for me. I bet that will be the one you end up using the most. Maybe sew pot holders underneath at the ends to use the aprin to carry hot pots.
I remember doing cross-stitch on gingham fabrics with my Grandmother for aprons! Both she and my Mother had an apron for each and every holiday, so now I do, too. Total apron nerd. My Groundhog’s Day apron is adorable and my Martin Luther King Jr. Day apron is cotton with the Emancipation Proclamation printed on it! Boom!!!
Omg I missed those clothing sketches sm!! I think last time we saw them was in that “designing an 1890s wardrobe”. Also it feels very nostalgic to hear your videos accompanied by 1916 (or smth) music!!
My grandma used to sew me different aprons, when I was a teenager. My favorite one was the red apron styled on '50. I miss my grandma, this video is somehow nostalgic for me. Thank you.
Karolina, as someone who knows literally nothing about fashion the ability you have to just make amazing clothes on a whim is pure fantastical magic to me, it's incredible
In the mid 70s, I recall making aprons for Christmas presents for family members. I was in middle school or early high school. I can remember that I had no pattern, alot of gingham and rickrack. I have always wanted to make a pinafore style apron. It will get done! I don't know how I missed this video!
Omg a little contrast whipstitch border on the felt apples would be sooooo cute 🥺🥺🥺 especially with like a red yarn contrast stitch around the apron hem!
One of the things I enjoy about karolina's comments is the diversity in ages of her fans! It's so interesting to see the memories her videos bring up for people of all ages.
These are all super cute. Cutting straight into the fabric without even making a paper pattern first is bold! (love it). I use my apron as a tradie uses his overalls ie I wipe my hands on them and take absolutely no care with what gets on them. For that reason, cute little aprons without a bib are out, as are aprons made of anything thinner than denim or a canvas weave (sadly). Anything thinner and I risk what is on the apron staining what is underneath.
I remember my mom wearing aprons when I was a kid in the 60s. In the 70s she started working outside the home. Stopped wearing aprons,and started wearing pants (trousers) as well. 😊
I love aprons but always forget to wear them! I have a 60s one which belonged to my grandma. It's apple green and white gingham with white frill trimming, and the front pocket has hand-painted hens and chickens, countryside lush green grass, a far away barn and a sunny clear day. I love it and I hope to pass it down to my future children and grandchildren ❤️ IIRC it was a gift from a close friend of hers when she moved in with my grandad (:
I do not know how to sew, but I love watching you sew. It reminds me of watching my mom as a kid. She still sews, but since I don't live at home anymore, I don't get to watch her. I've always been amazed by people with this skill.
If you don't have an iron you can heat a pot of water and use the bottom if you put baking paper over the fabric! Maybe not for very delicate fabrics but for cotton etc. should work okay! 😊 Beautiful aprons btw, I love the one from the 50s especially! What a beautiful color
This video had the best kind of personal Easter Egg. The ad for the first apron is made from Amoskeag Gingham. The Amoskeag Mills are a HUGE part of of my home towns history (good, bad and ugly). Honestly, I think it's the driving reason Manchester grew to 'city' status. The Mill itself closed in the 1930s, but the buildings are still present and used for commercial space. And the dorms where workers lived are now apartments. However, despite (or maybe because of) it being such a **thing**, this is the first time I have seen an anything associated with their fabric outside of a museum, library, historical society setting. I no longer live in the area and It brought it was cool to see something from 'home' show up where I was least expecting it.
1:42 I have an apron I made with my mom and we made a huge deal about the pocket blending into it. It’s really cool fabric, and the pockets are kinda like a cool secret.
The 1940s one is similar to my dozens of handmade lolita aprons I made to protect my dresses from my frequent nosebleeds. 😅 so it was my favorite. ❤ but they all are fantastic.
I was so dubious when you started talking about the vinyl strapless apron but it looks fantastic with the glamorous silhouette! Amazing what you can do with hot glue and zip ties.
I definitely need to sew myself a 1950s apron now! Also even though you were winging it pretty much the whole time, all of those aprons turned out so cute!
My current favorite style of apron is this Japanese one that Claire Saffitz usually wears, it’s more like a smock without sleeves though. The apron that my grandmother wore from the 1930s till she died in the early 2000s was similar but it buttoned up the back
Loved this. I still have one of my mum’s aprons from the 60s. A bright blue check, with chickens on the pocket. I still remember her wearing it, from when I was a very small child. 💙🐔🐥
My paternal grandmother always wore an apron, they were the half length ones and usually had 2-4 pockets that were stuffed with tissues for wiping grubby faces or small spills.I have recently (aka the last 12 months) learned the value of wearing aprons. those 50s and 60s apron patterns really hit me with the nostalgia and must have been the time period Grandma got most of her apron patterns and designs from.
That 50s strapless apron is unhinged in the MOST 50s way!! My mom has a vintage vinyl apron (NOT strapless haha) that is probably the same kind of material as the original and let me tell you that stuff is STIFF, it pretty much stands up on its own. Even though your material was different it still turned out amazing on you!
Oh these are so cute! Reminds me of the aprons my great-grandmother made and embroidered for her kids. I’ve got my grandma’s (well-worn) apron and have never felt cuter than when I’m wearing it.
Nothing more nostalgic than aprons reminds me of the good ole days in those black and white movies love this 🤍I love the seventies aprons that were something like a vest and had buttons with flowers or butterflies on them too🦋
This was especially fun for me because I've been making an apron for a house-warming hamper! Now I really want that strapless one for myself... so cute!
I actually made a few aprons myself last year. In fact I still have the fabric that I bought for at least two more. I could definitely do one heart apron. I have a nice sort of wine red linen that I think would look great.
I love them all. Looking at the rectangular aprons I find in stores, I forgot how cute they use to be. I would love to have any of those aprons in my kitchen. You did such a good job on all of them.
I made a mostly pointless decorative apron from a pair of blue jeans I'd walked the thighs out of once. Used the butt of the jeans with the back pockets as the front, and sewed a sweet little contrasting frill at the bottom. Tie strap made from a strip cut from a leg. It was great🙂
What a fun video! Loviong all of these aprons but the strapless one with the lavender hearts was my favorite, you look GORGEOUS and GLAM in it!! You saucy minx!
i love these! i have a collection of 40-50’s ones my grandpa had made by a seamstress for my mother’s trousseau in 1948. yours came out so beautiful, such talent!
So much fun! When I took sewing class in home economics in the 70's, the first thing we made was an apron. It was required to be gingham and we made it based on measurements only, using the gingham check as cutting guide. The pocket on it went the full width of the apron and was fairly deep as well. Once it was attached we were to sew 2 or 3 seams to divide the pocket into 3 or 4 smaller pockets. The ties and waistband were also cut using the gingham pattern as a guide to cut straight. It was fun to do and a very useful apron.
You do it all so well it is AMAZING to witness. You know all of it, be it historical knowledge down to actually making it from bare material. The research, the actual making, the video edit ??? You are absolutely incredible
I loved this. You did an awesome job putting your apron collection together. Now I want to go through my boxes and find my mother and daughter matching aprons from the 1950’s. As I remember, my Mom’s was a full apron with the bib part, but my little one was just to the waist. Can’t wait to get them out now. Ahh, memory lane.
I absolutely love vintage aprons, despite never cooking or baking. I just like the apron part, haha! Loved seeing all of the different shapes each decade had. ❤️
I love the idea of aprons and think they're so cute. I made two when I was learning how to sew, but still haven't used them 😅. Also, the chaotic energy is relatable.
I had no idea there were so many different styles and designs of aprons...but it's pretty cool. And you made them all really well! Kind of tempted to save up for a sewing machine and make some clothes!
These were so delightful!!! I have a huge vintage apron collection from my mom, aunts, and grandmother. But of course I wear the one I got from Target because I don't want to wreck my "good" aprons! 😆

Yes! I did this with my grandma too! Loved it!
Omg! My grandma did the same!

As someone who thinks 5 days before cutting the fabric, I really like your "I don't care" attitude 😊
Just do it
Same here! Sooooo satisfying!

I do better with a long strap tied my back into the waist rather than round the neck. Hate that pulling my head off feeling.
Ha, I'm the opposite. I whip my apron on and off all day and shoulder straps make that process so much more arduous.
look at japanese aprons!
Ikr? The modern designs are kind of eh.
I have an apron where the neck strap is part of the waist strap, which makes it adjustable. It's much more comfortable than a regular apron

What is "cooking water" and how is it different from tap water? Like I'm picturing cooking wine being basically a cheap wine. Lol.
@@elizabethkenobi1365 I think they mean boiling/hot water!

To see if a piece of fabric bleeds, soak a small piece in water, remove it, then scrub it with a paper towel. If the towel stays clean, the fabric should be safe to use.
Yes, I do this whenever I am about to sew pieces of different colored fabric, especially if one of them is white.

This was especially fun for me because I've been making an apron for a house-warming hamper! Now I really want that strapless one for myself... so cute!
you think so intuitively and i cannot even begin to imagine how you translate patterns in your head to the fabric
I really like listening to your videos while drawing and it makes me want to draw historical clothing or just some vintage pretty ladies each time.
I actually made a few aprons myself last year. In fact I still have the fabric that I bought for at least two more. I could definitely do one heart apron. I have a nice sort of wine red linen that I think would look great.
Ok. I’ve moved. Still have my fabric. I’m gonna do it. I’m making that apron. Today.
I love them all. Looking at the rectangular aprons I find in stores, I forgot how cute they use to be. I would love to have any of those aprons in my kitchen. You did such a good job on all of them.
I made a mostly pointless decorative apron from a pair of blue jeans I'd walked the thighs out of once. Used the butt of the jeans with the back pockets as the front, and sewed a sweet little contrasting frill at the bottom. Tie strap made from a strip cut from a leg. It was great🙂
I love making aprons! They are a cheap and easy project and a great way to practice stitches.
What a fun video! Loviong all of these aprons but the strapless one with the lavender hearts was my favorite, you look GORGEOUS and GLAM in it!! You saucy minx!
i love these! i have a collection of 40-50’s ones my grandpa had made by a seamstress for my mother’s trousseau in 1948. yours came out so beautiful, such talent!
those are all so cuuuute and i love the creative liberties you take with each one!
She got em apple pocket aprons, boots with the furrrrr
Oh my gosh karolina entered her chaotic sewing tutorial era 😭❤️ I need her and micarah tewers being chaotic together
The heart shaped one is so cute
I've never seen those scalloped aprons from the 1950s before but they're adorable! The 1930s heart one is my favorite of the ones you made 💞
So much fun! When I took sewing class in home economics in the 70's, the first thing we made was an apron. It was required to be gingham and we made it based on measurements only, using the gingham check as cutting guide. The pocket on it went the full width of the apron and was fairly deep as well. Once it was attached we were to sew 2 or 3 seams to divide the pocket into 3 or 4 smaller pockets. The ties and waistband were also cut using the gingham pattern as a guide to cut straight. It was fun to do and a very useful apron.
An apron for every occasion! 🥂
You do it all so well it is AMAZING to witness. You know all of it, be it historical knowledge down to actually making it from bare material. The research, the actual making, the video edit ??? You are absolutely incredible
Great video! 1940’s one was my favorite!!
Absolutely adorable!
Thank you for sharing your aprons through the decades!
With your hairstyle and the apple themed 1930s apron you look just like Disney's Snow White.
that was a cute way to see different vintage aprons! I hope they all get used
Not gonna lie, the 1950's strapless is the winner for me. Gorgeous 😮
Okay the heart shaped apron is so adorable and cute I love it 🥰
I loved this. You did an awesome job putting your apron collection together. Now I want to go through my boxes and find my mother and daughter matching aprons from the 1950’s. As I remember, my Mom’s was a full apron with the bib part, but my little one was just to the waist. Can’t wait to get them out now. Ahh, memory lane.
This was so so fun. I thought the heart shaped one couldn't be topped but the cocktail party one was AMAZE
I absolutely love vintage aprons, despite never cooking or baking. I just like the apron part, haha! Loved seeing all of the different shapes each decade had. ❤️
I love the idea of aprons and think they're so cute. I made two when I was learning how to sew, but still haven't used them 😅. Also, the chaotic energy is relatable.
Watch out Karolina is coming for you with her rolling pin, loved that shot by the way.
LMAO that ad break scared me i wasn't expecting it 😂 i thought i was glitching or sth 💀
such cute aprons!! i love your apron journey
I had no idea there were so many different styles and designs of aprons...but it's pretty cool. And you made them all really well! Kind of tempted to save up for a sewing machine and make some clothes!
These aprons are to DIE FOR. ❤
Amazing!! I gasped at the 50's strapless!! You are so talented.
These were so delightful!!! I have a huge vintage apron collection from my mom, aunts, and grandmother. But of course I wear the one I got from Target because I don't want to wreck my "good" aprons! 😆
I think the last one is my fave but you rock all of them.
