I'm dating myself, but way back in the early 70's, when they still taught Home Economics in school, one of the first things I learned to make in middle school was a simple apron, made without a pattern. This brought me right back! I took to sewing like a duck to water. I made a lot of my daughter's clothes when she was little and when she was about 8 years old, I started teaching her to sew. Her first project? You guessed it, an apron!

We also had home economics in the early 2thousand. I was was struggling to the point my teacher suggested to my parents I switch to the law class 😂😂😂 where I did very well. I struggle to date in the kitchen. But baking I'm good 😂

I don't sew, but your creations reminds me of my mom and grandma sewing everything back in the 60's and 70's. Then sewing for my girls in the 80's. Such happy nostalgia!! I love your work and I think you are just the cutest ❤️

Awww thank you so much! So glad to have you. WELCOME! I’m so glad my voice can bring you sewrenity🧵💕

Sometimes when I look at the picture on the patterns I don't see how cool they could be. Seeing yours all made, it looks AMAZING! Nice job! And thanks for sharing!

I used to feel the same way! I do think the vintage illustrations look way better than the modern ones. The modern photos look very flat

You are so easy to listen to and I love all your projects. ❤

OMG that Santa couldn’t be cuter!!! Love the coral color! It reminds me of My Moms 1960 kitchen with the pink stove, oven, and refrigerator. The apron turned out darling and looks perfect on you. And matches your kitchen to a tee. Thanks for the ironing tip on the bias tape. That’s the wonderful thing about sharing your knowledge. Us old timers get to continue to learn!!!!

Thank you so much! You are so welcome I swear ironing the bias tape can be the difference between loving bias and hating it.

I love making and wearing aprons 🥰 back in the 60's and 70's the "housewife" (😂) always wore her aprons for cooking and cleaning 😂 I have old patterns and still have some of my old aprons 🥰 I love your apron and the Santa is so adorable 😍

Love the “ Santa Cam” whilst your other sewing was being shown. Well done!

So cute! Thank you for the bias pressing tip! Also, it's nice to see that I'm not alone in covering my mistakes ❤️

Pink has never been a color to ruffle my feathers, but that apron got me shaking like a peacock doing the 1-2 step! 🫨 That freaking beard is *chef’s kiss* 😍

Eek! So stinkin Cute!! What an absolutely perfect holiday apron!

That is the most adorable Santa on the cutest apron.

This is super cute! And what a fortuitous bit of bad sewing, because the holly brooch is the perfect accessory for the apron.

So cool! It's really great to see the original kits being used.

The Santa-Cam! Brilliant.. I love how adorable, creative and funny you are. ❤ Happy Holidays! ❤

There’s a lovely lady on ‘My sewing room’ who has a really simple method of applying binding around corners which is always neat. Truly, you won’t go wrong, it’s the method I use and I’ve tried a couple of different ways for my quilts.

What a cute apron! I love the Santa embroidery. That beard trick is too cute. 😮

That is the cutest apron set ever! I love the Santas, and love how the towels look over the oven handle.

Oh my goodness it’s so cute and Santa is awesome! His beard?!? So cool!

Cute apron! I love how you don’t sweat the small details. Funky mitered corner? The brooch was perfect!

That is the cutest apron ever! And it's so clever of you to embroider the towels to match!

This is so cute and I love the Santas on the pink!

That came out sooo cute! 🩷🎄 Thanks for the quilter shout out 😉 Good job.

What a super cute pattern! I really like the tiered skirt and your embroidered Santa would bring a smile to anyone's face. ❤

This is my favorite apron pattern, I have two aprons from this and after watching this I realize I need another.

The kitsch is delightful

My daughter (age 10), and I love your channel! She is learning how to sew with me and caught the vintage bug. We’ve been collecting vintage patterns and learning so much. Honestly, corners for me usually involve hand-cranking the machine. The apron is adorable, and we actually wear aprons here but our store-bought ones mostly don’t fit well. I need to grab a good vintage pattern!

I can not get over how cute these are.

Both the apron and the towels look amazing! I really appreciate how you explain everything, Serena and hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful holiday season!
