Hello, Sara here.
Bib Apron is the second tutorial of apron series.
This is probably the most popular type of apron.
It’s versatile and I will show 3 different options for the neckband.
Now, things are slowly getting back to normal. Shops and restaurants are reopening and some of us are going back to work. I wish things get better soon, but we and the world will need time to recover and get back on track. I will rather be positive than be negative. Also, I rather do what I can than be worried and stressed. So here I come again with another beginner-friendly sewing tutorial. If you like sewing, just like the name of my blog and YouTube channel, I truly hope that sewing becomes therapy for you. Alright, enough of chit-chat. Let’s get going.
If you want to check out the first one ‘half apron’, here is the link.
