How to Make a Cross Back Patchwork Apron With Pockets - No Pattern Needed 

This is gorgeous. Thank you for showing us. Love the straps too. ❤

I LOVE the finished product!!! Gotta go to Goodwill to buy some old jeans!!!!! Thanx again for your great tutorial!!!!

Love the video. You were talking about Goodwill. I found a brand new bolt of awesome denim. I'm talking the whole bolt for $4.99! My son immediately asked for a Men's Apron as he is Semi- Truck driver and owns 2 Semi trucks. He does allot of work when they break down, but mainly, when he checks the truck, sweeping, carpentry etc. I have seen some aprons they sell, but don't know how to do the neck band and tie around. I absolutely LOVE the Denim pockets. I do want to make an apron for the Men in my life (children, their spouses, grands, even great grands.) That tells you I am a 71 year old widow woman- 2 Cats. My mother was a seamstress and made everything. I loved it and she had me helping made my brother's shirts. ( Did great on the first arm although it was so hard on the next arm. When she had my brother try it on, I had seen the sleeve around the neck.) I have so much material and since this is my last go around, I love your style of free sewing. My family would love it. Excited about the aprons and any advice or expertise on the neck and waist strap for the Man's Apron would be deeply appreciated. Been in this about 14 months. You are an excellent teacher/ RU-vidr. PS I subscribed to you. 🥰😻

Super cute!

Lovely apron

Absolute adorable.

Gonna make one next weekend! Thanx for the great video!!!

I like your pattern. Thank you for sharing your video and tutorial.

I'm in love with this apron instead of all six inch blocks I made three 12 inch blocks and added them as well. It turned out great one of my favorite projects I've done thank you so much!!

Love this and I’m glad to see someone sew over pins! I have done this for over 60 years!!!!!

Hermoso delantal (apron) y hasta logro entender su inglés. Muchas gracias desde Chile 🇨🇱

You are very creative ❤️

Lisa, this is not only cute , it is so useful. Such a clever pattern, storage for lots of things. Love your channel, thanks for sharing.

Very pretty Lisa. Everyone needs one of these. Thank you so much.

I don't wear aprons, but yes great Christmas gifts.

Thank you so much Lisa, I really really enjoyed watching you creating this amazing and gorgeous apron. It’s so cute and adorable too.adding all those pockets is also a great idea. And I’m definitely going to try this out. It’s the best apron I’ve ever seen. I’m going to share this with my family and friends too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Can’t believe I have never seen this video. I love the apron but really enjoy your free motion quilting. It looks awesome. Makes me think of trying it. Thanks

Great pattern & love cross over back. Best version I’ve seen. So clear.

This is so cute and what a way to use up a lot of those scraps or even a lot of those fat quarters that really don't belong anywhere. I love watching your tutorials you have quite a way of showing us how to do things.

Absolutly love this ! I didnt find it until after Christmas ! Makes wonderful b-day present for our new young cook in the family ! Samantha is just turning 13 and taking after my daughter Niki ( which is her aunt ) ! They both love to cook and bake ( Niki is a chef ) ! Sammy has some medical problems and this keeps her happy ! She will be so proud of this , again Thank you !

You have hit the tutorial out of the park once again. Like the apron its cute and functional. Congrats

Lovely Lisa what a gorgeous project I am going to make four of these for my textile friends. You always brighten my day with your wonderful ideas, your talent and your generosity in sharing with us all. Sending you all my love as always xxxxxx Dorothy U.K. 🙋🏻❤️😘🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oh LIsa ! ! Tons of thumbs up on this one, soooo cute ! ! Great idea for Christmas, thanks for sharing !

I love this apron, it's the cutest! Thank you. Happy sewing❣

Amazing tutorial! So well explained. I'm going to be making a kids apron for my son out of his old bibs and this helped so much!! My first ever sewing project. The jean pockets look so good. Thanks so much 😍

Thank you!

Wonderful idea. You can also adapt it for a garden apron. As I can't reach around to tie in back, I always tie the apron in front. You are soooo clever!!!!! Thank you.

Thank you

Thank you so much this looks so easy am going to try this for sure thank you so much Lisa you always do a great job love your videos God bless you

Thank you Lisa, I like the style of this apron very much. Especially the straps, I have the same issues with my neck and this style will be very helpful. Yours came out so nice. Thank you for sharing. Take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC

So much fun! Happy you found the right apron for you and all through your creative genius. Love your aprons!

Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s wonderful may you be blessed!

Love ❤️ love this apron gonna make it I like the straps over the shoulder too.

Love this because it is cute, and I also cannot have anything pulling on my neck!

I really like this style of apron. Could put on pockets for kitchen use and make another for sewing use. Love it and appreciate this tutorial ❤️❤️!

I'm brand new to sewing and I needed an apron project to start on and this is perfect! It's way fancier than I was hoping to make, but I love this idea and it will give me a lot of practice cutting with my rotary mat and sewing with my new to me but older machine! Thank you for this and yes I am subscribing for more awesome videos.

Will put it very simply, love that apron

love these aprons...now you know i have to make them and yes i will be making these for everyone...thank you!!

Really liked your apron. Didn’t think of quilting it, but good idea.

These are so precious! Love your idea on the aprons.

Love this tutorial, the Apron is awesome 👍😊 I get so inspired by everything You 😘 Share! Thank You 😊 and have a great weekend as well! XX Marie-Wisconsin

The apron is so cute. I can’t wait to try making some for me and the other ladies in my family! Thanks for the great video, .

Thank you Lisa I love your technique ,you always make everything look so professionally finished and that is where I need help.

Awesome apron Lisa ...love the pockets 😍😘💐

I love your apron! Great combination project for sewing & quilting. I'm fairly new to quilting. Long time apron maker. One request... don't show stitching over pins. It can dull the needle point or break pin/needle causing a danger of flying bits of metal. New Sewists might not know this. Pull pins right before stitching.

Love your pattern. Making one today. Thank you for this wonderful apron pattern.

That can reverse as well. Use contrasting threads. Just connect all three fabrics, then turn to right side and quilt it. Then tack down all around outside. Nice idea. I would like to make it for a six year old. So, I'm thinking, just cut the squares down by two inches, and see how that would works.

Love this Lisa! Thank you! ❤

Love it!!! I noticed you sew over the pins! I thought that was a big NO NO! Btw, I love all of the pockets and loops

you are amazing Lisa. Thank you

Such a fun apron video to watch. Thanks for sharing!!

I Love, Love, Love this! I’ve wanted an easy apron pattern for ages. I will be making this very soon!!

Lisa - you did a fantastic video and I can't wait until tomorrow to try it out! I am a expert fabric hoarder so I have lots of scraps to use. Thanks again. Nonna Andi

OH MY!!! I love your apron! Thank you so much for the tutorial!! :)

very good like it

LOVE love love this!!!

I’ve made my own aprons before and I love this quilted one. I’ll be making that for sure.

Lisa, I just love this apron. You made it so easy for everyone to be able to make it. Thank you for the tutorial, this will be the next thing I make cause I want to learn to free motion quilt, and if it doesn't look good it would be for me. At least I will try. Thank you again for all these awesome videos.

Love it new sewing room!

Fascinating, really nice. On my try list. Thanks

Yes! Great Christmas gifts! Thank you!

Those are so cute! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for the tutorial. The apron awesome.

So cute!

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely perfect for my apron project! I really like the idea of using up my huge/gennormus fabric stash-no kidding, I could open a shop! I really wanted something for gifts for my family and this is perfect, also to add to my own apron collection. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this, PS I like your Etsy shop, too ♥️

This is so cute! Thank you- I can't wait to make one!

Love this Lisa. I have a lot of charm squares so I can just add more squares. Thank you for this tutorial.

Great video. I love your aprons!

Thank you, Lisa, love this, especially your pockets, sew clever.

Love it!

I love this!! I've been wanting an apron for when I paint. Not sure if this would work or not but I really love it.

I love this. I have been planning to make some aprons for some children at my church ranging in ages from 3 to approximately 8. I am going to see if I can adapt this to make one for each child. It will be challenging but fun.

Last month I bought an Apron pattern, but let me tell you it doesn't even come close to yours. I can't wait to get started on your Apron. I love the multi colors and all of the denim pockets, especially the thin straps. Thank you again for sharing...

Thank you! I've been looking for an apron or pattern for longarming. Most did not have pockets angled the way I needed and also pulled at the neck and around the waist. This is perfect. I plan on making two. One for longarming and one for painting/crafting. Thank you again!

Beautiful, thank you sweet woman.

Thank you for the inspiration. I’m a budding freemotion quilter that needs practice, but I was raised on waste not…want not. What a great way to learn the busy part and still have a nice gift (I’m getting tired of potholders). I like using warm and natural and have a bit of a stash. Doesn’t you bobbin area get loaded with lint if you’re sewing without a backing? Is this a problem?

So cute! Thank you♥️

Good ideas great tutorial

I love this!!!

I love it. Thank you

I want to make one how cute!!!

Cute idea!’ TFS

I need to make one for the garden. By the time I put a pair of clipers, a roll of string, two pair of scissor, gloves my neck is feeling back by noon. Thanks!

QUESTION!! If I am making an apron for a secret swap where I do not know the person receiving it, how long should I make my straps! Thanks!

Can you make this not using the squares?

I love the idea of piecing and quilting the apron. Yours turned out so nice and the X back is so much better than the neck kind! I would like to make it out of 5" squares, since I have so many leftovers. Do you have a suggestion as to # in each row? I can't tell if it would be better to add or just let it be more narrow. Thanks! btw, I just found you recently, looking for help on printing quilt labels on fabric. I followed your instructions and it was a success! So you've got a new fan!

Ditto with the neck issue

Beautiful. Thank you. What kind of machine do you have?

I love the apron!! Does it get "hot" while you wear it? Due to the batting.

So excited you did this for us. I will make a couple for gifts But mine first😁 I noticed you have an open toe foot. Did you have to order it separate?

What kind of iron do you use? Mine never steams that much.

If you hold your pins back 1/4” you’ll never run over your pins.

What are you sewing on....my jenomes don’t like going through denim pockets.

Hi Lisa I just Loved your apron tutorial. I went over to ask to join your Facebook group. It will show my husband's name Bill E Mcbrayer. My husband and I share a Facebook account. This is Teresa Mcbrayer. Thank you

You see over your pins????

I do not like any clothing with neck ties! Hurts my neck!
