How to Sew a 20-Minute Adjustable Apron with Mx Domestic 

I'm glad you had your little girls voice in the video. The sounds of little ones giggling with pure joy makes my heart happy. And when you were both giggling after she told you to be more fashionable was so fun. Tell her she's right about that! That was just what I needed today to make me smile. I'm a widow in the process of becoming an empty nester (after raising 6 kids) and there are just some cloudy days. I love the noise of a house with little ones. And by the way I also I liked your apron and I recognized your fish fabric. Fun times at the beach in the summer. Take time to spend some lazy days with the family this summer and have lots of fun and giggles.

Very fashionable. Best part of this....You and Helena laughing together! Love it! Thanks.

Wait! Was that a CORDLESS IRON! I am in LOVE! I knew this day would come! Super-tastic!!

Love your aprons. But what I love best is the sweet and kind way you treat the little girl.

Nice apron, super easy, lovely to see Helena learning from her Dad.

Please don’t stop making videos. My sewing Journey has been SOLELY led by you. I’m so much better than I was because of you. Thanks a bunch bud ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the great Fathers Day gift idea for my brother! He is the family grilled and this is a great little gift!

Oh thank you- this is a perfect apron- it’s fast easy AND adjustable! Thank you Sooo much! Helena’s sweet little laugh made my day!

OMG your apron is amazing love the adjustable straps so clever thank you so much for sharing your sewing skills and how to make a apron 👍🏽👍🏽😍😍

Not only a great tutorial, but a great instructor with an infectious laugh, haha! Love it, thanks! :)

Loved this,loved hearing ur little girl laughing/interacting with u

I love that you sew with your daughter. I love sewing with my grand daughters as well. My oldest will be 8 this year and I’m thinking she needs a machine of her own.

I made a few of these back in 2019 - just winging it. I like the way you broke this down. My straps will be twice as long because I like to wrap them back around and tie in the front. Thanks for this tutorial!

Omg, hands down best video ever⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Great idea with the adjustable neck strap and simple apron techniques🧡But the cherry 🍒 on the top was you and your daughters creative and humorous additions to this video!!!! I love how kind, helpful, loving and family oriented you are as a human being in general🌹🌻🌼🍀 GREAT JOB❤️🧡💛💚💙💜I LOVED IT!

Love hearing your little girl. Sounds Like you have a great relationship. Love the apron.

Not only was this helpful, it lifted my mood! You’re awesome 💛

For those asking about the length of the tie-strap, I made 2 of these for my husband and son-in-law as Father's Day gifts. They range between 5'8" and 5'11" and both wear a size L in clothing. The tie-strap ended up needing to be around 104". I shortened the main panel of the apron to 34.5" (finished) because I didn't want it hanging down to their knees. The total project took me 6-8 hours for EACH apron (I'm no expert sewer, but I'm also far from a beginner...). Granted, I made mine double layer (single layer was going to be way too flimsy with the regular quilting cotton I bought) and did the same with the pocket (I also added a second large pocket plus another small one specifically for a cell phone). But still. This project took sooo much longer than I would have ever anticipated (making the extra pockets was fast, and doubling-up on the fabric really only adds about an hour, total, for all pieces). Each tie-strap took more than an hour alone (cutting, ironing, sewing together strips, then folding and ironing again...ugh). So, just FYI for anyone who is really counting on a very quick project...I don't see how this project could take 20 minutes unless we're only counting literal sewing time for a single-layer, single pocket, project (with the tie-strap already completely assembled and sewn). They did come out looking really nice, though when being worn, the top of the apron bunches kind of weird (I used exact measurements for everything but the length). Maybe that's true for most aprons? idk. The video was so helpful, and I'd definitely make this apron again...but now I'll know to expect it to take several hours.

WONDERTAPE! Thank you for introducing me to that trick. I'm making aprons for the entire fam for Christmas so this tutorial has been MOST helpful.

You and your daughter are just delightful. Thank you for the tutorial! Making this as a gift for my baking obsessed sister's 16th birthday.

Thank you! I'm kind of new to sewing, but I was able to follow your directions and I did it! Love that it's adjustable and it has nice big pockets too.

I sure wish I had a daddy like you, Mister Domestic. I will live vicariously through your daughter's laughter. On a side note, you can be sure I'll be making this apron in the very near future!

First time watching him. Literally skipped to see the result and saw him laughing at himself. Subscribed right away.

I just found your channel and I have to tell you, I am so impressed! I have been sewing for a long time and I have learned so much more from you than I have in a lifetime of other RU-vid videos. I love the tape trick. I have always had a problem making my seams straight. Keep up the good work.

First time watching any of your videos and omg . Thank you . You explain things in a way that’s so easy to understand! And WONDER TAPE ! Wow game changer definitely using that instead of pins !!

💚 Love Helena 's review!

I have seen that apron before. But, I have never seen such a great tutorial on how to make it. Thanks for making it. I have not attempted it, in the past. Thought it was too much work. But, it is very easy.

Helena is too cute! Had me cracking up. Love this apron. Will be making some of these for Rose Likes Crochet for her Wings donations. Fast and easy. Thanks so much!

I absolutely love the baby girl.. But thank you so much for the tutorial!!!

Wonderful step by step tutorial. I’m so excited to make myself an apron! You are a great teacher.

I hope she develops into a wonderful seamstress as I know she loves what you do. I especially love the laughter !

I’m new to sewing. I’m making an apron for my dad and FIL! Hope they love it!

Love this, super fun to watch you. Is that your daughter? So cute.

Another great demonstration and really Helena is defiantly your daughter lol 😂

You're attitude is awesome! I do lounge around in my home made aprons so thanks for that comment at the end of your video! I'll try your apron tutorial for my next apron. Gotta keep it fashionable, right Helena?

I loved this tutorial. You made me smile so much! Thank you for all you do!!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! SEWING TUTORIALS ARE ALWAYS FUN TO WATCH

I really should’ve followed your advice and used wondertape, I was stubborn and just used pins and ended up taking waaayyy longer than expected; but it still ended up looking good. Your tutorial was very helpful and you and your daughter are sooo cute!

Thank you from Morrocan Kingdom.

This is such an Awesome video. I adore your energy. Please let us know the width of the wonder tape you are using. And what alternatives are there for wonder taps? Can I use regular facing strips and get the same results? Thank you so much for this video :)

Looking good

Utterly Utterly brilliant x

I love this! You provide the best instruction and your excitement is contagious however, I need math assistance.(I'm sure if you're following this a year later) however... I want to make this for my daughter. She's short in stature and I want to adapt your pattern. I took her measurements and made initial cuts... I failed. (Her shoulder to knee measurement is 31inches and her shoulder width is 19inches.)

How wide are the strips? Great video and your pacing is fabulous! Thank yo for laughing and teaching as you go!

Super cute and easy, thanks!

That cracked me up lol ( u mad man). Thank you, I enjoyed this.

Just love the tutorial, it was fun and fab ,thanks

😂😂😂😂 Your laugh made me laugh too

Love it!

Très jolie bonne astuces 🙋👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 merci pour cette vidéo 🗼

Very simple apron, which is nice. I just bought a serger. I'd love to see some more videos on using it. I feel a bit intimidated. Anyway... Your daughter is adorable. :-)
