I'm cutting out the Mini Crossbody Bag 2 right now but saw this out of the corner of my eye and it will be my very next project! Yoan, thank you so much for sharing your tremendous talent with people like me who have to follow directions in order to make anything. I love your videos!

I didn’t go past 1 minute of this video ….I was SOOOO excited that I want to say THANK YOU, RIGHT AWAY !!! 😊😊
I want to make this for a while …I know your teaching videos are TOP Quality so I will be using your video to help me make this. I live in my aprons because I am usually cooking often and it saves my clothes from being soiled. This year I am learning to make simple clothes …and Apron is on the list . Once I gain more confidence, I hope I can move up to pants and Simple tops.
Now …I am going to finish watching your video. hehehe

I love this, Yoan, and I needed this soooo bad. It's so adorable. Thank you, Hun. 🌹

Hi Yoan, excellent tutorial! Would be awesome as a proper pinafore dress, not just an apron. Could you advice how to do that?

Hi Yoan, thank for this sharing, like the look of this apron in 2 colors. But don't you need a button or some velcro to secure the apron from opening ?
