I love easy sewing projects that give you immediate satisfaction! Though on a technical note, true ticking( as recommended ) is a fabric which has a twill weave, you can only pull a thread on a plain weave fabric. ( the basic over under ) I think this is an important note to make for those who will go ahead and buy ticking, and not be able to pull the thread! Twill weave is what you see on your jeans, the diagonal pattern is how you can tell. Just because a fabric has a stripe doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ‘ticking’ Finding the cross grain is easy with a 90 degree ruler if you can’t pull the thread I hope this helps anyone who will go ahead and try this project!
@jill552
Жыл бұрын
Interesting note but much modern ticking is actually striped duck in a regular weave. I’ve never tried it but assume you can still pull a thread on a twill since the warp and weft are still perpendicular. Whether or not this is necessary for an apron, Rajiv still taught a useful technique.

What a lovely and useful video! I learned to hand sew from my grandmother and my aunt more than a half century ago. Those skills have served me well for many years whether I am repairing a seam, taking up a hem, or making a skirt. As a former pastry chef, I have been given many aprons over the years, but this tutorial makes me want to make a hand-sewn one. Traveling to a vacation home years ago, I realized I had forgotten an apron - and I simply cannot cook without one! I bought a nice checked woven tea towel from a kitchen store, then purchased twill tape from a quilting store in town. I attached a length of the twill tape exactly as Rajiv shows to one of the short edges for the neck strap and 2 more pieces of twill tape at where my waist is to form the ties. To make the top portion of the apron a bit narrower across my chest, making it fit nicely over my bosom, I made 2 half-inch pleats on either side of the top. They are like darts, but just stitched at the top and they are placed about 2 inches from the edges where the top strap is sewn. I have had that little apron for at least 20 years. It’s a pretty blue checked pattern that looks like it was made to match the tiny kitchen of my husband’s family cabin. I keep that apron with the things I bring to the cabin every Summer and tying it on the first day always make me feel at home in that kitchen. Great video with terrifically useful sewing instructions. I have a good sewing machine, but I often look for reasons to hand-sew. Usually it is to tailor a piece of clothing. As Rajiv says and so many agree, it is meditative and it is a joy to look at your own handwork for years to come. Mary K.

Actually he should have made it 32"-33" long since he measured himself with his torso tilted/bent and to allow for evening out the store cut edge. Hint, don't measure yourself, and expect to get accurate measurements. Why is he using scissors too small/delicate and dull to cut that heavy clothe? I said dull because I've been sewing for over 40 years (and teach it) - I can hear that they are dull. It's just so much faster to just use a ruler to mark the horizontal cut line than trying to pick out/find a single thread.

Thanks for your comment, Tiwan! I find it very interesting that you have been teaching sewing for over 40 years and you miss the whole point of why it's important to find the grain of the cloth, which I took the time to explain in this video - and why doing something 'fast' like using a ruler is pointless if it's going to prohibit the garment from draping properly.

I understand the reason for pulling a thread BUT I don’t feel it is necessary for a beginner making a simple apron to be so fastidious. Yes, you want to be basically on the grain, but if it is slightly off, it is no disaster. This kind of reminds me of my mom, who sewed for decades, scoffing at the way they taught us to sew in home ec. She would watch what I was doing and say they overcomplicated things, and I think she’s right. I went much further with my own sewing when I just dove in and loosened up and experimented a little. I like you, Rajiv, and I know your schtick is excellent craftsmanship, etc, but I picture people being overwhelmed by worry about grain when a simple eyeball would do the trick here.

@rajivsurendra Afternoon young brother. Yes, I've been sewing over 40 years (and a professional designer and Apparel Tech). I can find the grain/cut it evenly with my eyes closed, especially when time is of the essence in production. Often, there's no time for that particular step... There are others less time-consuming, and pulling a thread isn't always possible on many other types of fabrics - as you know. I get that you were passing on one of many techniques to find and cut evenly along the grain. My comments were my comments... I'll keep them to myself.

There are lots of quicker ways to find/cut precisely on/with the grain (even when there is no "grain").

Beautiful work! I’m sure watching you do it is more peaceful than trying to hand-sew it myself, though. 😄 I do cross stitch and needlepoint, and it is actually meditative quiet time. I can’t do the tiny stitches I did when I was younger because my eyesight is not so great anymore. Floral designs are my favorite. I did once machine sew an apron out of upholstery fabric, just winging it basically, no pattern, but your method is much nicer, and I may give it a try with ticking. I love ticking and all fabric with woven designs. You have to be careful these days to get WOVEN in designs if you have to order online because nowadays the stripes or checks may be PRINTED on the fabric. Very disappointing.

Wonderful... I have some small blue check linen material in my stash. Thank you HANDSOME for your clear instructions. You inspire me each time I watch one of your videos. I wash dishes as you do. I clean my sink every night and when I wash my whites I use the blue, wow what a game changer to launder whites that way. I own a 1920's home and I have learnt so much from you re decor and house cleaning for which I am so grateful. G'day from Australia. 🦘🐾

Rajiv, I have enjoyed your videos for a few months now. They are always a pleasure to watch. You had commented in this video that you purchased the trim for your apron at East Coast Trimming, so being in Manhattan for work this week, and having this afternoon off to explore, I braved the cold and visited East Coast Trimmings. What a jewel box of a shop! Thank you for sharing your resources when you can. I was able to purchase some lovely ribbon to finish up a few projects, and some special ribbon for my daughter as well. Thank you for sharing all of the lovely ways you live your life with the rest of us.

Hi Handsome! You did a fabulous job of explaining and demonstrating this project! I would like to suggest a topic for a future video. I have admired your beautiful bracelets and would love to see how they are made. I'm guessing they are Sri Lankan. You make everything so interesting. Keep up the good work!.
