Hand Sewing a Linen Apron | One Day Project Timelapse

I hope you enjoy this timelapse of me sewing an 18th century blue checked linen apron entirely by hand! The whole process took about five hours and was an enjoyable way to practice my hand sewing skills.

Please head over to Burnley & Trowbrigde's channel for a detailed tutorial on making 18th century aprons and other garments. My checked linen is also from Burnley & Trowbridge: https://www.burnleyandtrowbridge.com/...
