![]() ![]() The set is in the "Sew Along" playlist you can find the first one on YouTube here. Burnley & Trowbridge have a series of three excellent clear videos demonstrating how to make a basic 18th century style work apron. German Renaissance: (15th-16th centuries) Genoveva has a video tutorial she claims will teach you how to do a smocked apron, much like the medieval ones above, in one hour! Find it here.She includes Matilda's tutorial, but you may wish to try some of the others, which give more detailed instruction about doing the actual smocking.) Gina's Medieval Silkwork blog gives a list of smocked apron tutorials, with links, here. ( Note: If you have not done smocking before, you may wish to look for instruction on how to do smocking before you attempt this kind of apron. Medieval, part 2: The second type of apron is a smocked top apron tied around the waist you can find it in Matilda La Zouche's LiveJournal here.Edyth Miller of The Compleatly Dressed Anachronist provides instruction on a type of late medieval apron associated with midwives-it's a full body overgarment. Medieval: Here are several different types of medieval period apron.A diagram illustrating how archaeologists believe the Eura apron was made may be found here the original blog site (which was used by a Finnish college student to house her thesis) is no longer live. Making and sewing on the coils would likely take the making of such an apron outside the range of a one-afternoon project, but finishing the apron by fringing the bottom and hemming the other edges is another possibility and would be fairly quick to do. The apron appears to have been simply made of a length of cloth, belted to the body with a piece of tablet weaving, but it was clearly an ornamental garment because the bottom edges was decorated with designs crafted from small bronze coils. Eura (Finland): Based upon an archaeological find near Eura in Finland that has been dated to about 1100 CE.Note: Making such a garment might take longer than a single afternoon if you stitch it entirely by hand. We don't know if the Vikings used the apron dress as we would an apron (to protect other clothing) but we do know that some aprons (notably lace aprons-17th-18th centuries) were worn for style purposes, so I am adding an apron-dress pattern to this list. The tutorial featured here is from the Handcrafted History blog and is a fairly typical fitted tube kind of pattern (though not necessarily what was used at Hedeby). Viking Apron Dress: Viking apron dress designs are still conjectural, but two types have a substantial amount of evidence and support the pleated-in-the-front tube (Kostrup) and the fitted tube (Hedeby). ![]()
