Rajiv Surendra | Basic Hand-Sewing Skills And How To Make An Apron With Rajiv Surendra @rajivsurendra | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Rajiv loves to wear an apron, for cooking and for working on projects; it's a vital garment in his life. Although aprons are commercially available, a custom-made apron is comfortable to wear and not difficult to make yourself. Rajiv has been making aprons for himself for years, and today he shares his technique that doesn't require a sewing machine but just a needle, some thread and hand-sewing skills. If you've never made a piece of clothing before, this is a great project to try out the very basic, elementary skills of cutting and sewing cloth.
