Why You should wear Aprons ☞ Aesthetic & Practical Reasons + Quick, Easy (& Lazy) Sewing Tutorial

So... Why do most European Folk Costumes feature an Apron? Allow me to list all sorts of aesthetic and practical reasons behind this popular piece of clothing. And just in case you have a need to fulfill your cottagecore dreams, or make hasty progress with your everyday chores, I included a tutorial of the quickest and simplest way I know how to make an apron!

Yes, I took plenty of shortcuts on the tutorial: a great many things could have been measured, pinned or basted, but this simple apron is only supposed to be a casual 30 min project you can fix up in an afternoon ❧

❤ If you were wondering... I'm happily wearing my new apron now ❤

Here's a list of all the folk verses sung in this video:

"Szakácsasszony, ejnye, ejnye-bejnye,
De szennyes a kötője eleje!
Mossa ki a kötője elejét,
Úgy várja a megtisztelt vendégit!"
Folk song from Szatmár area

"Kertünk alatt faragnak az ácsok,
Idehallik a kopácsolásuk,
Eredj, lyányom, kérdezd meg az ácsot,
Ád-e csókért egy kötény forgácsot?

Édesanyám, huncutok az ácsok!
Drágán mérik a kötény forgácsot!
Kilenc csókot adtam neki érte,
A tizediket ráadásul kérte!"
Folk Song from Tenke, as sung by my Grandfather

Songs often appear in other – nearby or sometimes faraway – villages and areas too, with some differences in lyrics or tune.
