A little peek

Here's a sneak peek before my stuff goes in the mail in the morning (first time swapper). I had such a good time making my apron but it was a serious challenge with a 15 month old underfoot most of the time. She decided that the foot pedal on my machine was great fun and nearly got my fingers once or twice. What a hard theme! I had such a difficult time figuring out tuck-ins. Hopefully my partner enjoys my items. I cannot wait to see what others have made.

I can't decide if my apron is more 50's or 80's. It definitely has some traits of both. Black and white polka-dots with bright lime green trim. I think I'll be making one of these for myself soon. I loved the color combo!


What is more 50's than pearls?? I love pearls, they can dress up anything. I dazzled up these little gems with modern twist of lovely ribbon.


Eco-friendly is the future, or so we keep hearing. A fun and neutral reusable shopping bag. I loved making this project because I got to break out the rotary cutter and no pattern!
