Chrissy, thanks for a wonderful package.

My package arrived and was filled with some really fun things. The apron is a ruffled black with white polka dot number. There is chartreuse bias tape around the edges. It's super cute. There was a pearl and ribbon necklace that I think is handmade for the 50s, blue and gray striped leg warmers for the 80s and it was all tucked into a tote bag that for the future.

It came from Chrissy. Thank you so much. I love it all. And you are a talented seamstress.

Oops!

Once again, I forgot to take a picture!!! Hopefully my partner will like everything and take a photo! I wrapped everything up and packed it away and never even thought about the camera.
The apron was fun and challenging! I hope my partner likes it.

your package is on the way

Everything is boxed up and waiting at the post office. Besides the fringy apron, there are vintage buttons from the 50's, ribbon barrettes for the 80's and reusable snack bags for the future. This was another great swap. Thanks Shawnee.

getting my packet ready

I just finished. I was inspired by Marty's western shirt in BTTF3. I decided to give it a slightly 50's twist with the ruffle and a bit of the 80's with the green and pink. Now all there is to do is get some tuck ins. That should be fun. Maybe a trip to the vintage button store down the street is in order.

My fabric choices

I am making a 50s style apron inspired by the prom dress in the movie. You know the peach one she wears in the 50s prom. I am actually using the same pattern as Karen so it will be fun when I put up my pics to see how similar/different the two aprons end up being. I have one little alteration I might try to do. We'll see!!!! Now for tuck-ins! Yikes!!!
