Apron Loves

I have been on such an apron kick lately. I adore frilly aprons, especially full or bib ones. I like retro fabrics; also pink/brown and aqua/brown combinations; vintage pinup girls; and anything with cherries or Mary Engelbreit fabric. Oh, I need long ties or a size 1X to fit around my apple-shaped torso!

Comment: Awesome, Shawnee! I love the fabric. I'm guessing that it used to be a dress since you didn't mention it. I have made half aprons from skirts but never a full from a dress. You did a great job. Thanks
Response: Oh, I guess I forgot to say. That used to be a cute summer dress. I really like how it turned out; hope the straps in the back aren't too weird. I have other aprons that tie similarly, and I like them.

Response: I hope you liked the apron. I just LOVE the vintage pinup girls. It was a tough apron to send away. I had lots of fun finding silly things to tuck in.

Comment: Such a fun and HUGE package! It just kept going on forever...thank you so very, very much! My husband got such a kick out of the nutcracker!
Response: I am so sorry I forgot your card! I wanted to explain why I chose all the goodies. That retro nutcracker was the first thing I found, and I just built. Aprons have been my "thing" lately, so had to tuck one in, and then the silly BBQ condiments set just topped the cake. ENJOY!

Comment: I wish I could give you three hearts! *Does a happy dance* My apron is SO FABULOUS! Pink and polka-dots and roses! I love the great big pockets, and the ruffles at the shoulders. Thanks so much for leaving the criss-cross ties unsewn so I can fit it to myself. SO GREAT! All the extras are wonderful too. It's funny because the apron package I sent to my partner was flamingo-themed too! The bag is fantastic, I will use it tons. And the picnic stuff is so cute! Thank you thank you thank you!

Comment: OHMYGOSH, Shawnee - you went way over and above with my swap package! It arrived just a little while ago, and I was so surprised at how much you sent! First of all, I love the stuffed cupcake. It truly is the cutest one I have ever seen. Love the fluffy topping. :) But not only that, you packaged it in a cupcake gift bag, along with the pattern and also sent chocolate, stickers, a fall cupcake party pack, a silicone muffin pan and a really cute card and note! I wish I could give you more than one heart for this great package, but unfortunately, I can't. All I can say, besides "WOW!" is Thank you very, very much! I am truly blown away!
