Today I’m leaving my sewing project up to chance. I have a fantastic vintage sewing book called “Pennywise Boutique” by Barbara L. Farlie. It was published in 1973 and has a load of fun, quick projects with that 70’s flair.
I can’t decide what to make for myself, so I’m letting a random selector tool pick a project. Fortunately the wheel chose well and I landed on a frilly and feminine “Lacy Pinafore Apron.” I’ll need to take a field trip to the Garment District in NYC for some supplies before I get to work.

Here are the chapters if you want to follow along:
