Please remember to "Subscribe" to this topic so you don't miss any important information.
This swap is for mini-aprons made in the Hostess/Party theme in design or fabrics. When making aprons for your fellow swappers, please remember to make something that you would like to receive. We love embellishments - buttons, trims, pockets, lace, ruffles, etc, but they are not always necessary depending on the design of the apron. Future themes for this year will be Fall and Christmas. Plan ahead, find fabrics in your stash, and join in when you can. You can always make some mini aprons ahead for these topics when you have spare time. NOTE: They do not all have to be the same - different is fun, too! Use up your scraps and be creative.
Please take a look at the cute aprons from a previous farmgirl mini-apron swap. Read the comments and you will see Grace's collection of mini-aprons here: http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?whichpage=0.84&TOPIC_ID=77791#915025
NOTE: There are patterns available for mini-apron ornaments - Simplicity 1957 and Simplicity 2748. There are also free crochet and other mini apron patterns on Pinterest. You can use these or design your own half-aprons or full bib-style aprons. Farmgirls LOVE embellishments!
For all you crocheters, out there, here is a cute adaptable apron some of you may like.

Sign-ups start now: May 31
Sign-ups end: Noon, Friday, June 16
Mail out to Linda by: Friday, July 7
Here are the criteria:
1. You will make a mini apron - either half-apron or full bib-style apron - for each farmgirl who signs up (# depends on signups). Finished apron size is approx. 5" wide and 5-6" long depending on style (Note: my half aprons start at 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" and are gathered to a 5" waist) ... not including the ties... ties on each side should be about 6-8"(not incl.waistband) so the aprons can be tied onto an object for display. The bib aprons are about 6-1/2" to 7" long, not counting the neck strap. You might want to add a pocket and tuck a little note inside. You will be getting one of your mini-aprons back. Be sure to sign your mini-aprons.
2. You will send me your set of mini aprons.
3. You will also include a Self-addressed, stamped (with postage stamps) envelope with the same amount of postage as your envelope costs to mail. Include $1.00 cash to cover the cost of extra weight that different trims/aprons might add. NOTE: Depending on how embellished your aprons are compared to the others, postage could be quite a bit more.
4. I will divide up the mini aprons, and mail your mini aprons back to you.
I will list names of those who sign up and let you know the final total before the mailout date!
Let's have some fun with these! You can find many designs on Pinterest or the Internet with the Topic of Hostess Aprons.

Here are my hostess aprons. In the center is a pretty Christmas hostess apron that came in my package from Beth Jones (Christmas in July swap). She found it at an estate sale. I love them all. Thank you, everyone.

Have you tried putting meat tenderizer on them? It often stops the itch.

Just to let you all know - my knee scope surgery has been postponed from tomorrow to Monday, July 31. My surgeon does not take any chances for infection, and does not allow ANY open sores. I have 2 mosquito bites I scratched that are almost healed, but not enough. Please keep good thoughts and prayers coming. HUGS!

Will do, Dianna. My legs are already swollen because of the water I've been drinking and working outside. The steroids he gave me made me gain weight and I hate that. Now I have even more to lose.
