You can add pockets.. or not.. Be sure to try to add your name somewhere on each Mini..
(Front or back.. so everyone one knows who each one is from..)

Our Apron Strings are what ties us to each other After All..

I'll join this time. I'm not crazy about the Birthday theme but I can't go until Oct to do one! I'll miss out on too much fun!
I even have one little simple idea. I think it will work.
I miss making them!

Ok Monica.. Your In Girlie!
Your Girls please feel Free to ask questions if you need to!
But if you've never seen a Mini.. You can look back on some of the OLDER Mini Apron Swaps..
& see some photo's. Or even Bonne & Grace (Katmom's) Blogs.. those two are great about posting their pictures once their Mini's all make it back home!

Hi Kathie,
I'm new here and saw this thread. It sounds like a lot of fun! I recently dusted off my sewing machine and I am having a blast sewing aprons. I looked at some of the Mini Apron's you all have done in the past and they are sooo cute! May I be a part of the swap?
Thanks,
Brenda
