Please remember to "Subscribe" to this topic so you don't miss any important information.
This swap is for mini-aprons made with Easter, polka dots or "looks" like dots, and small florals. When making aprons for your fellow swappers, please remember to make something that you would like to receive. Future themes throughout the year will be Patriotic, Western, Halloween, Christmas, and "Party" styles. If you want, you can plan ahead, find fabrics in your stash, and make some mini aprons ahead when you have spare time.
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 patterns on Pinterest. You can use these or design your own half-aprons or full bib-style aprons.
Sign-ups start now: February 14
Sign-ups end: Noon, Wednesday, March 1
Important! Mail out to Linda by: Friday, March 17
NOTE: I would like your aprons, postage and return envelope BEFORE March 24 so I can sort them and mail them back out and you can get them before Easter.
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 envelope with the same amount of postage as your envelope costs to mail, plus $1.00 to cover the cost of mailing your mini aprons back to you. The extra dollar will cover possible different trims that other aprons may have that would add weight.
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!
Let's have some fun with these!

I have four completed and five more ready for waist bands and ties. I also have more hemmed, ready to work on. This is fun.

I was off the grid yesterday - at Ed's. He's in one of those dead zones for Internet so doesn't have it - why pay for something that doesn't work. LOL!
I know what I'm doing for this next set of aprons, just haven't cut out to start yet. That's a tomorrow or later today project.
