Please remember to "Subscribe" to this topic so you don't miss any important information.
This swap is for mini-aprons made with Western-theme 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. Future themes throughout the year will be Patriotic, Halloween, Christmas, and "Party" styles. Plan ahead, find fabrics in your stash, and 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!
Sign-ups start now: March 7
Sign-ups end: Noon, Wednesday, March 22
Important! Mail out to Linda by: Friday, April 14
NOTE: I would like your aprons, postage and return envelope BEFORE April 24 so I can sort them, mail them back out, and you can get them before the end of the month. NOTEL If you are also doing Patriotic mini-aprons, definitely plan ahead - the dates will be so we can have them back before Independence Day!
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, plus include $1.00 cash to cover the cost of mailing your mini aprons back to you. The extra dollar will cover cost of extra weight that different trims might add. NOTE: Depending on how embellished your aprons are compared to the others, postage could be quite a bit momre.
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!

No, Linda. Just once will do. Remember when I told you about the flood control notice...well, after a bit I added my name for the swap. Then I looked and I guess they allowed the first post to go through. Sorry.

I have been gathering supplies for the western ones, but not sewing yet. I am trying to clean house.

LOL! That was one of my possibilities. I'd love to make ME one like that, but I really don't think it would do my hips any good - just accentuate what is already there. LOL!
