Please remember to "Subscribe" to this topic so you don't miss any important information.
This swap is for mini-aprons made with an animal-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 throughout the year will be Halloween, Christmas, and "Party" styles. 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.
Here are three samples of Animal themed mini aprons:

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. You can also see examples of the aprons from these newest swaps in Mini Apron Swaps #1 and #2.
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. I'm going to give it a try and make me one. LOL!

Look down the page. I love the red and white version.

and this looks like a great book of small crocheted aprons, though they are not mini. The cover says they are towels:

Sign-ups start now: April 17
Sign-ups end: Noon, Friday, May 12
Important! Mail out to Linda NO LATER THAN: Friday, May 26
NOTE: Your aprons, postage and return envelope should arrive NO LATER THAN May 26.
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 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!
Let's have some fun with these!

I would like to join. I have a quilt retreat this weekend so I can get a start on them. These are so cute.
I have an idea, now if I can find the fabric that I'm thinking of in my stash....that could take most of the day to find!

Got you, Deborah M!
Did you get your Western aprons, Marilyn? You sometimes get them the day after I send them.

I have made a bunch of animal aprons. Yea! My life is about to get crazy with end of school things to do. So I wanted to get more than enough animal aprons made. I mailed a set of...something to you early this morning Linda. It seems like they were patriotic. If not let me know.

Yes, Marilyn, they were Patriotic. LOL! I got them and love them.
So far I have 12 animal print apron fronts made. Now to line them, add baubles, add waistbands, and tag with my name. LOL! I am going to make some more, just in case.
So far we are at 10 swappers, but this number could go higher when CJ's article commes out in the Sisterhood Issue. We'll have to see.
Got you added, Deborah H.

I fund the fabric I was looking for and did not have to tear the closet apart to get to it. So that was a bonus!! Now I just have to find the right embellishments.
