Description:

I'm getting a little tired of making fall and winter themed items for swaps, so how about a "sweet" themed apron swap? What you need to do is make an apron for one partner! What sweet means is up to you, the sender. Cupcake colors? Cake fabric? Lots of pink? Shabby Chic? Pretty trims? Ruffles? Candy inspired? Sprinkles? Polka dots? It's up to you. This is a swap for everyone who loves aprons or loves to bake, and wants a pretty apron to brighten up those soon to come winter days! Here's some details:

One apron for one partner

USA and Canada only, someone may feel free to start an International one.

A rating of 4.8 or better please, all others will be banned.

Newbies welcome (we were all there once)

No "1" or no-send ratings

I think that's about it... you may list the size you want in the comments but it's up to your partner whether they want to make a full or half apron. Message me if you have any questions please.

Let's have fun making a sweet and pretty apron for our partner!

Hey Finderofthings, if you get flaked on again, I will angel you. I love to make aprons & no one should go without something pretty. BTW I wear a large/extra large. You know the type, tall, over 45, & suffering from gravity issues (everything is settling in my rump).

I LOVE aprons :) I know which fun flirty pattern I am going to make just have to wait to decide on the fabric. For me I am rather busty & don't really wear full aprons cause they look kinda funny on me,

Can't wait till partners are assigned so I can start sewing! I am very short (5') and wear a size small (I more or less fit a size 10 in Simplicity, McCalls patterns, etc.)

Jillzwhimzy 10/20/2008 #

soooo yummy I can't wait!

What a great, fun apron theme! I am so excited to start on the sweet theme.

ps I am a size small or medium and not busty at all.

will there be a Flickr group for us to show off the aprons we send/receive? (I have read a bit in the forums so I assume the photo gallery here isn't going to work.)

kittycat 11/11/2008 #

Do or can we also upload a picture in the (Swap Members Options) above of the apron we sent to our partner?

AmandaC 11/11/2008 #

Hmmm, I've never started a Flickr group before. Let me figure that out and I'll email everyone when it's up! Good idea lizziwhizz! That will be fun. :D

AmandaC 11/11/2008 #

Okay everyone, I set up a Flickr group for our sweet apron photos! You can visit it here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/916350@N20/ Hope everyone has fun posting their pictures!
