Apron Swap

What better way to kick off summer than with a NEW apron?!

Deadline for entry is May 5!

SO HERE’S HOW IT WILL WORK: 

1.)  Starting April 28th – May 5th send an email to abbywelker(at)yahoo(dot)com with:

Name

Address (very IMPORTANT)

Blog Address (if you have one)

Please specify if there is a color you can’t live with

Please specify if you’re willing to ship internationally

Your name does no good if she doesn’t have your address!

Also-check your Bulk or Junk folders in case you don’t get a reply from her. You might have to add her email address to your address book so your program won’t delete her emails to you.

SWAP will be CLOSED on May 5th

2.) Apron must be HAND MADE and have:

Summer Theme
At least 1 pocket
Include a fun story or information about yourself and anything else you want like a recipe, cookbook, etc.

3.) Be CREATIVE! The rest is up to you – use your imagination! 

  

4.) Aprons MUST be in the mail no later than June 9th!

That gives everybody 4 weeks to sew.

FAQ’s:When will I know who my swap buddy is?
It’s going to take a week for all of the names to roll in, and then another day or two for me to compile them into a swap list.

HELP! I don’t know where to start! Where can I get some inspiration?
Go to my “Aprons” link section on this blog and you’ll find several websites with all kinds of designs.

When can I start my apron?
Any time you want! Start today if you know you want to participate.

When can I mail my apron?
Any time after you get your swap buddy’s name and address – NO LATER THAN JUNE 9TH.

Does my apron have to be fancy? Where can I find an easy pattern?
NO! Your apron should be whatever you’d like it to be. Here are some easy apron instructions if you don’t know what to do. You can also purchase patterns at a craft store or online shop.

What if I bail and decide not to make or send an apron?
That would be a huge bummer for the person waiting for your apron. Don’t commit to the swap if you don’t think you’ll actually do it! If you have to, go to an online boutique (some are listed on this site) and buy one if you get overwhelmed.And…She’s got friends in low places. Don’t make her come after you! (just kidding – but seriously, folks.)

Will I know the person who I am swapping with?
No -  She randomly swap names and pays attention to people who might live in the same area. The idea is to send and receive something from someone you don’t know.

I am soooo participating in this and thought I’d share with my blog friends incase any of you would like to join in the fun!
