Val over at Yarnigras hosted the Cheap Hot Mamas Apron Swap. The idea was to create an apron without spending any money. This is what I received from Madelyn. She made matching aprons for Nature Girl and I. I just love mother daughter aprons!!! So does Nature Girl! She refused to take hers off for the picture. She begrudgingly let me photograph the stickers and necklace making kits but informed me that she was not taking off her apron!
Madelyn made our aprons to be reversible. This is my favorite way to make aprons, as it's a two for one, so what's not to love. This is one of the sides. Notice the chocolate frosting on Nature Girl's sleeve? She helped frost birthday cupcakes before school Friday morning. The worst part is I didn't know she had frosting on her sleeve and sent her to school like that!
This is the reverse side. I can't decide which side I like the best. I love red, black and white together so it's hard to decide. I just love both sides! Thank you Madelyn!!! We love our aprons, they're perfect for us! And thank you for the goodies too!
This is the apron I finished to send to my partner. It's from a Tea Party Apron pattern by the apron lady. I didn't even cheat as I used fabric from my stash and the pattern was purchased with a gift certificate so I didn't spend any money. Hopefully my partner will like the apron. I had fun sewing and I think my sewing machine was happy to see me again!

oh I do love the matching aprons!
I agree though...both sides are equally lovely. So what about the frosting....how many little girls have a working mommy who will let them help make cupcakes for school. She is truly blessed and by that hug, I think she knows it! You have a lovely family! Congrats to Gene too :-)
