In this swap, participants will create a handmade “Martini Madness” apron. I strongly suggest a cocktail apron, wispy and cute, perfect for entertaining. However, you are allowed to request something more practical, even though it is the sewer’s choice. You will include one CUTE martini glass. DO NOT feel like you have to spend lots of money on this – I see martini glasses all the time at Goodwill or other resale shops, craigslist, and Crate and Barrel sells the cutest ones for under $10. Just get creative.
The martini glasses and aprons must be sent by February 8 (or earlier, if you're new to the Flirty Apron Swap) and remember to wrap them carefully – I would hate for someone to spend time and money to buy or create a beautiful glass only for it to show up in pieces!
If you have anything you'd like to donate for a giveaway, just let me know and I'm happy to highlight your shop or blog in exchange.

ReplyDeleteWho can resist something flirty and fun...who knows, maybe I'll even get round to trying a martini:)
I just registered. This does sound like fun and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
ReplyDeleteI had ONE martini, back in the '70s..and that was enough - kinda reminded me of jet fuel :-)But I do have martini glasses and I use them to serve shrimp cocktail in! I put chopped green onion and celery in the bottom, then the shrimp, and top with seafood sauce and a green onion curl or two. Yumm! And no hint of jet fuel :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your new swap theme, Shawnee!
What fun! I love cocktails but admit I never had a martini. I'm in!

I love aprons, I love swaps and I LOVE martinis!! How awesome is this swap? I have had my fair share of martinis (however they are fruity and not as filled with alcohol or gin as the original!).
ReplyDeleteBetty and Val - I'm on top of tracking down your aprons or replacing them, never fear! Some gals got a bit overwhelmed I think.

I don't drink alcohol at all but this sounds fun to do. I'm so excited.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I just said I was staying away from swaps for a while! Great theme, Shawnee, we should have lots of fun finding all those martini references. I'll vote for a Tanqueray (gin) martini on the rocks to help cool off a hot summer afternoon....
ReplyDeleteHi! I signed up for the swap yesterday. This is my first swap ever and I am SO EXCITED! I love making, studying, and collecting aprons. My name is Audrey and I can't wait to do the swap!
ReplyDeleteLove the theme! Gonna start those ideas swirling around in my head... maybe a drink will help!
ReplyDeleteOh shooty pooty, I can't play this time. I will be stopping by to see what these talented ladies come up with.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooo or should I say, Sew... up my alley! lol!
ReplyDeleteLuv Aprons, Luv Martinis & luv Chocolate! lol!
Thanx for the invite...sorry I could not come over to play for the Holiday one....
Oh and Martini glasses are great for Pudding and Parfait not to mention ice cream w/a sugar waffer! or just to use as a candy dish.

I looked up Martini glasses as I don't use them. I use wine glasses for parfaits and things. They have all sorts of cute ones at Crate and Barrel. Affordable, too.
ReplyDeleteIn!
ReplyDeleteI made martinis once for BillHubby and me. I thought he was almost home so I made and poured 'em. He decided to stop at the grocery store "real fast." Those were some nasty drinks by the time he got home and we tried them. Not sure if it was because the drinks were sitting a while or if the "Classic" recipe was just nasty. ;)
Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with on this swap!
I don't drink, but I might start after this fun swap!! Count me in.
ReplyDeleteReady or not, here I come!
ReplyDeleteJust registered and I'm psyched to see all the wicked flirty apron creations everyone comes up with! Happy Apron making everyone!
ReplyDeleteYippeee...I'm in! I haven't been in one for a few months and I've missed my apronista friends, so I'm really looking forward to this swap! CHEERS! Jennifer :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I registered but this is my first time, and need info. I am excited!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought I commented before but I guess not - this is my first swap... looks like a ton of fun though!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, I can't wait!
