    Ooh I have made some ruffled aprons as gifts in the past but typically never got around to making one for myself! I would probably use polka dots and florals, any colour.

    I've been Mia in blogland for a week, good day to check in lol xx

    OMW how cute is this apron?? I have been eyeing and spying cute aprons all over the place and have been SO wanting one of my own. I own a sewing machine but it doesn't like me...so I use it primarily for decoration in my craft room! lol! Anyways, I totally hope I win this but if I DON'T I think I'm gonna try to MAKE It! WOOHOO! This could get interesting! :)

    If the apron was for my little "C" (my 4 year old) it would be all different shades of Pink -- she is all about pink and ruffles. My oldest daughter, "E" is all about lime green and turquoise! : )

    This is adorable -- I am partial to the pink and green (of course)

    Cute, cute, cute! I would normally be pretty neutral...natural, black $ white polka dots. Maybe a punch of red :) But the fun colors you chose are really speaking to me for Spring...very "playful". Found you through ATI...and following now :) Laurel@chippingwithcharm
