Aprons are from Hobby Lobby. At their half-price sale, they were $2.00 and $1.50!

The mom didn't want text on hers, just the daughter's. I thought they turned out pretty nicely!

Thanks! The kid's apron the cupcakes are unaltered. On the mom's apron, I enlarged them by 25% and there were a few places where the outline didn't quite meet the stitching. I've had much bigger issues with other designs and enlarging, though!

Great idea, Heather. Just wanted to let you and anyone else out there know that sometimes if you resize designs more than 20% (or even less depending on your software), your design may not maintain the original quality. This is because some software doesn't recalculate stitches or may do something else strange to the design. If you do resize one of our designs and the outlines don't line up, this is most likely what caused it. If that's the case, we'd be happy to resize it for you so that we maintain the integrity of the original design. If stabilized and hooped properly, our outlines should ALWAYS align. :) Feel free to take advantage of this extra perk we offer anytime!!! :)
Hope everyone is enjoying the week before Christmas!

Nope, there's no charge. It's not something we will be putting in bold lettering on our homepage anytime soon, otherwise we'd be resizing all day long. But, if you need something done here or there, we'd be happy to do it for you. We'd rather you have a design that stitched out how it was meant to be, than one that was off a little due to software issues. :)

How AMAZINGLY cool is that?!?! :adore:
I knew I was pushing it by going 25% instead of 20%, and with most designs I wouldn't stretch it that far, but thought I'd gamble on the $3 apron. ;)

Your aprons are lovely.
Your aprons are very cute!! What type of stabilizer did you use and did you wash the aprons first?

Thanks!
I used a medium-weight cut-away and I did wash them first. Now I always wash things first.

Well I must say this is the first time that I found that you would adjust the size for you! Now that is customer satisfaction at its best!
Love the aprons. This Mimi needs a few matching ones too!

Super cute aprons! Even for a couple of best friends to have matching aprons would be cute playing together.

Those are so cute. My sister has an embroidered apron already, but I am now going to make one for my niece.
How cool is it that you will resize!?!?! What a GREAT company!

I wish I could find some aprons that cheap. My really good friend is a baker and I did an apron for her. But I had to look everywhere for the apron and it was about $8!!! I was shocked. I thought aprons would be easy to find and cheap.....boy was I wrong. ;)
