Sewing Mavens Needed

Yuka is so awesome that she will have ten aprons ready to sell for the summer fair--A little AVONMORE APRON for all of us masterchefs at home ;-).

Rebecca can sew some--but she needs a sewing machine...

And I can't sew a button to my own sleeve...but I know there must be TWO MORE folks out there that can meet with Yuka, share a pattern and get us 10 more aprons!  

Please email ASAP
