Swap categories: Fabric  Sewing  Craft Supplies 
Number of people in swap:27

Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:June 12, 2009

Number of swap partners:1
Description:

Say that five times fast!

For this swap you will have 1 partner and 4 themes. For each one of the themes, you have to find a sewing-related item that pertains. For example, if one of the themes is "Blue" then you could either send a FQ of blue fabric, send some blue buttons, etc. You must find one item for each theme. You cannot have two themes represent one item.

Please send a note with your package listing what item goes with what theme.

Please do not spend too much money, this is just meant to be fun for both the sender and the recipient. Around $5 would be adequate I think.

Themes:

*Something with polka dots

*Something sparkly

*Something green

*Something smaller than 3"

Have fun, can't wait to see what everyone finds!

Thanks for setting this up sweetheart. Hugs to you.

What a great idea!!! I'm really excited about this swap:) I am a little confused about "something smaller than 3"??? Maybe you could clarify a little bit exactly what we're looking for here? Sorry if I am being dense, lol.

bettflow09 - Things that immediately came to mind for me were buttons, thimbles, spool of thread, tiny pincushion, appliques just to name a few.

hayatiggs 06/ 5/2009 #

Yes bettflow, scottieacres has the right idea. Just some little something that's smaller than 3", whether it be 3" across (like a spool of thread or buttons) or 3" long (like mini pair of scissors or something). Just think small :)

zorropirate 06/ 5/2009 #

Ok, Just to make sure I'm reading this right.... My goal for this swap would be to gather 4 "things" (be they a peice of fabric, a bunch of buttons, some thread etc...) and each one would have to "fit" into one of the four catagories listed. And I'd need to come up with four "things" (I keep putting things in quotations because obviously I'm not going to count one single button as one item)

Is this right?? If so count me in!!! :) Jess

Oh wait? Do you assign the themes with the partner? It's getting late in the afternoon, my reading comprehension skills are lacking.

AwtemNymf 06/ 6/2009 #

zorropirate the "themes" are listed: ie: "Something Polka Dot", "Something Sparkly", "Something Green" and "Something smaller than 3" ". No worries sometimes my comprehension skills lacks if I don't have my morning cup of hot tea or coffee to jumpstart my day LOL winks ~A~

AwtemNymf 06/ 6/2009 #

I'm in. Thanks Hayatiggs!

hayatiggs 06/ 6/2009 #

Yes zorropirate, AwtemNymf answered perfectly. The 4 themes listed in the description are what everyone will be using.

@AwtemNymf You're welcome, glad you could join! ;)

sound like fun

zorropirate 06/10/2009 #

:) Sometimes I just get so excited I skim over thing while reading, then I confuse myself and read it over again too slowly. HAHAH.

I'm in for this swap though!

Love2Teach 06/10/2009 #

I'm not going to have the money for this swap....maybe we could do it again later?

hayatiggs 06/10/2009 #

@Love2Teach I'm sure there will be another round later :)

hayatiggs 06/12/2009 #

Last day to sign up! If you think you know anyone in the group who might like this swap but hasn't signed up for it yet, let them know! :)

hayatiggs 06/13/2009 #

Partners have been assigned. Have fun everyone! :)

AwtemNymf 06/13/2009 #

Thanks hun! Off to scout and then send today as I'm making a PO run :O) Thanks for a great swap! ~A~

hayatiggs 06/15/2009 #

If anyone gets stuck on an item, take your list of themes with you to a fabric store, or the sewing section of a store and just browse. You'd be surprised what all you can find that will work for these themes! :)

hayatiggs 06/30/2009 #

Today is the mailing date. If for some reason you can't mail today, PLEASE let me AND your partner know!

zorropirate 07/ 1/2009 #

Dropped my package off at the mail yesterday! Totally forgot today is a holiday though. :)

hayatiggs 07/ 2/2009 #

Please make sure you rate your partner when you receive! And if you want to rate me, it's appreciated :)

hayatiggs 07/ 4/2009 #

Ok, I have heard form everyone, and it looks like we shouldn't have any flakers. That makes me extremely happy. Thanks so much everyone for making this a successful swap!

hayatiggs 07/12/2009 #

I hope you all had fun with this swap. We will hopefully be doing another round in the next couple of months with all new themes! :)
