Description: | |
You will send 5 fabric or fabric/sewing related items to your partner. Things like fat quarters, ribbon, thread, buttons, seam rippers, iron-ons, pincushions, etc. would work. Each item must go for one of the following categories: Something black and white Something with red Something with polka dots Something sharp Something spring colors Some examples:. Send your partner a yard of black and white ribbon for #1, a spool of red thread for #2, a fat quarter for #3, a seam ripper for #4, and a yard of fabric for #5. Or a spool of variegated thread for #1, a roll of yarn for #2, a yard or two of #3, a package of pins for #4 and an pincushion for #5. As you can see, you can get really creative with this and have some fun. Or I could send 5 fat quarters that fit each of the categories. But you cannot send five items for only one category (like 5 something blue) or one item for all five categories. There must be five items. And all of the categories must be represented. Items can qualify as more than one category. A fat quarter that would work for the something black and white and something polka dot but use it for one category only. You could make some of the items – as long as they fit one of the categories and are fabric / sewing related. So let’s say you want to make a polka dot needle book for #3 that’s fine because it would be polka dot. Inlcude a note explaining what item is for each number . Now the rules: There is no dollar amount set for this swap but I ask that you not send junk or used items.Also no little scraps of fabric. If you are going to send fabric it must be a minimum of a fat quarter. And with ribbon, it must be a minimum cut of one yard. And I ask that you check your partner’s profile for likes/dislikes. Sending your partner blue embroidery thread would work but if they don’t embroider, it’s useless. This swap is US only and open to swappers with ratings of 4.5 or higher. I reserve the right to ban swappers at my discretion. Newbies- profiles must be filled out. If you have questions about this swap or something isn’t clear, please pm me. Thanks! This swap came from a similar one that was done in the past by another swapper. I do not try to take credit for coming up with the great idea! |
