Description: | |
The idea for this swap is taken from the scavenger hunt types swaps I have seen. But with a fabric twist. You must 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. But what you send, each item must go for one of the following categories:
Confused yet? Let me give you an example to explain it better. I might send my partner a blue polka dotted fat quarter for #1, a daisy iron on appliqué for #2, a tape measure for #3, metallic purple thread for #4, and a fat quarter with bats and ghosts for #5. Or I could do two yards of pink and white polka dot ribbon for #1, a card of tulip buttons for #2, a pincushion for #3, a purple tape measure for #4 and a fat quarter with fall leaves 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. And since this is a question I would have, yes, items can qualify as more than one category. For instance, I could send a fat quarter that was purple with polka dots and bats. So it could qualify for the something purple, polka dotted and halloweeny but I would need to pick just one category it works for. With this swap I also ask that you include a note explaining which of your choices is for which number. 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 pincushion for #1, that’s fine if it is polka dotted. So to sum up, five fabric or fabric related items that each fit into one of the above categories. And a note telling which item goes for what. Now the rules: There is no dollar amount set for this swap but I ask that you not send junk or used items (unless maybe like a cool vintage item). 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 international and open to swappers with ratings of 4.5 or higher. No newbies. I reserve the right to ban swappers at my discretion. And please, make sure your profile is filled out. If it isn’t, I might think you aren’t serious about swapping and I might choose to ban you. If you have questions about this swap or something isn’t clear, please pm me. Thanks! |
