Description:

1 ATC dotee to 1 partner. This will be beginner friendly so just a basic Dotee ATC.

This will be an open theme. You can use any color/type of fabric and embellishments. The only requirements are that the ATC be the standard 2.5 X 3.5 and be made with fabric. Dotee must have a face and fit within the ATC. It can take up most of the ATC or be smaller. Does not require a hanger and tail but you can of course include that. The rest is up to you. You can make it a simple Dotee or an elaborate Dotee. Do keep in mind that you may receive from someone who is new to making them therefore it may be a very simple Dotee. If you receive a Dotee ATC your partner deserves a 5 regardless of how simple it is made. This does not mean you sew a dotee onto fabric and call it done. Add some embellishments. Decorate the little Dotee somehow.

For anyone not familiar with Dotee ATC's can see examples here

This will be open to anyone with a 4.95 or higher. No recent 1's (within the last 6 months) and no excessive 3's. Newbies also welcome with well filled out profile. Must have logged in within 3 days of sign up date. I will check over participants before assigning partners. Please donot sign up if you donot qualify.

This is an international swap because sending an ATC will not cost much more sending overseas vs within the US and I know there are alot of creative people living outside the US and would hate to exclude them.

This is not profile based (although you are more than welcome to tailor it to your partner) so I am not making this a long stretch between sign up and send by. I figure 2 weeks is plenty of time.

Most importantly, have fun!!!

ETA: For those not sure how they are put together: The dotee is sewn onto the fabric but the fabric piece should have a cardstock backing. Basically you are making an ATC and the theme of the ATC is a dotee.

A question to the Dotee experts............I looked at the pictures. Some look like they are on card stock and some look like just material. Is there a right way? Personally I like the idea of sewing onto fabric and mounting it on cardstock. Thank You.

Very good question @GrammaSherry I edited the description to include an explanation. While I would say it is up to the host of a swap to decide the specifics of creating them we will go with the basic ATC method.
