Summary: 2 partners each receiving the following

--You will make 6 polka dot YOYO's (5" circle before gathering) of 100% cotton fabric (end result should be YOYO's approximately 2 3/8" across) for each partner

Please make up the YOYO's from 5" circles, (measured 5" before gathering). You will have 2 partners and will make each partner 6 YOYO's in polka dot prints, one new DMC floss in a coordinating color to accent the YOYO's, and 6 coordinating buttons. You may send all the YOYO's alike, or send different colored polka dot prints.

I recieved some yo yos in a swap. what exactly do you do with them?

Hi Bizzles: you can sew them together and make throws, sew them onto a backing for heavy quilts or rugs, make dolls or animals from them. All different ideas when you google yoyo patterns. :) ~Susie

thank you bizzles for your question, and Ssusiesthimbles for your helpful answer.

I had a swapper ask if the dots had to be big...no they do not, big dots, small dots, all is dots....any size dots will do for this swap, as long as they are on 100% cotton fabric.

It will be my first yoyo swap. :o) I can not wait! 6 buttons have to be polka dot, too?

perkl8r 03/30/2010 #

no Lhise, the buttons just should be of coordinating colors, they don't need to be polka dotted.....good question, and thank you for asking!
