The Sew Weekly Sewing Circle

Hey there lovely ladies!

 

A while back, a group of us took part in a world-travelling lace and notions swap, and had lots of fun bundling up goodies and sending them as a surprise to one of the other Sew Weekly sewing circle ladies.  After the swap wrapped up, the idea was floated that we do something similar - this time with patterns!  It feels like enough time has passed now, so....  who's up for another mystery swap?

 

The idea for this one is:

 - Everyone who takes part will send a pattern to their swap partner.  New or vintage - it's up to you.

 - If you're keen to take part, email me your address and your measurements (bust, hip, waist) so I can pass these on to your swap partner (after all, they need to know what size pattern to hunt out for you, don't they?!)

 - I'll take sign-ups for the swap until next Sunday (2 October)

 - I'll then put all the names into a magic hat (aka a spreadsheet and random.org's number generator) and email you the name, address, measurements and Sew Weekly name for the person you're sending something to

 - After that, we'll all have 2 weeks to find a pattern we think our swap partner would like and get it in the mail to them

 - Once we all receive our swap pattern, we'll post it up on here (use the tag 'patternswap') so we can see what we all got!

 - And then your challenge is to use that pattern - either as a separate challenge, or as part of a Sew Weekly challenge, whatever works for you.  Then post the picture of your creation up on here, using the tag 'patternswap' again so we can all see them.

 

What do you think?  Anyone keen?

This was so much fun last time, I don't know what was nicer, the thinking about what to send, the finding out who you would send to, the wrapping it, the receiving the parcel, the finding out who sent to you, opening the parcel or using the things!

 

The whole thing was fantastic - thanks for organising it again Kat x

You're more than welcome!  I can hardly wait to see who I'm sending a pattern to - it'll be so much fun picking out something I think they'd like!  :-)

I am just working up the courage to share my (enormous) bust measurement with you.... tee hee.... I will send you that message later ;0)

 

Me too Charolette.. [[eeh..fat old woman, like me...eeeh.].hahahahaha
I just hope no-one spills the beans Judy, my measurements are a cloesly guarded secret x
funny Charolette.. I so agree.............
I'm just afraid someone will think i wrote it done wrong- all 3 numbers are so similiar!
Wiih, I'd love to do this! So fun!
Cool, I'm up for it! Will send you my measurements later.
