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?

I'm in - but like Charlotte, I'm not game to share my measurements here!  Ha ha!  Will be glad to e:mail them to you.  Can I be cheeky and make a suggestion as well - wouldn't it be nice if we included something Christmassy in the packet as well?  I've noticed that all the shops are starting to crank up for Christmas and with Sew Weekly swaps being worldwide, there probably wouldn't be enough time to organise a uniquely Christmas swap, given the varied postal times.    

Oh, nice idea!  :-)
Oh What Fun Diane,.. I love Christmas.. this would be sooo fun..
yes.. or a little gift
Yes yes!

I'm in! I think it will be fun especially as I have a hard time stepping outside of my self imposed box.

Yes, I really enjoyed this, although I had so many lovely gifts that I still haven't used them all!
Ths sounds like fun. I have never done anythin like this before can't wait to get started. Kat could I please get your email to send my measurements. Thank you....
