The Sew Weekly Sewing Circle

Well ladies, I don't know about you, but I've been following the outcomes of the A Common Thread Project and kinda wishing I could be a part of it, too!  The idea of getting something pretty in the mail from another crafty lady somewhere else in the world and then incorporating it into an outfit holds a lot of appeal.  :-)  Kind of like reinforcing that whole sewing community thing by making a garment that someone else contributed to.

 

So I've been thinking, and what I was thinking was - how about we do something similar via the Sewing Circle community?  What if those of us who were interested put our (virtual) hands up, and we then did a little out-of-the-hat draw and each of us sent some lace or pretty ribbon or nice buttons or similar to the person whose name we get given.  And then we can each make a garment incorporating what we receive in the mail from someone else in the circle!  Kind of like one big, happy, swapping circle of pretty sewing notions.

 

What do you think?  Would you be interested?  I'm happy to do the organising (i.e. collect names/addresses, do a random allocation and let everyone know who they're allocated to send something to) if people are keen.

Here it is..  adorable & dreamy !

 

Wow!  How lucky are you to get all that pretty lace!  What are you going to make?

I dont know...  sugestions??

 

Oh, that black-and-white gathered (lace?  elastic?) is so cute!  I can see it being a gorgeous trim on the armholes of a sleeveless or cap-sleeved vintage style dress or top.  :-)
Oh , what beautiful trimming. Love all of it.. And the letter on the pretty paper---what a nice gesture.. Happy  sewing..look forward to  seeing what will happen with all these pretty trims..
Such a pretty package! Look at all that lace! :)
Oooooh!  Ric rac!  Can't wait to see what everyone makes with all these re-homed goodies!
Isn't is more fun to have things from someone else rather than stuff that's been in a personal stash for a while?  I've already got ideas about what I want to do ...

spill the beans.. what are you going to do??

Oooh, pretty!  Love the colour of that ric-rac and that pink floral ribbon is gorgeous!
