I recently participated in Kestrel Makes' Spring Sewing Swap. My first sewing swap. What fun! I was paired with Stephanie of 10 Sewing Machines and a Serger who lives in the US.
It was very exciting to get to know someone through their blog and choose things to send to them.
Once I had sent off my parcel to my Stephanie, I was stalking the post box waiting for my parcel to arrive, like a child at Christmas!!
I got the following:
Knit fabric
A Silhouttes pattern (Dana's top)
Buttons
Ribbons
Beads
A marking pen
I had never heard of this pattern company and am very keen to use the fabric Stephanie sent me to make up the V neck version of this top.

I unfortuantely did not take a pic of what I sent Stephanie, so I have shamelessly "borrowed" a pic from Stephanie's blog to show what I sent her!
It was great fun! Thanks again for all the lovely goodies :)
ReplyDeleteSewing swaps sound so fun. I'm excited to see what you do with your goodies!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Silhouettes either, but that pattern looks like a great basic to have in your collection.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog; I've nominated you for an award.
