Spring Sewing Swap

Well it's officially Spring, so it must be time for a sewing swap. I love sewing swaps, it's a great opportunity to share something with another sewing blogger. The sewing swap will take place in April and May. If you sign up, you should agree to send some sewing related items, either from your stash or purchased (limit £15) to your partner. Try to find out a little bit about them, it's all about building community, you could even make something for them.  

If you're interested in taking part comment below making sure you leave your email, or it's easy to find on a blog link, or email me directly. Please do so by the 31st March.  All swaps should be completed by May 17th. Please blog about your swap and send me a link so I can share it too.

Let's build some sewing community. 

Spring Sewing Swap

What a wonderful thing a sewing swap is. I've never taken part in anything like this before and i'm already looking forward to the next one, it's such a great way to find new sewing friends and i'm so glad that Kerry at Kestrel Finds and Makes set this up.


I was partnered up with Helen from Grosgrain Green, I've loved looking at her blog to help me figure out what I'd include in her parcel - staying within budget was tricky, but I managed it, adding a book that I'd got two copies of. - I hope she has fun using the stuff I sent her.

I received my parcel last week and Helen had given me such beautiful and carefully chosen items. There was a cute little button box and hidden inside was the most exquisite binding I've ever seen. Red gingham bias binding, with a crochet picot edge. I'm looking forward to using it soon. A selection of stunning buttons from the polished button and some beautiful silk thread in my favourite shade of turquoise/green. I've seen this stuff on Etsy before and I can't wait to use it! 
Thank you Helen.
