Announcing the CSC Holiday Sewing Swap!

November 28, 2014 by Tanya

**THIS SWAP IS NOW CLOSED FOR SIGN-UPS**

We thought it would be fun to host a sewing swap among the lovely ladies of our community.  As it’s the holiday season and many of us are busy shopping for our family and friends, this is just a little swap.  Nothing too extravagant or costly.  Just a sweet gift to share with another sewing friend. 🙂

SEWING SWAP

What is this?

  • This is a sewing gift exchange.  You are matched up with a swap partner and put together a small sewing gift to send to them.
  • Your package should consist of a sewing pattern and a small notion or two, not exceeding $15.00 USD.  These items can be new/vintage/thrifted or from your stash.
  • Along with your pattern you could include:  buttons, a zipper, trims or anything that could be used to make the pattern or just notions that think your partner would like.

How can I take part?

  • Comment below with your blog and/or email address where your swap partner can contact you.
  • If you want your partner to live in the same country as you to save on shipping costs, please state that in your comment. (ie, “US only”).
  • You will then be matched up with a swap partner and you can contact each other for mailing addresses and ideas for your gifts.

When is the deadline to sign up for this swap?

  • Friday, December 5 at 11 AM Pacific Standard Time is the deadline to comment on this post and sign up for this swap.

When will I know who my partner is?

  • Swap partners will be announced on December 6.

How much time do I have to send my package?

  • Your swap partner should receive her package by December 25, so plan accordingly.

How does this work again?

  • Comment below with your blog and/or email address to sign up for this sewing swap by December 5 at 11:00 AM PST.
  • Include in your comment whether you’d like your partner to be from the same country/continent as you or whether you are willing to ship internationally.

If you have a blog, you can also snatch this button!

    Count me in. I’m in Australia and while I would love to swap with someone overseas, I just looked at the postage and it would cost more than the present.

    So Australia and NZ only please.
