Great way to get some practice in. It can something for their kids or for them. It does not have to be expensive or perfect. Something heartfelt and sincere. $5-$10 worth (it does not have to cost that much to make).

Fun idea... I am just starting to get into sewing. What a great way to practice my skills!

Sillyna511, thanks for joing our group. It will be a lot of fun. I know quite a few moms who are daunted by sewing but all they have to do is take that first step :) I believe this swap can do just that.

Now I just need to figure out what to make... LOL.

So far I've only made 1 tote bag (through an "intro to sewing" class) and re-purposed an old sheet into curtains for my sunday school classroom at my church. So I'm definitely a beginner! Time to look for beginner projects on pinterest, lol.

I am new to swap bot but just graduated with a degree in Fashion Design. I am not new to sewing but will love to get hand made goods from someone starting. If you get me and would like help with anything or advice feel free to send a note asking, or if you want to just message me that is cool as well. The offer is open to anyone in the swap to :). We all have to start some where right? Sewing is my life right now so I am very excited about this!!!

I bought all the fabric today - yay! Now I just need to find the time to start sewing. :)

Will be going to the post office either on my lunch break, or after work, depending on how the day goes. :)

So, I did get the packages our yesterday. I just didn't get back online until today so although my send date says today, it really was yesterday. :-) if anyone wants a copy of the receipt I can send.

This was a lot of fun, definitely think you should host a part 2 :)
