CC: Ooooh, SEW good!

For this swap we're going to celebrate the happy partnership of collage and sewing.

Incorporate the theme of sewing into your collage. Choose materials typically used for sewing (sewing pattern tissue, sewing pattern covers, buttons, lace, measuring tape, etc) and the subject of sewing into your collage. Feel free to play with the idea of patterns as well - sewing patterns or pattern as in design.

One other must is there must be sewing somewhere on the collage.

Whether you choose to make an all fabric collage or a paper collage with something like a sewn border, the choice is yours. Be creative and add sewing to your collage.

This is a postcard that CAN be mailed naked however, be sure to include enough postage. Feel free to pop it into an envelope if you want (it may still require extra postage if it's bumpy or heavy).

Delight your partner with your creative spirit. Make something wonderful.

Please be sure to include your name and the name of the swap so your partner can rate you.

Some really cool collages that incorporate sewing patterns that don't include actual sewing ... so just add sewing and they'd fit this swap
