Description:
This swap is for all those future fashion designers or just people who like to alter clothes! In this swap you will find an old plain hooded sweater (or non hooded depending on what your partner prefers, or buy one at a thrift store, and alter it according to your partners profile. Please make sure once your done altering it you partner can still wash and dry it. Some ideas are screen printing, you can see how to do it for really cheap on you tube, you can sew on patches that you make or are store bought, you can even emboider it if you have access to that. Something cozy and comfortable they can wear out! This should be a fun swap I hosted one like this for a t-shirt and it went great. Lets have another great one with our hoodies. No flakers or any recent ones. Below under the comment section after youve signed up for this swap list your sweater size, preferred color,design,words, and if you want a hoodie or regular sweater...

Hi! I'd like an xlarge men's or 2x women's sweatshirt, v-neck if possible with no hood. Or if you want to do a hoodie, I'd really prefer a zip front that opens all the way. :) I prefer black or orange, but not together. Or purple. I like skulls, stars, pirate stuff, argyle, the number 13, and steampunk stuff. Please no flowers, girly stuff, pink or pastels, gold (but silver and copper are fine), or blingy jewel-type things. See my profile for more info. Thanks much!!

Ahg! Not enough time for me :( Next time you do some altered clothing swaps (summer perhaps???) I'd like to join though!

Sound like fun but I don't know if I will have enough time, so I'll have to look at my agenda first before I sign up, but still a great Idea!

I guess it's just you and me, dear. :) Maybe no one else signed up because you didn't push the signup date back when you extended the due date...? I'm cool with it though. :) Now... to find a sweatshirt that somewhat goes with the pants I'm already working on....
