I participated in my first sewing swap hosted by Kestrel Makes and was paired up with Natalie of a Modest Girl’s Sewing Adventures. It was fun talking with Natalie and shopping and going through my stash to find fabrics that I hoped would suit her. You never know what kind of fabric anyone will like and actually sew with,so that’s a little bit nerveracking. I love to send gifts in the mail (and of course receive them!). 🙂
I was painting in my sewing studio most of the afternoon and was surprised when I went down to get the mail and find my package from Natalie.
She sent me some lovely pink polka dot fabric, some trim, a covered buckle set and some samples from her Avon business. Now the wheels are turning in my head as I think of what I’m going to make with this!
Isn’t this fabric awesome? It appears to be a poly blend satin. I’m going to make a dress out of it, but not sure what pattern I will use. Something that is drapey, I think.
I certainly can’t wait to do this again! And thank you, Natalie!
That’s great fabric, lots of possibilities for pretty things!
Most definitely!
NIce haul! I’m hoping my swappee got her box today and is as pleased as you are
I’m sure she will be! 🙂
I’m glad you love the package! I seriously can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Thank you, again!!!=I can’t wait to see it in a dress, either! 🙂
Looks like you have received some lovely things! I too am part of Kestrel’s swap and am still umming and ahing about a few more things to get!! I’d better get a move on!
It’s hard, isn’t it? You better hurry up! 🙂
