I was able to find the original Make a Bag and Fill it Swap on The Way Back Machine. (Only the first page of the gallery was saved)

I love to show past swaps!

Wish we could see more of the gallery; bet there were some really cool handcrafted bags on there. I have an out-of-state visitor right now, but plan to sign up once they’re gone.

I was hoping more of the gallery was saved as well too. Glad you’re going to sign up! :purple_heart: I’ve been really excited to host this swap. :grin:

I’m interested if people are willing to mail international, I know it’s not in everyone’s budget

If no one else wants to, I can always be your partner. It would be funny since you were.my partner when I joined this swap in Craftster. You have my first sewn bag. :purple_heart:

I’m interested too - but like @Edel, I don’t want people to feel obligated to mail international.

If you have two international people, most of the time, the organizer can pair those two together to make it cheaper and faster for everyone. Just tell @Manders you would like to be partnered!

Also pinging @Bunny1kenobi and @photojenn, who expressed interest in the initial discussion on the other thread. And @gozer, I’m also hoping you’ll post pictures in the gallery if you make a bag for yourself without officially participating in the swap.
