Complete - Sew Scrappy Swap

GALLERY LINK

Calling all scrapbusters!

If you’re like most crafters who use fabric, you’ve got a small (or extra large) stockpile of fabric scraps you’ve saved. This swap will help reduce those piles, boxes, bags, or storage units! If you’re into scrappy or patchwork style, this swap is for you!!!

In this swap, we will be making 1 medium + 1 small (or 2 extra smalls) for our partners.

My sewing machine cried out for care. It developed a sqeak. It needed cleaning and service anyway but now I am feeling lonely. It will be back in time for this swap and the 3 + projects in the works.

We have so much scrappy talent in this swap! I am itching to start crafting, so I decided to try making some of @Magpie 's quilted beads. Maybe they will end up in someone’s swap package? At least I am channeling my creative energy. :slightly_smiling_face:
