COMPLETED - Make a Pouch + Fill It Swap - Send Outs 5/25/2022

Done and sent. I could honestly have kept on crafting. I have to learn how to bookmark excess ideas for the next time I swap with someone who has an uber inspiring Q and Pins!

Yay! I’m probably going to send on the last day. My sewing machine is not cooperating right now.

Is anyone else having trouble finding an appropriately sized box? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I sent in a large cardboardy envelope meant for documents.

I was thinking of using a large bubble padded envelope.

We have some senders, so I just set up the gallery for the swap! I can’t wait to see the sewn goodness!

Ok! An extra I wanted to make: done! All other extras: ready to go!
Pouch: third try was the answer! I made a practice version and yasssss, that fixed the issue. Sewing the final (i hope) version tonight! Woo! I should be able to send out tomorrow!

So earlier this week I went to “The Quilting Bee”. It’s a big barn of quilting fabric and I had never been. Such a bad idea! There was so many choices!!! But I got my fabric and it’s all washed and ready. Now it’s time to be brave and make a pouch! I’ve never made one before, so fingers crossed! I’m going to start working on it today and get it all packaged up tomorrow and send off on Monday. I have most of my extras gathered.

Struggled with a new pouch pattern but I finished and think (hope) I pulled it off. I’m pretty much done but I’m waiting for a final filler element to arrive in the mail on the 24th.

I’m probably going to send on the 25th.

I finished up my pouch today and I love it! Pretty tickled with myself! I’m a novice sewer but making hundreds of face masks really helped bump up my sewing ability. Pretty sure I leveled up! :wink: It’s still a pretty simple design but I love it! I got all the extras stuffed and it is all packed up and ready to be sent off tomorrow.

I worked to finish mine up today and it is all packed up for its new destination! I can’t send tomorrow or Tuesday because I’ll be skipping my lunches both days to leave work early, but I will definitely be sending out on Wednesday. I have extreme swap anxiety because @AudiobookLover is such an amazing seamstress, but I think I did okay. :slight_smile:

I’m excited to see what you made, I’m sure I’ll love it! I actually have done very little sewing for this swap. Today I worked on a project that involved fabric, but no sewing. When I went to put it all together, I discovered that the craft supply I planned on using wasn’t the right size. Thankfully Amazon has what I need (I’m just hoping the size that I ordered will be the right one). It will be here on Tuesday. My plan is to have my shipping label printed and everything ready to go so that once the supply gets here, I can add it to my project and ship the package. I’m hoping the delivery will get here early on Tuesday :crossed_fingers:.

ETA: I just realized that send outs are due Wednesday, not Tuesday! That makes me feel better. If I don’t have time to get the package sent on Tuesday, I’ll have it in the mail on Wednesday.

Mine is done and packed up, but the Post Office near my work is so much faster than the one near my house and I work from home on Mondays, so I will send it tomorrow. :green_heart:

Sent today! Pretty nervous. I’m envisioning everyone else having done way way more and way way better than I did. :sweat_smile:
