I have recently participated in the
INAUGURAL WINTER SWAP 2013 hosted by Penny at
Dresses and Me.
I had never participated in a fabric swap before but Penny outlined really clearly how it would work. I really like the idea of receiving a parcel that would be completely mysterious.
After a really busy week at work I arrived home on Friday evening to find my parcel waiting for me :-)
My parcel was a treasure chest of sewing goodies ...
I love this wee purse size sewing kit - just perfect.
These cute buttons, pack of 20cm zippers and pretty bias - the boats and polka dot bias is steering me toward a shift dress.
I have never seen this magazine before and have already read it cover to cover.
A Burda pattern - I'm really liking the look of view A
Two pieces of fabric. The small polka dot almost looks red in the picture, but is actually cerise pink, I would say a chiffon and it sparkles, not that you can tell from the picture. The other piece is a cotton.
The last is a miniature hot water bottle for those cold winter nights. The perfect size for my lap while sitting at the sewing machine :-)
All wrapped up together with this charming card and envelope - most definitely a case of card envy!!!
Thanks so much
Trees for being my Winter Swap partner :-)
