Just wondering if anyone out there in the blogosphere would be interested in a handmade Christmas Decoration Swap. I love to sew, but like to have a reason to do so and sewing for others is always more fun. I also need to sew something that can be of use, so thought a decoration would be just the thing. I have never organised a swap before so could be going into this a little naively . I was planning to take the name and address of anyone interested – mix us up a little – hand everyone a partner and hey presto!
I thought that we could make one (or more) decorations in any media that we like – be that sewing, felting, knitting…..whatever. Decorations would have to be finished and in the post by the end of November (proof of posting can be photographed – just in case). We could post any progress or pictures of decorations received. Any thoughts?
Let me know if you would be interested by leaving a comment below (before 31st October if possible). We have about a month before things need to go into the post.
Happy Sewing……
I would love to be a part of your ornament swap, so count me in.
Could just be you and me! Haha!
That would be ok, at least we have some one to swap with 😆
I’ll give it a week or so – and then let you know! But definitely one swap on the books!
Hi there, if you are still interested in a decoration swap – could you email (or DM on IG) your details and we can get started. xx
I’m definitely still interested. Just sent you a DM
Sounds a great idea, count me in too 🙂
Yay, and then there were three!

Yay, a small, but select group!

So sorry for not giving details as requested! I normally read your blog via Feedly and therefore don’t get to see the comments. I only checked today after seeing that thecraftycreek had already made her decoration. Too late now for me but maybe next year?
No worries – as you say, there is always next year!
I’ll join in too, a small project or two is about all I can handle at the moment! But I am in Oz, so that could be rather inconvenient for everyone else! Happy to sit out if it’s too complicated. Great idea!
No way, I am sure we can accommodate you Catherine!

Ok, thank you Catherine.
This is a lovely idea x can’t commit this year feeling a bit overwhelmed with all my to do lists! But just wanted to say I love it!
No worries, I know what it is like when you have so much to do and so little time!
I could be interested if you decide to move forward. I make ceramic raku ornaments like the ones here: https://rakupottery.ca/2018/11/15/xmas18/
Let me know if you decide to move forward with the exchange.
Hi there – we have already started I am afraid. But if you would like to do a single swap with me then I would be more than happy.
Let me see what I have and I will get back to you!
