I'm hostessing my first swap on Swap-Bot. It's a
Penny Pocket Swap! Penny Pockets are small fabric pockets used for decoration or cute storage. The photo above is one I made to hold buttons for a recent vintage button swap.
These are quick and simple to make. You can find more photos at
The Happy Zombie's web site, and a complete pattern from Happy Zombie
here.
In this swap, you will receive one partner's name and mailing address, and you will mail your partner 3 penny pockets in coordinating colors and fabrics. Although the original pattern doesn't call for a hanging loop on the top of the Penny Pocket, the swap does. You must use the pattern given, but you can embellish your pocket, add a button, lace, ric rac -- whatever you think your partner will like after you've read their profile. Sewing machine is required. The swap is open to USA folks only.
Sign up by Feb. 15, 2009, and mail the pockets out by March 8, 2009. If you're not a member of
swap-bot, it's easy to join! New members find it hard to get into swaps (most don't allow "newbies") but this one is open to newbies as well, so it's a good way to get your foot in the door at Swap-Bot.
Come have some fun with me!
