Description:

You will make the sewing machine mat to suit the partners colors. You will want to be sure you put your likes of colors in the Comments section at the bottom of the swap, along with your favorite colors you will need to measure you machines width and length. I would add a inch all around the machine's measurements just to be on the safe side. You don't have to make the squares that are shown in the picture, just two basic colors would be awesome also. We will see what we all can come up with. Rules:

Robin:

1) Does it have to be patchwork? (I notice that the originator did this only because she couldn't decide on just one fabric.)

2) We will need the width of our partner's machines to make this. (I have a very long machine so this would make a difference as I wouldn't want a short mat with the pincushion in the way.)

Very True dear friend.

biasbabe 03/22/2009 #

And know you don't have to use the squares, only if you choose too. I wrote a couple things on the swap itself..

TerryF 03/23/2009 #

Thx Sweetie - I have joined! Always wanted one of these mats but never get around to making one for myself...lol

TerryF 03/23/2009 #

My favourite colours are blues, blue-greens (like aqua, turquoise, teal), purples, blue-reds (like burgundy, maroon, wine, raspberry)taupes, soft pinks, soft yellows.

My favourite colours for the mat would be blues, or multicolour patchwork if you want to, or golds. I will have to go and measure my sewing machine (its a normal sized Janome)!

TerryF 04/21/2009 #

I am just moving this to my watchlist for now so I can join some other swaps that send earlier - I will rejoin closer to the signup date.

TerryF 04/24/2009 #

Rejoined!

Mine is 13 ^ Long X 18> wide

I love the colors Beige and Hunter green.

Do we have to make the pin cushion, or is that optional? I'm still a beginner sewer, but I think I can do this project as long as my partner is okay with having a beginners piece of work. My machine is 15" (length) X 6" (width) without adding anything, 16" X 7" if I add an inch. My favorite color is purple, any shade! I prefer soft colors, don't like neon colors at all. I don't care for yellow, or gold colors. I like stripes, geometric designs and polka dots. If you can use fabric from your own stash, go ahead and do that instead of buying new.

Love2Teach 04/28/2009 #

PS I also love pool blues and turquoise colors.

biasbabe 04/30/2009 #

When you have your partner assigned just ask them about the pin cushion if they would or wouldn't like it.

TerryF 05/ 1/2009 #

I would like a pincushion please and thanks - and will make one for my partner unless I hear otherwise right away.

Cakers 05/19/2009 #

Hi everyone - my machine is 15" x 5". I'm great with any colors but my preference is towards the jewel tones - emerald green, dark purple, deep blue, dark red. But feel free to use whatever you like, thanks.

SecretSheep 05/24/2009 #

Hello. For mine, I'd like that turquoise/brown mix in any pattern, or any turquoise, or pretty pinks. And a pincushion would be gorgeous, thanks!!

WaterDragon 05/30/2009 #

Any mix of color would be great for me, just not a lot of pink.

Cakers 06/ 7/2009 #

p.s. I would LOVE a pin cushion as I don't own one. Can you believe that? Thanks!

Charrley 06/11/2009 #

Hi. My machine measures 8" deep by 17" wide. My sewing room theme is that of a Paris/fashion business - rather "old" Paris. The colors that would coordinate with the room are soft pinks and greens, black, and tan. Any combination would be fine. Thank you!

Charrley 06/11/2009 #

Ooops, my measurements above include the 1" added all around. Thanks!

creativebebe 06/11/2009 #

My sewing machine needs to be 21" x 12" (these measurements are with a 2" border). My sewing/bedroom is white with robin's egg blue and natural linen accent throws and accessories. My sewing table is all white. Hope that helps....if you need more info, please PM me. I will love whatever I receive.....because handmade is my favorite! Thanks in advance :)

Lynnie 06/11/2009 #

My sewing machine is 15" X 7" and I would love a pincushion. Pinks and sage green would be great...but you could also surprise me!

WaterDragon 06/18/2009 #

sorry i forgot my measurements... they are 18 x11 and a pin cushion is optional. i always love pin cushions and things homemade.
