Description:

Does your sewing machine intimidate you? Does a needle taunt you when you attempt to thread it? Do you look at your sewing machine and wonder, "How does this thing work anyway?" Do you still have nightmares about home ec class in high school?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions then this is the swap for you!!!

For this swap you will * attempt *( yes I said attempt lol ) to create one of the following sewing crafts for your partner:

~ dotee doll

~ reusable bag (think grocery store bag)

or

~ small pillow (think couch/sofa size but keep in mind if shipping international, although light might cost a bit more to send due to size)

Since this swap is for those of us who are sewing challenged, I expect a lot of heart in this swap to compensate for experience! It's definitely the thought that counts and who knows, someone just might discover a new hidden talent!

I didn't take Home Ec, my Aunt was the teacher. I took typing instead. Now I don't know how to do anything, but I can type 90 wpm with less than 3 errors.....

I remember making homemade granola bars, they were so hard and gross I stuffed them inside my sewing desk in class and forgot about them until the end of the semester...lol...

I remember that I took a Food and Nutrition class. For my cooking project, I made an apple crisp casserole. It was so good. It's the only thing I ever learned how to bake.
