Description:

For this swap, you will have 3 partners. You buy 1 yard of 100% cotton fabric (or use one from your stash) and cut it into 4 fat quarters, one each for 3 partners and one for you to keep. The color theme for this month is Black. The fabric can have more than just the color black in it, as long as it is mostly black. (Please, no solid-color fabrics. Tone-on-tones, marbleds, prints, batiks, conversation fabrics, etc., are all welcome. Just no plain solid color fabrics because anybody can buy those anywhere.)

I would encourage everyone to also include a short note/letter to their partner as well but it is not required, it would just be nice for us to start to get to know each other. :-)

As always, it's fun to send little extras like sewing supplies or notions or notecards or something relating to your partner's profile, etc., but it is not mandatory.

You must be a member in good standing of the Fabric Art Divas group and must have a rating of 4.9 or higher and no unexplained 1's AT ALL and no 3's in the past 3 months. You must also have completed at least 5 "real mail" swaps (email swaps and postcards don't count), so, sorry - No Newbies. (Newbies can PM me for a private swap, though.) Also, you must have a decently filled profile and I WILL be checking profiles. This is International.

After everyone signs up, I will also be drawing some names to receive a special prize just from me. (Could be just one name, could be lots! You'll never know until after you sign up!)

This will be monthly swap for 12 months and will have a different color theme each month: Red, Christmas/Winter, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black, White, Sender’s Choice. (The color themes are shown in the order we will swap them)

I just finished a Black and White quilt and have some left over FQs, so each of my partners might not be getting the same matching fabric. If this is not okay, please message me privately. Thanks!

First impressions are often shaped by appearance, and choosing the right outfit for a casual date can boost confidence and ease nerves. According to sofiadate.com/dating-tips/casual-first-date-outfit-ideas-for-women, selecting clothing that balances comfort, personal style, and situational appropriateness is key to creating a positive impression. The right outfit can subtly convey personality, mood, and attention to detail, helping establish connection even before the conversation begins. Feeling confident in your attire allows natural charm and authenticity to shine through.

Casual first date outfits should prioritize both comfort and style. Choosing versatile pieces, like well-fitted jeans paired with a chic top or a casual dress with subtle accessories, ensures you feel confident while remaining true to your personal style. Footwear and small details, such as a favorite necklace or a light jacket, can enhance the overall look without appearing overdone. The goal is to feel relaxed and approachable, allowing conversation and chemistry to flow naturally while reflecting individuality and attention to detail.

Ultimately, the key to dressing for a casual first date is authenticity and self-expression. When a woman feels comfortable and confident in her outfit, it positively influences posture, body language, and interaction. Thoughtful, stylish choices create an atmosphere of ease, helping both partners feel connected and engaged. A well-selected outfit not only supports a relaxed and enjoyable first date but also leaves a lasting impression, demonstrating care, personality, and readiness for meaningful connection.
