Description:

I have seen these made on tv craft shows and have thought of making some, but just haven't. So naturally I thought how about a swap for them. They are soo pretty and can be set in or hung in china cabinets and such. I just love them.

For this swap I was thinking of making a Mini Pillow in the size of your choice starting from 4 inchies. That is, it can be four inches OR bigger. Does not have to be a 4 inch square.

It is such a lovely idea of adding beads to your Mini Pillow and even tassels. At least that is how I've seen them. If you want, you can add a mini pocket or even potpourri to them, but please be advised to ask your partner if they would mind or have any allergies first. Don't want anyone bummed finding out that their swap packages turned out to be something they were allergic to.

The theme will be "Senders Choice", I think this is pretty good. It will give us all a good change to get a good feel on this kind of swap. No pressure or worries :O)

So, we will all have 1 (one) partner for this swap. If you feel pretty good about it and have the funds, you can send alittle something to spice up the package. But this as you all know is entirely up to you and is NOT a requirement. So please do not let yourself feel guilty if you are not able to send extras. Who knows, I myself may not be able to at the time this swap is due.

So please, everyone.....just have fun, enjoy yourselves and learn something new, like I will be as I may be dragging out my sewing machine, lol.

Newbies are welcome with a complete profile, no 3's or 1's. 4.9 Rating and No no-sends. Please at least 5 real mail package swaps completed.

Cute idea! Watching for now.

Can it be anything or must it be cotton only?

I didn't think of that sorry. I don't want anyone to have to make any special trips so you can use any type of material. Even if it's a shirt, skirt or what ever. As long as it's in good shape of course. If there is anything else I may have missed please let me know. :O)

Love this idea. I can be creative on a small scale and not have to worry about shipping as it won't break in transit! I'm doing this one! Great way to use up little bits of stuff also.

I'll be watching this for now. I want to see about getting a sewing machine that I've been meaning to get for a LONG time now. -_- It just makes for a better pillow... at least based on my hand-sewing skills (or lack thereof). =P I love making pillows though! And this is just adorable! I will really really try to join at a later date. =D

I'm alittle afraid of my sewing machine, lol. I still need to get it back out in the open, I only know the basics. Wish I could teach myself the more fancier things to sew. Maybe in time, lol. This is a first for me too. Feel free to join if you can :O)

Yeah I was afraid of sewing machines at first. hahaha. I've only used my friend's sewing machine a long time ago, but we made pillows. It's simple but LOTS of fun 'cause you can be so creative! =D I'm still trying to get a sewing machine, so I still have this on watch for now. I can hopefully get a sewing machine by the end of this month so I can sign up for this for real! =P

either way, you can sign up if you want. some may like to hand sew, does not make a difference :O Good luck on your sewing machine search.

Autumn, have you received my pillow? I've messaged you a few times now but I haven't gotten a rating.
