I AM AWAY FROM MY APARTMENT FROM FEB 20 - TO MAR 9. Thus I will be unable to rate received swaps until I am back. I will still be able to send out swaps. :)
My name is Colleen and I am a 21 year old, fashion design student from London, Ontario.
I love to sew and create and work with my hands. I have various hobbies and interests such as retro gaming/collecting, books (particularly historical fiction and every copy/version of Alice in Wonderland I can get my hands on), sewing and crafting, baking (although my current apartment doesn't allow for much of that!) and other fun activities.
I have been a member of Scouts Canada in both a volunteer position and a participant for the last 17 years and love to canoe, kayak and camp throughout the year.
I'm a fan of many styles and art forms, and love receiving things with a personal touch. I'm big into vintage living and love paper goodies from any era.
Sewing Supplies (scraps, thread, buttons, patterns, lace, ribbons)
I am sewing on a industrial machine for the most part so metal bobbins only please.
Please no men's patterns (unless vintage/unique), otherwise, I accept any and all patterns although I prefer vintage/craft patterns especially vintage children's patterns and unique patterns.
I love to quilt and would love to receive block patterns or ideas.
I also sew historically with a focus on corsetry so anything pertaining to that would be a bonus.
My measurements are currently 35-29-38, but I am in the process of waist-training to a 24 inch waist, so things that are a little smaller in the waist are okay.
My style is closest to the 'gothabilly' trend. I am a 'grown-up' goth so nothing that your fourteen year old self would wear, aha. I tend to buy retro items as well as gothic items so I have a fairly good mix of things in wardrobe. I typically wear black, darker reds (think oxblood/maroon), jewel tones, eggplant, emerald, or pastels. I can't always wear white (because I'm a toddler in that sense and always ruin it!) but it's always good to have. I like things with frills and girly aspects and things that will flatter a figure, so nothing really boxy.
-Scouting Memorabilia (paper, patches, woggles)
-Treats
I am a vegetarian, but I have a sibling who loves meat. I do not mind if non-vegetarian items are sent but please do not make it the bulk of the surprise.
-Religious Items
I am a practicing Pagan, but I love learning about other religions and their influence on other people daily life.
- I love iconography, medals, talismans - I don't mind Bible verses or quotes, but I ask that you also explain what the verse/passage means to you as well.
Occult items are also good in my book! I love all things spooky~
