Spring Sewing Swap - Post Your Links

Hello Swappers

By now you should hopefully have received your swap parcel from your partner. I received mine from Krafty Kat this weekend and here's what I got:

Prettily wrapped

 Cats investigating the contents

Pretty brooch and handmade stitch markers (Did you make these yourself Kat?)

 
















A big length of the most gorgeously soft knit fabric in a lovely raspberry shade. I'm thinking a wrap cardigan or maybe a dress. Also some lovely blue wool, perfect for baby knitting.

Thanks Kat! I love it.

Now you can all add links below to your blog if you have posted about the swap. I'm very nosey so I love to see what everyone got!

    I must have been asleep at the wheel or something because I forgot all about this swap and didn't remember to sign up! But it's almost as fun to see you guys revealing your parcels!

    Thank you for hosting and organising such a great (and international) swap. As a first timer I loved discovering other's blogs and also getting to know my well-matched swap partner Tine a little. Now to get making!

    I really enjoyed this swap, I thought the best bit was giving as I really enjoyed putting things together for Kathryn, but I was blown away when I received her parcel! Thanks so much for organising x

    Thanks, Kerry, for organizing this swap! I had a lot of fun shopping for someone else -- and for sewing stuff, no less! :)

    I agree the giving is definitely the fun part and the receiving is just a bonus. I can't wait to do it again.

    Thanks so much for putting on this swap! It was so much fun and almost a little eerie how well matched Hannah and I were.
    I've finally blogged my parcel at http://www.laurasinclair.com.au/2013/06/27/the-spring-sewing-swap/

    The easiest is always the best. So I came up with this simple shirt, to make it you will need a yard (1 meter) of fabric, matching bias and one of your shirt as pattern. learn more
