Thank you to @ninou for pointing us to the tutorial for these adorable fabric house ornaments! This swap series has been a great success in the Nuts for Sewing group and this one, #8, will take us through the end of 2012. I love these little houses!
We will all follow this tutorial to make one fabric house ornament for our partners:
Fabric House Ornament Tutorial
For this swap, we will use WINTER COLORS and patterns. This is NOT Christmas but winter. So think of snowmen, snow drifts, ice, and primarily white, blues, blue-grays, and silvers like this color palette. A touch of red could be a pretty accent color. For the main body of the house, please keep the linen look (as in the pattern) by using linen, linen blend, or Osnaburg fabric. You may keep the little bird (as in the pattern) or replace it with another design. I received one with beautiful flowers from a partner. Something winter-related (but not Christmasy) would be a thoughtful addition this month. As long as there is something in that space, we will leave that up to your creative whim. While our skill levels are all different, please do your best to follow the tutorial, choose cute fabrics, and do good quality work. Using scraps from previous projects is fine, but please use only good quality ones with nice, appropriately-themed patterns; this isn't the time to destash your ugly fabrics! ;-) There is lots of time to try out the pattern before partners are assigned to make sure it's a project you're comfortable with. This is not a profile-specific swap, so you can get started on it at any time. Be sure to include the swap name and your Swap-bot name in the package for ease in rating. Sending on time is considered part of the swap requirements. In the rare circumstance that you must send a little late, please contact your partner and the swap coordinator before the deadline has passed.
Participant Requirements
This swap is for those with a minimum of 10 completed/rated Type 3 (package/craft) swaps that include a significant crafting portion. Prior to assigning partners, I will check last log-in date, current swaps (to make sure there aren't any overdue), and ratings (no unexplained/unresolved 1s or 3s). Please PM me with any questions or concerns.
Happy sewing!!!
