Description:

Hello fine people of Amberleigh! I know we are all busy working on our offerings for the Annual Fete, but in the meantime Iā€™m hoping youā€™ll indulge me in a bit of fun.

I was trying to create a sewn or embroidered piece as an entry and everything seemed to not want to cooperate! My thread tangled, my fabric frayed, I even stabbed myself - twice! For this swap Iā€™d like you to create something for your partnerā€™s journal that is perfectly imperfect. Even a right mess! As long as it has some kind of stitching on it. (machine, hand, embroidery, thread, your choice!)

You could make a simple tag, a small notebook, or a journaling card. You could make something entirely from fabric, or just include a small little snippet on a paper project. Whatever you dream up is fine, just be sure it includes sewing in some manner.

Along with this fun little offering, include a note to your partner about something youā€™ve tried to do that just went wrong. Your story can be real or fictional. In your characterā€™s voice would be the preference, but not mandatory.

Hope this is something you might enjoy. If you have any questions please let us know! - Anna, Jane, and Nickalli

My machine is the only way I can sew and the only way I will sew, lol!!

Nickalli/Leandrea - this sounds such a fun swap indeed. You know I am always up for hand stitching something or other! Even though I vowed I wouldn't join any more swaps this month, how can I refuse! haha

@MuggleMom machine is definitely an option! I know mine elicits many off-colored remarks in this house!! šŸ˜‚ @Star7lLily Iā€™d say Iā€™m sorry to tempt you ā€œsewā€ - but Iā€™m not. Hope you have fun with this one!
