Description:

Following the success of the FANTABULOUS HANDBAG SWAP and the FANTABULOUS HANDBAG SWAP number 2, and number 3, back by popular demand..........here’s another opportunity to join in the fun! If you missed it the first, second or even third time round or just fancy another bag (and, tell me, who doesn’t?) then sign up for FANTABULOUS HANDBAG SWAP number 3! THE exciting, stunning, envious bag swap!

A swap where you you'll get assigned to just one partner and your simple task is to pull out all your delicious bag patterns and create the most perfect and beautiful handbag for your swap mate.

You need check your partner's profile to enable you to create the best fit for them in terms of colour and bag type (they may need a tote or a smaller purse) but get your creativity hats on and make something stunning!

In the UK, a handbag is just a bag that you can use! It's up to you to check with your partner to see what they need.

So get cracking!!! This is an international swap but I figure the postage wont be too high as handbags are light.

May I add, newbies are welcome (we were all new once) but PM me first as you must complete your profile prior to signing up. You must have an impeccable record or a good argument as I will not tolerate flakers! It's just not fair! I reserve the right to knock you off this swap if your history is dodgy. Please PM me if you’re unsure. Here’s to another fab swap! Happy swapping : )

@Vendetti , of course you can crochet a bag - personally I'd love a crocheted bag!

@evitake - join in the fun, I'm sure you'll create something stunning - or you can purchase a handmade bag!

@slewis234 "get a tote bag from a local craft store and decorate it. or you can find a good conditioin one at a thrift store and repurpose it, decorate it. etc." Great idea! I'm a bit worried about my sewing skills, haha.

HGoodbrad 07/31/2010 #

YEAH!! I need a new handbag that is cool!!

joolliee 08/ 3/2010 #

I'm going to give sewing one a try, but it will be my first attempt - i have patterns and a machine, so we'll see what happens!

QtPie 08/ 3/2010 #

I would love to join but I cant do much right now cause I got broken finger and it restricts me from doing alot so I hope you do this one again cause I have made some cute handbags for my nieces before..

katiewoo 08/ 4/2010 #

Qtpie, we will most certainly be running another Fantabulous Handbag Swap, so join in when you are all better! My wishes for a speedy recovery! Kate

katiewoo 08/ 7/2010 #

Just one more sleep before I assign partners, so if you're watching sign up soon! The rest of you - thanks for ticking the box and not long now!!! Kate

I really like this swap, and I can't wait to see what the results will be. Yesterday I started with my bag, I really hope It's gonna look good... And that the one receiving will like it... !

katiewoo 08/10/2010 #

I'm sure they will! I have to warn you once you start making bags they become an addiction!

On one of the previous Fantabulous Handbag Swaps participants left there 'loose' requests for bags here to give partners a clue. For example - 'I need a tote bag' or 'I could really use a messenger type bag' and 'I really don't mind but would prefer not to have pastels', etc. While I appreciate that some of you will be well on with your bag making by now and ultimately it is sender's choice, it might be useful.

If my partner is interested I don't especially mind but don't like anything too fussy!

Bloempje666 08/10/2010 #

Good Idea! Maybe someone isn't shure what to make, and this could be helpfull!

Okay for my partner: Well, i like all kind of bags, so if you are allready started, it's okay. But if i may choose, i'd prefer a shoulder bag. :)

Bloempje666 08/13/2010 #

Well, I finished mine. On monday he will be on his way...

katiewoo 08/15/2010 #

Well done @Bloempje666 I'm sure your partner will really appreciate it!
