Bag swap!

Partners posted!!

PARTNERS:
Cassie B and Pamela (you two were the only two not from UK! So you were partnered on location not bag)
Julie G & Nikki H
3-way:
Claire sends to Siobhan R
Siobhan R sends to Bindiibabe
Bindiibabe sends to Claire A

Let me or your partner know if there are any problems. Don’t forget to communicate and swap addresses!

Send out date: Monday 26th September

This is my first time hosting a swap so please tell me if I have forgotten anything.

Details: you make a bag for your partner. You sign up, say what type and size of bag/purse that you would like to receive, and what size/type you are willing to make. People will be partnered with someone doing the same size/cost of bag.

As said by Pammerz:
As a general rule to keep in mind for all of us swapping...
If your requesting a bag that needs 2yds of satin and lots of work, please don't send your partner a tiny felt tea pouch.

Be equal with your skill level <3 and cost of supplies.

Sign up deadline: Monday 12th September
Send out date: Monday 26th September

**You have to have completed the newbie vs vet swap**

Size of bag wanted: big enough to cart stuff around in <3
Type of bag wanted: not too keen on clutch-type bags.
Tote-type sized bag with shoulder straps for daytime (worn on left shoulder) preferably able to be closed over (zip, press studs, buckle etc) and with some pocketyness, small-medium size (i.e. room for phone money lipgloss, possibly squeeze in my little folding flatties for postdancing achey feet) with LONG crossbody strap for evening (or daytime!!)
You're making me a one-off design - feel free to be as creative as you like <3 (I wear Irregular Choice shoes, I can handle a bit of kooky!)
Willing to make: I'll give anything a go! ;D
Location: Dundee, Scotland
International shipping?: If neccessary
Any other relevant info: My likes and dislikes are on my profile - have a browse - I'm sure you'll get lots of ideas Happy

Name: Pamela
Size of bag wanted: Any

Type of bag wanted: I really like reuseable shopping bag or totes (if they fold up some how to fit in my purse thats even better!)
I also like zippered pouches for make up and jewelry
If your really adventurous I really need a new purse, I like nutral colors that go with anything, black, brown, tan. Besides that it can be a cross body strap style, long or short handles. Just not a clutch Happy

Willing to make: I am willing to make anything you want! As long as it isnt at an expert level! Lol I am a great sewer, but dont expect me to make a Leather Chanel purse for you. I have recently made some for other swaps and they turned out awesome! Check out my projects to see them (my fav so far is on its way to angle eve, so it isnt posted yet, but it will be by the time this swap gets going)

Location: Hawaii, USA
International shipping?: Sure Happy
Any other relevant info: Def check out my profile for great things I've made and also for a huge list of likes/dislikes <3

Nikki I think this is a great idea! I just finished Angle Eve's corset purse and it made me want to make tonz more bags!! And I think this should be a one-on-one partner swap. That way you as the hostess can pair people with who you think is best, depending on thier wants and skills Happy I am super excited to make something awesome for my partner!!!

When Claire said "I also like long straps that go across my body ( as in strap on my right shoulder, bag on my left hip). " thats what I meant, except I dont think i explained it very well. I need a longer strap than regular - it has to cover a lot of ground in a certain area...ahem

the same goes for me lol, I couldn't think how to say it Tongue
also this is going to sound fussy but if someone makes me a bag that sits on left shoulder and right hip and is closed by a zip can the zip sit so when it is closed it is on the right of the bag when u look at it.

haha, we're all a bit picky!! At least it's not just me! ;) Not sure if it'll make much difference, but i'm left handed so can only wear my bag on my left shoulder, falls off when i try wearing one on the right one!

Hey, I'm a lefty too and I also find it more comfortable to wear a bag on my left shoulder! Wonder if it's the same for everyone?
