SGS - Pincushion Swap

CLICK JOIN SWAP TO PARTICIPATE. If you click "watch swap" you will NOT be participating.

We will be swapping pincushions!
Here are some pattern ideas:

• Scrappy Pincushion Tutorial
• Cube Pincushion
• Pin Sharpening Pincushion

You can use any pattern you'd like for a pincushion. Pincushions should be regular "tomato" size or larger. They can be square, round or other shapes. No mini pincushions please.

Fabric pincushions only

Pincushion example

Each swapper will have two partners so you will need to make two pincushions.

Fabric or Design: Read your partners profile for inspiration. If everyone lists their likes/dislikes in their profile this will make pin cushion designing much easier! Please make sure your profile is filled out. Things to include: color preferences, pattern preferences, things that inspire you, favorite fabric lines, etc.

Stuffing IMPORTANT - please do not use any nut shells for your stuffing. We do not want to have to worry about nut allergies.

Each package should include the following:

1. A completed pincushion

2. A nice new set of pins for the pincushion!

Pin sets: - please purchase a new set of pins that coordinate with the pincushion you're sending out. Check the comments here to see if your swap partner has a preference on the type. Avoid cheap pins (I.E.: Dritz) as they bend and are not made well since the coating on the pin itself flakes off.

You can also purchase decorative sets but please do not spend more than $5 for a pin set.

Minimum rating: 4.5. Make sure your profile is filled out completely. I will angel for anyone that doesn't receive a package. Failing to send a package will receive negative feedback on your rating. Please only sign up if you know you are going to follow through with this swap.

This is an international swap so be prepared to possibly have an international partner!
