Here are some new lavender babies that I have made for the Sweat Shop Swap.  They are made with felt and stuffed with lavender and polyfil. 
 

The green dino is my favorite.  Which is your favorite?

Anyone up for organizing another round of the childrens scavenger hunt swap.  I would be down for participating and possibly co-organizing.

Here are some stuffies that I made.  They are stuffed with polyfil and lavender and their bodies are made from upcycled materials.

 


 

This is Agnus.  I made her sometime in the fall.  

 
I started with her face, using a wool/rayon blend felt.

 
Her body is made of cotton fabric.  

 
I  just knew that she couldn't run around naked, so I added this crude sweater that I made from... A sweater.
  
Thanks for looking!
 

 

Hello fellow craftsters!  An angel is needed for CptnDenim.  She should have had her hoodie over a month ago so if you volunteer please be sure that you can get her package out in 2 weeks.  You will have to provide a hoodie.

Also---once you have received your amazing hoodie you MUST send the organizer a note that you received, a THANK YOU to your partner, and publically let everyone know that you received in the gallery.  
Iron-ons must be sewn on.  It's not fair to send something that isn't going to hold together in the wash and this is typically the case with iron-ons.  Please keep iron-ons minimal.

Our gallery of insane hoodies: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=392742.0

Someone(not mentioning any names) claimed me for burlap fabric in the ows and when asked how much I needed I told her as much as she was willing to send because I was going to make burlap aprons with whatever she sent.  And her response was basically that burlap is unsuitable for garments and blah, blah, blah!!! LOL  This is the second time in the past month that someone has told me a certain fiber was unsuitable for garments(the first was for a cotton knit hat).  Burlap is perfect for aprons!!  It is durable, has a wonderful texture and just looks cool.  And all of the aprons that I make with burlap are lined with cotton so the itchy burlap doesn't touch the skin.  I made these burlap aprons for my friend's coffee house and they receive compliments on a regular basis so I thought I would make more for upcoming holiday bazaars. 






And they look even cuter on the girls at the coffee house than they do on Dress Form Donna;)  Thanks for looking!!

I really didn't think we would have any flakers for this swap but we have one person who hasn't sent(send-outs were oct. 16th) and isn't communicating.  If anyone is willing to help out please contact me through a pm and I will give you clumsy_momma's info. 

Find details of swap here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=357277.0
If you don't have children to send artwork made by them you can fill the 8th category with something else or just send the other 7. 

Thanks!!
