Any thing relating to, or celebrating our figures is encouraged.

Oh I LOVE this idea! Its so unfair that most cute things are for the skinny minis.

[theatreorchid]

Ooh, what a great idea!  I'm not so great at making things without a body to try them on, though.     I'll have to give this some thought, I may be back.

[margiej]

Oh I am so GLAD to see this swap come up!  I've been so bored lately!  I have even made myself a couple of clothing items out of boredom and I NEVER sew for myself normally!   

[margiej]

Okay, I sent in my questionnaire!  I am excited about this swap, and really want to get a very talkative partner! 

[MizzKodak]
