Sewing Accessories Swap, send by May 29

All you sewists, this swap is for YOU!

This GALLERY is for you too!!!

Let’s have fun crafting some sewing accessories for each other! Pincushions, needlebooks, scissors fobs, thread catchers, sewing caddies—we all love them, and we all want MORE! We will keep it small and easy: two points-worth of goodies is all you have to make—that’s two smalls (two hours or less to make each one) or one medium (around three hours to make one).
