Here a a challenge for you!

This really isn't a project for non sewers, but everyone is welcome as long as you meet the requirements. If you read my profile - I am not much on paper crafts - but love using fabric.

Make 2 - 2.5"x3.5" ATCs using Fabric or fibers as a base - front and back. NO paper, cardstock, playing cards, paper stickers allowed. Starch the fabric or use batting, heavy stabilizer, timtex/peltex, fusible webbing - whatever you want so it is not floppy.

You can use glue, sewing machine, hand sew, quilt or iron it together.

Use any kind of embellishments such as beads, embroidery, embossing powder, eyelets, ribbons, yarn, fibers, buttons, charms or whatever you want to spruce it up.

The edges should always looks nice. Sew a satin or decorative stitch or use floss, heavy threads, yarn and whip stitch.

Use any pen to write your info on the back.

See my website and go to the ATCs for examples - All my ATCs are fabric and embellished. http://community.webshots.com/user/Magsite

No theme necessary and no paper! Sender's choice.

2 Partners - 1 ATC to each partner.

Extra ATCs or embellishments to your partner should deserve a heart.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Newbies are welcome with a very filled out profile and everyone else no less than a 4.8 rating with a very good reason for 1s or 3s.

Now go create a lovely piece of fabric art!

Why not make this international? Shipping is not that much!

SecretSheep 07/17/2009 #

Yes, international please!

Maggles45 07/17/2009 #

OK falks-you are right - I just changed it to international. I don't know what I was thinking - LOL

Maggles45 07/17/2009 #

Whoops - I can't spell "folks" either - It's only 8 AM - gotta go get that 1st cup of coffee.

This will be a lovely swap. I am putting it on a watch so that i can figure out how to use my sewing machine!

Carolyne 07/18/2009 #

Great idea.

Maggles45 07/25/2009 #

Remember - this is a sender's choice - I love surprises and sure other's do to - I actually find it harder to create a theme with colors someone else likes. You can be making them now - that's 3 wks from the mail by date.

Maggles45 07/26/2009 #

I meant you have about 3 wks left until the "send by" date. Plenty of time to create your ATCs.
