\"Fun

It's National Sewing Month again and time to celebrate our love of sewing. \u00a0One way is to introduce new people to sewing, try out new things or make new sewing friends and connections. \u00a0(Or win great prizes – don't forget to enter the BIG giveaway<\/a>\u00a0running the whole of September!)<\/p>\n

Our sewing chat group<\/a> decided they would love to run a ‘Sewing Swap'. This was new to me, not something I've ever participated in before, let alone organised, so we had a survey about how it should run and what sort of things should be swapped. \u00a0The votes are all in and counted, and I'm delighted to announce the first ever So Sew Easy Sewing SWAP will be running this month.<\/p>\n

What is a Sewing Swap?<\/h2>\n

\"Swap

In a nutshell, in a sewing swap, everyone who signs up to take part sews an item from a pre-agreed list of swap items and then sends it in the mail, as a gift to their swap partner. \u00a0In return, they also receive a parcel in the mail with an item someone has sewn for them.<\/p>\n

What are we going to swap?<\/h2>\n
