SWAP (Sewing With a Plan) : 2004-current

[DementedFairy]

Good to hear from you @DementedFairy and sorry to learn that you”ve been poorly and hope you’re on the mend.

Feeling absolutely RUBBISH tbh, two weeks and counting now.  Dammit.  It's been a VERY long time since I last had flu, this could be another couple of weeks yet til I get my strength back.
Still wake up every day hoping to do some sewing lol

Hi all!  Just popped by to see if there's a SWAP planned for this year. Looks like there isn't?  I've enjoyed several of these, [including my fave- the steampunk one]

@DementedFairy - just popped in to say that I loved your steam punk SWAP - and it inspired me to dip the tinyest bit of the little toe into the steampunk pond - if acquiring steam punk buttons counts!

Are there many folks here that have competed or participated (a better word) in past SWAP's?

I have once.

I tried to compete in a competitive event on here but struggled (due to my ineptitude with all things technological!) to get the photos in the right place. 😒

If SWAP "comes here" and you decide to join in then maybe you could get some help on how to handle the picture side if you haven't already. I have struggled with uploading pics in the past (here) but I have posted so many now it seems old school LOL. My main problem is I make them too big~ oops.

I have never even got my pea brain to concentrate long enough to get a plan in place 
I work on urges.  One pops in my head and I have to make it.
I probably need to learn how to sew with a plan more than the average person!

Several @kowgiirl.up . I was the coordinator for one. I have a stack of plans, all still viable and mostly stuff I would still wear in the fabrics I have earmarked. I  might have finished a few garments but never came close to completing one.

Did you remember the 6PAC collections that Elizabeth spearheaded? I did finish one of those. 

I think my little project bins have the makings of at least a coordinated 6 PAC if not more already cut out and no sewing done yet. Sigh. Maybe this year...

Where you using the same user name on Stitchers as you use here?

Yeah evjc (might not be spelled right) was a whiz at putting together those 6PACs. I entered once and didn’t finish, I came close though.

I sew far more then I ever share online.

I do about 2 a year.  This year is weird in I am not sewing for the season next (I usually start on Fall/Winter now) but for the Spring/Summer with a particular wardrobe need.  I'll probably kick through one fast and then do an abbreviated one for fall.

I have actually started on a jacket with a vague plan to follow up with coordinating items, but my plans are generally quite loose and rarely are followed through.

Going to try better this time though!
