Tote Bag Swap

Craft swaps are a great way to make something different, try a new technique, and be part of our crafting community.  What I love about swaps are that you get the chance to see someone elses work and see how they made the same craft as you.

This time around we are swapping tote bags.  Below are links to several sites with directions or tutorials on how to make different types of tote bags.  Choose any or all or make up your own - whatever suits your fancy.  All bags will be shipped to me and I will swap and ship different ones back to you.

• Craftster – Reversable Tote Bag
• Tiny Happy – Shoulder Bag
• Mama’s Pocketbook – Pink October Basic Tote Bag
• DIY Bag Patterns – Rag Bag Tote Bag
• Sew Mama Sew – Classic Tote Bag
• Got Fabric – 6 Pocket Tote Bag

Here are the RULES:

1. Send me an email, bryelynn@sewstitchcreate.com telling me that you want to participate.  I will respond with my mailing address.
2. Make at least one tote bag.  You can make as many as you wish, but we this swap is so new and we have so few participants, I recommend not doing more than three. 
3. Fabric used to make the bags must be of good quality.  There are no restrictions on color or fabric design.
4. The size of the tote bag must be larger than 12″ but smaller than 21″ wide.
5. Mail the tote bag(s) to me with a self address stamped return envelope.  The weight for postage of the return envelope should be the same or close to the one you shipped to me.
6. I must recieve the bag(s) no later than May 24, 2010.
7. I will swap out the bag(s) with other crafters bag(s), returning to you the same number of bags you shipped. I will try to match the sizes so you get a bag close to the same size you sent 
8. I will ship out no later than May29, 2010.
