I joined an exchange for the first time – I hadn’t touched my sewing machine in almost 4 years, and I found it a struggle I’ll be honest. Then when I was made redundant in the last month of prepping for the exchange I just didn’t have the headspace available to finish the last couple of homemade gifts that I wanted to include. I’m still proud of what I managed to achieve, but it wasn’t the exchange gift I wanted to send. I may still complete the remaining two items in the new year and send on to my recipient, though.
These are photos of what I sent to my exchange partner – the criteria was to send something in each of the following 5 categories/themes:
- Something special for the recipient
- A small doily or table runner
- Something for the sewing room
- A Christmas ornament
- Something to eat
