Swap Shop 3rd June



The June 3rd Sewing Bee will be our yearly Swap Shop Day so come prepared to join in!

How It Works.

All fabric or other notions/wool etc that you might like to swap should be bundled in weighed sandwich bags. This helps us to 'even up' swaps between participants. Your sandwich bag should weigh around 100 g which equates to a little over half a metre of quilting weight fabric.

When you arrive at the Bee you can hand in your bags and exchange them for Swap Tokens - one per bag. You will use the token to 'buy' the Swap Pack that you want to take in exchange.

Your bag can contain a mixture of fabrics or a single larger piece - it's up to you. It can be fabric or other items such as ribbon, wool etc. It need not be standard sized pieces such as a fat quarter.

If you want to take more bags home than you bought it will be possible to buy additional tokens for £5 each as I am planning to bring lots of bags to swap and definitely DO NOT NEED any more fabric in return ( you know that is not what will really happen!!!) .

We will put all of the bags on the middle table by 10am then ....ready....steady......swap!
