Sign up for the Pleated Beauty Bag Swap will end at 11:59 pm (Eastern Time) on Monday, March 31. If all goes well, I should be able to e-mail the swapping partners by April 2.The lowdown
~Sign up by sending me an e-mail to jimmydogbrand(at)aol(dot)com. Include your:

~Each swapper will make a Pleated Beauty Bag for the swapper whose info is e-mailed to them. Send the bag and a recipe for your favorite springtime dessert no later than Saturday, May 3. Who doesn't love dessert?
~Then, you’ll get a Pleated Beauty Bag (and dessert recipe) from a different swapper. That way we can also…
~Post a picture of your bag(s) on the Bend-the-Rules Sewing Flickr group. Just tag your photo with BTRSswap. Keep it all one word for easy tagging.
~Love your bag and take it everywhere like I do! The beach, the park, the farmer's market, work, knitting meet-ups...everywhere!
If you have a blog and would like to get the word out about the swap, I think this button will work if you copy and paste it. If not, let me know:

I'm definitely up for this. I'm using swaps to get motivated to break out of my sewing rut. I'd love to put the button on my blog but I can't quite figure out how. I'm on Typepad. If anyone knows how to put the button up, please let me know. Thanks!
This sounds like fun! I would love to join...
Hello! I sent an email this w/e with my info to sign up - please let me know if you didn't receive it. Also... can you add to my likes list that I like fabric w/ birds on it? Thanks! ~ Kris
I love your idea, but I can't face to remake the bag again, as it took me so long!!! Due to my inexperience. It is though a great bag, and what a cool thing to swap. All I'd say is check out the errors in the pattern on the flickr group, to avoid thinking "what the?". If measuring in cm some measurements aren't right, go with the inches. Best of luck to all the swappers. If you do a simpler project next, I'll sign up!!! Thank you for your kind comments on my blog!
Good point...if you haven't made this bag before, check out the errata info on the discussion of the flickr pool. Also head on over there for great design/fabric ideas.
I can't get a link in this post so copy and paste this: http://www.flickr.com/groups/340229@N25/discuss/72157601678980590/
I will also look up the corrections and make sure to post them on the blog. It will probably happen just after I send the partner info. =]
bummer I found out about this too late!! When will the next swap be?
