A couple of weeks ago I decided to join The Sew Weekly Reunion. Great was my surprise that there was also going to be a Pattern and Notions Swap. I registered just in the nick of time.
I was really excited and a bit scared at the same time to get the name of the person I was supposed to send a parcel to: Adey Lim. I mean, seriously, what can a humble seamstress like myself send to this sewing Wonder Woman? I don't really have a lot of vintage patterns and neither do I have a whole stash of vintage notions.... So, I sent her a modern pattern and some modern notions with a vintage touch. I hope she likes what I chose for her. Lesson learned: it's really hard to chose something for someone else!
When I came back from holiday, a surprise parcel was waiting for me. I opened it as soon as I laid hands on it and found these wonderful goodies (I especially love the buttons with the flowers on them):
Yes, the little bag with the pink bow are really sweets and I love them!
I also received an e-mail from Mary with some lovely pdf patterns (some of which I had been eyeballing for some time!).
In the meantime I'm getting ready to make something for The Sew Weekly Reunion. I've already made a test version, which turned out all right (I'll blog about it soon). I can't wait to finish it and show you all!

Hi, Eline, I'm so glad it got there ok! Happy sewing! :)
Hi Eline!
I LOVE everything you sent me. Thank you so much! The bias tapes and buttons are the prettiest I've ever seen!
Can't wait to see your creation for the challenge!
Adey
