Here are the SWAP rules for 2007
1. Fabric/pattern purchase minimum value of $25 Canadian to be made from Timmel
Fabrics between Nov. 1, 2006 and March 1, 2007. This fabric or pattern must be
featured as one item in the SWAP.
2. Each SWAP must consist of 11 garments. See below for descriptions.
3. A print, plaid, check, or stripe must be used for one of the garments. This
can be used in a top, or bottom, or even jacket, but it must coordinate with
the other pieces.
4. You are allowed to use one garment that you have purchased (i.e. not sewed).
5. All garments must be made between December 1/06 and April 1/07 with the
exception of one garment which could have been made previous to the time
period. You are also allowed to use one garment that has been purchased.
6. NEW for 2007 – One of the garments must be reversible. This
means that the garment can be worn on either side and both sides must
coordinate with the other pieces. This can be any of the 11 garments: make your
jacket reversible (which by the way gives you double the number of possible
combinations), make a top reversible, or a skirt or pants. The choice is yours.
There are lots of suggestions from those posting at Artisans' Square on how to
do this and making something reversible is a worthwhile technique to learn.
7. And you can have a choice of 2 SWAPs. The first one as in previous years: 11
garments, consisting of 4 bottoms (skirts and/or pants), 6 tops (2 should be
more like blouses than just tees), and 1 jacket that will work with all the
tops and bottoms. This gives you a total of 48 possible combinations.
The second SWAP is for those who prefer dresses over separates. This SWAP
should have 4 dresses, 2 jackets, 2 bottoms (skirts or pants), and 3 tops which
must match all the bottom pieces. Each jacket does not have to match
everything, but both should together work with every combination. This SWAP has
the potential of 20 possible combinations. In this SWAP, if your jacket is the
reversible item, its matching follows the same rules as previous: i.e. it
doesn't have to work with every item, but every combination should be able to
be put with a jacket in some way.
Don’t be intimidated by “jacket”. This can be as simple as an overshirt, a
cardigan, even a poncho or wrap of some type.
8. Photos can be emailed to mail@timmelfabrics.com or mailed to me at the
address below. The contest will close on April 8, 2007 and you have until April
15 to get your pictures to me. Voting will take place the week of April 17 –
23. Everyone who has posted on the topic at Artisan's Square is eligible to
vote, even if you did not participate in the SWAP. Everyone will have 3 votes.
You will choose three people and place them in the order you liked best. Your
first place choice will get 3 points, second place will get 2 points, and third
place will get 1 point. Winners will be selected by the number of points
received.
9. PRIZES: 1st place - $300 gift certificate to Timmel Fabrics for
fabrics/patterns.
2nd place - $200 gift certificate to Timmel Fabrics
3rd place - $100 gift certificate to Timmel Fabrics
4th and 5th place - $50 gift certificate
Everyone who finishes a SWAP and submits a picture or pictures will receive a
free pattern of their choice from any pattern that I carry.
Good luck and let the sewing begin!
