Description:
Time for round two! This swap is for everyone who wants to try making fabric ATCs. If you've never made one before, great! If you've been making them for years, that's good too! Here is a tutorial that I wrote. It's good if you want to make the ATC by hand. Here is another wonderful tutorial. If you have access to a sewing machine, this is very helpful. Here is a third tutorial. Just in case the first two didn't inspire you. You will have one partner and you will make one fabric ATC. It can have any theme you choose. The only two rules are that the ATC must be made from fabric, and it must be the right size (2 Â½ X 3 Â½ inches (63 mm X 89 mm)). Since this is a beginners' swap, please be kind with your ratings. This swap is open to newbies. However, if you are new (fewer than 10 non-email swaps), please finish your ATC before joining the swap and send me a picture of it. That way I know it's done and ready to go! Any one with unexplained 1s or 3s, please message me before joining and explain. Any other questions, please message or ask below in the comments.

Emika I am so excited about this. Ever since you sent me my first fabric one I have been wanting to make one but to afraid to.

what if we dont have a camera to take a picture of it and we are new?

Emika 03/ 3/2011 #

@GaiaExist - maybe you could scan it? Or even a picture from a mobile phone would be good enough.

Hi Emika, I am new and would like to join the swap. It says "You do not meet the minimum rating requirement to join this swap..." Once I have made the ATC and sent you the picture, how can I join? Would you add me to the swap or...? Sorry, I don't really know how this works yet.

Hi sewpixelcute! I think the reason you can't join is because you haven't been rated yet. But I can see that you've already completed a couple of swaps, so hopefully your partners for those will receive and rate you soon!

Oh I see, Thanks for explaining it to me =] And yes, I can now see the "Join Swap" link.

I am at work and cannot see your tutorial for the ATC. Does it have a photo with it? I would love to do this, but have never done one before. I think I'll watch for now.
