PLEASE READ: I am really quite ill at the moment and have gone back to my parents (i am normally at uni) I am trying to get items sent out as soon as possible, please bare with me. I am really sorry for the delay. Hopefully I will get better soon and swaps will be with you even sooner xxx

If you love to swap FABRIC, check out our new group on Flickr, we have a swap every month!: http://www.flickr.com/groups/fsboonbags/

just send me a note on here or flickr and I will send you an invite ^_^

PlEASE don't look at my flickr photos if I am sending you a swap because photos of them will most probably be up there before I send them!!!

I am 20 years old, I am a student studying visual communication (illustration and graphic design) in the south of the UK and I LOVE fabric, beads and buttons!

If you are sending me a swap and you are from a country other than the UK, could you pleeeease add a bit of your country into it? I really love learning about other countries cultures, fashions and traditions.. and would adore to recieve something little that I couldn't get in the UK, e.g. a japanise pop-up card or unusual buttons or fabric that is typical to your country. ^-^

I love the edge chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell... If I became even half as good at illustration as Chris Riddell, I'd die happy :)

Lost and Heroes! Love a bit of Casualty and Holby city! (but alas! can not get a tv signal where I am! not even on a freeview box)

Here we go :) I love allllll sorts... Sock Monkeys, Plushies (designs made mainly from felt) Patchwork Blankets and pillows Card and scrapbook making I LOVE BUTTONS AND BEADS! They are so useful for any craft... I personally love using them for jewlery and eyes for sock monkeys and Plushies...

I love anything bright. I love childrens illustration and I am forever making plushies, sock monkeys, pillows, quilts and other child-like objects. I am actually a student studying Visual Communication at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth (UK) which covers illustration and graphic design, and I am forever trying to find ways to bring textiles into my illustrations. I LOVE MUSHROOMS, STARS, HEARTS, POLKADOTS and STRAWBERRIES and anything bright and childish. I love japanese fabric, eg Hello Kitty.. because it is so hard to find in the Uk, especially Bournemouth! I am a bit of a vintage chic and also love my mustard yellows, deep greens and royal blues for jewlery and clothes-making. At the moment I really love BEADS and BUTTONS! The really childish ones of ducks and strawberries. They are so cute and beautiful for plushies and sock moneys, pillows and... well everything really! I wouldn't say I 'hate' but I really don't like fabric with realistic images on them.. eg, cats or dogs or people. I just love bright fabric I can make my own creations from :) I also love homemade jewelery or hair accessories :)
