** EDITED TO ADD: BEGINNING AND ADVANCED TOY CREATORS WELCOME, just keep in mind your partner might be a beginner. :)

Hi all! I've been making toys for a few years now. Amigurumi,little stuffed aliens, dolls,and anything else my imagination thinks up. I'm still a beginner as I tend to have my own weird way of stitching things together that probably wouldn't be considered "proper" in sewing circles.

I'm trying my hand at mini toys now. Things 4 inches and under. So who would like to join me in trying to make something really small and adorable?

You will have one partner so that you can put your heart and soul into making something special and nice for them.

Materials optional to the creator: felt, cotton,burlap,silks, whatever you'd like to use. Please check your partner's profile for allergies and dislikes. Let's be kind to our partners and not send them creepy clowns if they have a mean dislike for them. That's just common sense :)

Size: 4 inches or smaller

theme: up to you, but you can put a few ideas in the comments below. Know that your suggestions might no be used as the item made will be determined by the creator. However, your suggestions might just inspire a little creative kick.

When rating please keep in mind that this is for beginners. It's the attempt and sending on time that is most important, not "perfection" in the sewing skills.

This is newbie friendly as long as you have 2 rated mailed swaps: no email or online swaps please. Oldbies are asked to have a 4.8 and no no sends in the last 4 months. I'm open to discussion if you think you've been rated unfairly and would like to plead your case.

Do I have to be a beginner to sign up? I've been sewing for a long time, but I'd really like to see what other people are starting with!

Is this supposed to be sewn, or can it be an amigurumi(crocheted)?

This is for a sewn toy, but you can come and join my amigurumi swap! :) http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/19950

You don't have to be a beginner, but keep in mind that you're partner might be :)

I know what you mean about having your own way of stitching things. I've been sewing since I was about 5 but I don't like to stick to the rules!

Rules Schmoooles :) That's what I say...if it holds and it looks good...why the heck not :)

I'm so excited to find this swap! I've been wanting to try and make one of these but I don't want to dissapoint my partner. Thanks for putting something beginner-friendly together.
