Description:

Who wants softies!?!?!? :] If you dont know what a softie is ~ it's basically a little handsewn stuffed animal/object. Google it and you will be able to find some tutorials and inspiration. I want this to be a fun swap, not alot of work. I created this swap now so people could get started early if they would like and to spread the word!!!

For this swap I would like everyone to have 5 partners and send 1 softie to each partner. However if I get alot of feedback that 5 is too many partners I will change it OR if I dont have a big enough time slot than the one I have set up I will gladly change and extend.

The softie is senders choice, using felt, fabric or crocheting, but it is nice to check profiles for like fav colors or something. The softies have to at least be around 3 inchies ( I understand its easier to make more when they are smaller ) But it can be as big as you want to make it! ;) Use your imagination: Monsters, robots, objects, animals, food, etc...

This is USA only due to shipping costs. No newbies. No recent 1's or 3's either. I will be checking profiles! Please feel free to comment or send me a message! AND I will be assigning partners no matter what!

Make sure to add a note with your softie saying the name of swap and your username! If this is well liked I will gladly host another one, theme-based! :]

Could we crochet them? AnD I oh-so-hope you do another one of these when I'm no longer a newbie so I can join!

Waching for now..How many swaps are we supposed to have under our belt??. I might have enough by the time this swap is up and running..

jessicak13 01/25/2010 #

@Vendetti - Yes crocheting them is fine, I'll have to add that edit. I would gladly host more later! :]

@mizrose03 - Im gonna say just join now, because Im sure you will have enough by the sign-up date! :]

Hello, I won't enter this swap but I'd like to see one with larger softies....like about 12 inches or larger..with maybe just one or two partners. Does it happen? ...just learning.. cool swap!

jessicak13 01/26/2010 #

@yarnmamma - Yes I will gladly host a second swap after this one with bigger softies and less partners! Thank you for your request & I will get ahold of you when I do! :]

I'm watching! It's very tempting. 5 seems like a lot, but then I think, I'll get 5 new softies to add to my collection! LOL!

FOOF4E 01/30/2010 #

5 is a bit much for me, am still thinking about it though.

Moontear28 02/ 2/2010 #

Watching for now. 5 seems like a lot to me too. I might start now :)

BeckyKay 02/ 3/2010 #

All right! Can't stop thinking about all those stuffies! I'm IN!

coyotter 02/ 4/2010 #

I don't have a lot of swaps under my belt on this site, but I've linked to my old Nervousness profile (through the wayback machine, since the main Nness site never recovered). I've made and swapped many softies, so I hope you'll let me in :)

jessicak13 02/ 4/2010 #

UPDATE: Im sorry to everyone who expressed their concern for 5 being too much for them. As of right now I have 11 people in the swap who are willing to do 5 partners, so it looks like I wont be lowering it. However if the number drops considerably I will still gladly lower the number (Its not totally out of the question) Please understand I gave such a BIG time-span so you could start right away & the softies are to be small. AND like I commented earlier when this swap is done I will gladly host another one will lesser partners, so if you dont want to join this time you can catch the next one! Thanks! ~Jessica :]

Watching!!!

I signed up and have cut out and glued all 5 plus 1 for me, today! All I have to do now is all of the detailed sewing and I can have them out the door in time. Come on everyone, you can do this! Do each step 5 times and then move onto the next one. It makes it so much more easier that way!

mommascrapbooks 02/10/2010 #

BYW, is anyone planning on making the tree in the picture on this swap? It just makes me want one soooo much!!! Mine are owls!

BeckyKay 02/10/2010 #

I've chosen my patterns. I'm kind of tempted to not do the same one for everyone. Just cause I can't make up my mind! :)

jessicak13 02/10/2010 #

You guys are awesome!!! ^_^ Thanks for joinging my swap!!! Im so excited!!!

aleshapie 02/11/2010 #

That tree is super super cute!! I am just watching for now... too much on my plate.

mommascrapbooks 02/11/2010 #

Done. It took all day but I finished 5 + one for me too! I can't wait to swap these little beauties!

kookie 02/16/2010 #

ooo so cute, i wish i could do this. but cant sew

rhonnifer 02/18/2010 #

Oh, I want to join!! I am a newbie here (just mailed out my first swap this morning) but I would LOVE to do this one! I've been totally hooked on making amigurumi lately! I'm watching for now... Think maybe I can get in on the fun?

rhonnifer 02/18/2010 #

I think I am going to go ahead and join and hope I don't get booted out for being too new! :)

rhonnifer 02/19/2010 #

I started making mine last night. I can send pics if you want. I promise my work is good and I won't flake!

user2637 02/22/2010 #

Okay... I joined. bite nails I've never made one of these before! 5 seems like a lot but I'm willing to give it a try. Does anyone have links for free patterns?? :)

rhonnifer 02/27/2010 #

I'm going to have to pull out of this one. :( A friend of mine has fallen ill and I will be taking care of her young children for the next few weeks, so I won't have much crochet time. But I will be keeping an eye out for future swaps and once things calm down I will be back!

user2637 03/27/2010 #

Just wanted to say that this swap was super fun for me to do! I tried new things and all my recipients were happy (5 hearts, woot!). I was leery about 5 partners, but it was a great experience. Thanks jessicak13 for hosting. :):)

coyotter 03/31/2010 #

I made... Jellyfish! My own pattern, if you can call an embellished half-circle a pattern :) Can't wait to see what else I get in the mail from this swap!
