MINE on photography books.

OFFER

(Note on items where you choose the fabric, I will do my best to get fabrics that you like but it appears all of my local places have raised prices from under $5 to over $10 a yard so I do not have as many options for the super cute trendy patterns that just came out. I am happy to sew anything where you provide materials.)

Children's print cotton fabric. Roughly 4 yards, 1 foot of the larger pattern and 3 yards 2 feet of the smaller pattern.

OR

Handmade, one thick oven mitt and one square hot pad with finger guard (not pictured)

OR

Handmade, one half apron, unlined.
Made to your size. If you are not an apron aficionado, big girls and little girls don't seem to fit most standard aprons.
For children's only, tutu ruffled or plain. Children's can be full or half apron.

OR

One handcut silhouette of one character. (see below) Archival paper, unframed. Done in the style of Budd Jack. Not copied from computer or edited. This is an actual hand cut piece. I make at least two practice cuts and then cut the final piece with surgical scissors. Since I do not work the carnival circuit cranking out hundreds a day as they did in the 1950s I take my sweet time. Will ship within 4 days of receiving images. I will need a fairly decent photo of your character at close to the correct angle that you'd like to see. I can cut a person, animal, building, vehicle, just ask. From a classically trained artist. Choose two colors.

OR

Handmade, one cloth clothes pin bag or hanging organizer, lined or heavy weight fabric. (see below) The inside support hanger is made with a leftover piece of wood from my coop construction. I try to be nice to the environment like that. Choice of fabric from what I have. Roughly 16 inches tall, 6 inches wide, holds a lot! Includes a set of new matching pins.

OR

Handmade, two cloth shopping bags, lined. Similar in shape to Target's bags.

OR

You send fabric (thread and notions provided) for your project. Up to one reasonable half day's worth of sewing. Example - hem 3-5 pants or skirts, shorten 4 curtains, sew 2 tab top or other simple curtains, sew 4 fitted diapers or 20 flat diapers, replace two zippers.

Or plants! I would suggest these be potted and brought in in the winter for most of you. Four plants, your choice. break out the google as I have no pictures:
Wedelia - commonly used as groundcover, has pretty yellow flowers. Very invasive here.
Elephant Ears - also known as taro, invasive here
Firewheel - Native plant, low growing, with red and orange flowers, again, invasive here
Mexican Petunia - Purple flowers, dark green leaves, makes lovely background plant, can be grown into shrubs - yes, invasive
I also have tuber/bulb type plants with large, long leaves that bloom in the spring, red or white. Some type of lilly I guess. I can't find what they are called. They are are, of coure, invasive.
