Purl Frog Swap *edited*

For this swap (why do I always start my swap descriptions like that? Which other swap would I be posting instructions for?). Ahem, for this swap you will be making your partner a Purl Frog. It's a lovely simple pattern that's a breeze to sew up and looks awesome in all kinds of fabrics.

The catch is you will need to try and choose a fabric your partner will love. Check their profile for likes in regards to colour or pattern and pick out something you think will float their boat.

Please note that contrary to the instructions at the pattern website, you will not be stuffing your frog Due to customs restrictions in many countries, food based stuffing could end badly. Finish your frog up to the point of stuffing but stop there. Your partner will fill and finish your frog when it arrives.

Please include enough of the thread you used to sew the frog to allow your partner to close the frog when they have stuffed it.

You also do not need to use pony beads for the eyes, you can use buttons or whatever else strikes you as awesome.

Let's play!

In order to frog it UP Purl style with us, you need:

• At least 1 rated craft swap (ATCs are counted)
• No unexplained no sends in the last 6 months
• A 4.7 rating or better.

This is such a breezy pattern I'm happy to open this up to less experienced sewing types, but you have to pinky swear to send your very best work. No excuses.

Due to the crafty nature of the swap, unrated newbies will not be accepted. Sorry newbie :( I know it's mean of me.

I was so impressed with myself for thinking of this freebie pattern idea thing I even went NUTS and made a group, so if you're keen to play with freebie patterns, feel free to join the group "Free Pattern Creations" where this sort of swap will be the thing we do. For fun.
