I set up my first Twitter account about eight years ago, and have been using it consistently for approximately the last four. I have additional accounts for school and my class, and last night I created a new one @makingnmarking (makingandmarking was too many characters, sadly). Please feel free to follow me, as I am looking to expand my network of fellow sewists.
I created the account so I could separate out all tweets relating to making. No school, no (ok, minimal) dogs and personal updates centred around sewing.
I immediately followed some of the suggested accounts, and this morning I stumbled across a retweet that originated from @lnathangoucher. It linked to a blog post about a link up, where participants will basically take part in a sewing-themed Secret Santa. Amazing! Items can be bought up to the value of £10, excluding postage. Lisa has even helpfully includes last posting dates to ensure Christmas delivery. My mind is already whirring. I know I would like to send several smaller items, but I’m wondering, if you could choose to find any items in your #sewingsanta, what would they be and why?
Ps: sign ups for #sewingsanta end on October 31st, so hurry if you would like to join!
Dreaming of all sorts of kit!! Maybe a length of vintage fabric or some kitsch buttons! Basically happy with anything…there’s no way I’ll get a sewing-related present without #sewingsanta!!

I think you’re right, buttons will need to be involved! Something you can never have too many of 🙂

I know I thought you would love it, I wonder if you could ask to join and be partnered with another international? Or if you asked nicely you might be able to launch the idea stateside, I bet $10 goes a REALLY long way at Joann’s 😬 x

This is genius! I would love to join in but the postage to Singapore would exceed the cost of the present itself I think…

Funnily enough, my friend Nat at threadsandbobbins.wordpress.com lives in the US and was saying she would love to take part – I wonder if you two could sort something between you?
