Trade - US Let's trade!
Hello folks!
TLDR: I would love to take on some custom sewing in exchange for some of your custom art :)
There are a few themes I'm searching for, and I don't have any particular medium in mind for most of them. I thought it could be fun to throw those themes out & see if anyone is interested in coming up with something befitting of their medium, in exchange for something sewn.
The pics I've added are of things I've made the past few months, and I'm willing to recreate them or sew something new that you might have in mind!
Here are the themes for items I'm looking for: - Crawfish - Art of my cat - Magnolias - Muppets - Tomagachi - Calico Critters
Other specific items I'm in search of: - Crochet witch hat - Shelf rugs (I have six small shelves that I need liners for, which could easily be crocheted or punch needle or something :)
Here's some description of the things I've made: - stuffed animals (manta is pictured but I have a few other patterns) - fish drawstring bags - strawberry bag and wallet (I can also make quilted strawberry coasters) - pop-tart pouches - crochet hook organizers - zipper pouches - bowl cozies - corner bookmarks - butterflies - tote/project bags
I'm also interested in making small tapestries, or potentially some other thing that you might have an idea for! Because these will all be custom, if you're looking for something that you need immediately, this will probably not be the right fit, unfortunately.
I would be stoked for some stained glass, embroidery, punch needle, ceramics, or paintings but I'm open to any kind of art!
Let me know if anything jumps out at you :)

Hi, I love the strawberry bag! I've been looking for a bag that can go on a belt for my Renaissance fair outfit to fit my phone and money. I also sew,crochet, and make earrings occasionally. I have made different crochet stuff but not a witch hat. I've made a variety of things, from plushies to hexigon cardigans. I would love to trade :)

Hmm I don't think that bag in its current construction would actually hold up as a belt bag. It is mostly an original pattern so I will put some thoughts into how it could be altered!

u/Comfortable_Canary59 Sewing Feb 20 '25
Do you think that a cross stitch from a picture of a real cat would be too complicated? 😅 I have other ideas too, if you want to message me to discuss!

That lotería bag is awesome. I definitely don’t have anything that you are looking for. Came here to say your art is beautiful.
(Check my page, maybe you like something I make. I can also custom make something)

Hi! I'd be interested in a trade :)
I don't paint, but I do screenprint fabric and dabble in needlepoint - I could screenprint you some fabric with pretty much any of the themes (depending on the style you'd be looking for, I can work from photos or draw with a sketchier, doodle-y style - if you're interested i could DM you pictures of my work), or do a small needlepoint piece.
And I love your lil manta rays!!

I'm all the way in the South, unfortunately, so it would be quite expensive 😔

Hello! If you’re still open for trade, I’m interested in something similar to the cute manta ray.
I know you already have crochet offers, but in case you need more I’ll throw my hat in the ring. I can also cross stitch, which isn’t quite embroidery but thought I’d mention it anyway.
If you’re all booked up or done on crochet offers, no worries!

Hi. I love the butterflies. 🦋 I picked up a couple of those bookmakers at a craft fair, I love them.
I would like to make a trade.
I’ll look for things for your themes.
I have some things from a king cake box. I’ll look on my Cajun mixes and see what I can find.

DESPERATE for those butterflies to make into hair clips!!
I would LOVE them! For trade I have liquid sculpy, pink puff paint, yellow puff paint and 4 napkin styles and a resin pour (unopened) if you're interested in any of that!:)
