Hi everyone! I wanted to say that one time I saw a yoyo vest worn by a woman on Star Trek...the new generation tv show.
It must be considered futuristic by tv writers!

Sign me up. I've never made these before and never done a swap. Can you explain how it will work??? What else will I need to do besides send you 50 yo-yo's?

Thanks!

to Carrie M
here is a tutorial on how to make them
http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/photos/how_to_make_a_yoyo/index.html
we are using a standard size cd as our template
mail 50 to me by Aug 30 ( that means I receive them by the 30 not put in the mail on the 30) along with a sase ( self addressed stamped envelope with shipping on it) will cost the same shipping both ways.
You are welcome to make make more than 50 if you really get into it if you make 100 and sign up for 50 I will still send you 100 back please just don't send odd numbers keep it increments of 50.

i will sort these all out right after I receive them all or sooner if I think alot of people will be late then I will just swap out the late people with each other. Then mail back in your sase

I will send you my snail mail in a few moments and include these notes plus my address in it.

P.S
Ask as many questions as it takes to feel comfortable with this
Welcome to MJF too

have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

Hey Sunshine, I need some help with this yo-yo swap. No, no I don't want you to make mine for me It's that I have never quilted, want to learn and I am new here. I took a CD, traced around on some material,cut it out, turned about 1/4 over, stitched and pulled. It looks right to me but is small. What have I not done right?? I do not want to sign up unless I am sure I that I am making these things correctly Should I just mail you one to see?? Thank you for helping me, I think this is going to be great!!

should be a little smaller than 1/2 the size of the cd. Sounds like you are making them correct. Did you check out the tutorial on heather's site. http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/photos/how_to_make_a_yoyo/index.html


here is a visual reference
