crazy idea....or not?


well, I was thinking about two tiny hedgehogs I made of vintage cotton, remeber? Sadly, I had only small scraps of that fabric, so maybe only one hedgehog will be available in my shop later. But then I thought, that you, my dear friends, have maybe some lovely bits of fabrics in your homes too. So, what if I could make a tiny hedgehog for you from your own fabric? For free?

This is how it would go:
1. You send me your fabric (enough for two tiny hedgehogs)
2. I'll make one hedgehog for you, one hedgehog for me.
3. You get your hedgehog for free (pay only for shipping)
4. I get my reward by selling other hedgehog in my Etsy shop

Now, this is just an idea (a crazy one), so I'm asking you to give your opinions on this - is it good, is it bad, would you do it, how would it be done at best etc etc . ALL thoughts and ideas are welcome!!!!
PS if you don't like it at all, I'm not going to force anyone :) hihi!

EDIT: Measurements for fabric are - 60 X 44 cm for two tiny hedgehogs. That is 23'' X 17,3''

Mhh... and what if I send you absolutely ugly fabric?

Hmmmmm..... I like the idea. It would be great for those who don't sew but have a favourite fabric. Such cute hedgies!

Eva said...

well, I don't think someone would like to have an ugly hedgehog in first place :)

Nicole said...

I like the idea too, how much fabric do you need for two tiny hedgehogs?

Eva said...

Oh, right - measurements for the fabric!

Jesse said...

Very sweet idea! And it would be fun to see what fabric you get.

A great idea!

These are so cute. Lovely idea!

nima said...

that's a nice idea....

Samantha said...

I think it's a great idea! I'd love to do it!

Now that sounds like a fun idea! And it would be fun to see all the hedgehogs you make with different fabrics from different places .....

And I need to tell you - you've been tagged - see my blog!

Love the idea! Give it a jumpstart. Where to and how much fabric should we send you?

Dolores said...

I was thinking almost the same as Kreativlink - what if I sent you fabric that I liked and you didn't? It can turn into a tricky situation. Maybe you could make a pattern and sell it so all of us can make our own? Just a suggestion.

Otherwise, I have fabric I could send and I would love a hedgehog.

I would love to be involved, I like the idea that I could have one hedgehog and that he would have one twin out there! Wonderful...Though this sounds like a lot of work for you!!
Count me in if you want to, let me know how much fabric and where to send : D

Fantastic idea! Sign me up! :)

Kate & Oli said...

I love this idea - here are my reasons: I LOVE your hedgehogs and would adore one in a fabric that meant something to me. Like Claire Bee said, I like the idea of a twin out there. I can't sew at all. Even if I could, I'm not as talented as you. I win + you win! If you decide to do this, I'm totally in. SIGN ME UP!

This is a nice idea - I have some nice spotty linen/cotton mix that I envisage seeing as a little twin hedgehog! I would definitely like to participate if you decide to go ahead - just let me know.

Eva said...

Hi Cindy!
The fabric I used for my two tiny hedgehogs is vintage fabric. I have not implied that you have to send me vintage fabric :)You can send me whatever you like :)
