Lauriejo, that's not possible while sending from the NL. But sending it as 'letter', less than 1 1/4 inch high, wouldn't be very expensive, just a few euro's. So for me a 'flat' LOL pincushion would be doable, but there is still the cost for the Am. swapper(s).
It would be an idea Klaws, but I think the fun for most is getting a ready made pc.
Oh, just had a brainwave (gotta remember that, doesn't happen too often LOL), what if the person who has me makes a pc, but doesn't fill it. So I would just have to fill it and sew the last few stitches? Could that be done?
I suppose that way you could send it as a 'letter' too?
But I don't want to give you more work Lauriejo, I just wrote it because I've been looking at this swap for several month thinking of a way to participate and not end up 'broke' LOL.
