I forgot to tell you – we made 65 bags on five sewing machines on Saturday! That was working very hard, with a queue almost the whole day.
Today (Sunday) we made 47 bags on four machines as Minke had to retire “injured”, but Frank hopes to sort him out before we hand them on.
This is the first pulse of customers arriving at 9.30 – look at the beautiful blue sky. It lasted all day.
Early on we had a nice surprise – a lady arrived with a morsbag already in her handbag. She’d been given it by a friend in Bristol who’d been bagged a little while ago and had asked for one for a friend – her!
The interesting things about this bag are that
1) It came with a leaflet that said it had been made by Offcuts pod
and
2) It doesn’t have a sewn-on label, the same info and logo has been stamped onto a plain part of the bag. Looks great, hope it’s washable.
Just round the corner from us today they were holding free pompom making workshops – our customers started arriving wearing pompom crowns or tiaras. 😀 They didn’t have to queue, participants who couldn’t fit in the tent just sat outside in the sunshine, winding away, lovely!
I’d like to thank the team at The Handmade Fair who made it possible for us to participate this weekend. We had a wonderful and productive weekend. And I’d also like to thank the two Austrian ladies, mother and daughter, who came and watched, then returned and made their bags. They came to see us as they were leaving and we were packing up, to say that they enjoyed their time sewing with us the best of the whole day. Now that’s the sort of thing that keeps us going 🙂 Thank you for saying thank you!
