Slowly pulling ahead with sewing

Apr 12, 2018 9 Replies

Major phew, I have this afternoon managed to empty the box of pieces that are Reversible dresses for Spring. Just counted the rail and I have made 82!! Cross them off the list. Now onto aprons.


Whew! My head is spinning with the thought of sewing 82 dresses, reversible or not!!

(Is our Claire gulping down those 5-hour energy drinks to accomplish all this sewing??) ;-))

Nope but many pots of tea!!

I do believe the end is in sight. Nearly finished the rompers now, then bodies and bibs to go.

It's getting easier as the quantities I need to make are getting smaller.

2 more pairs of rompers and then about 15 bodies and 8 bibs and I should be balanced for stock.

However the bets are on for how long it takes for the first client to the stall to say haven't you got this colour in that size!!

You'll just have to grit your teeth and say what is in stock is what you get.

I have been known to say "I did have but I sold it earlier/yesterday. Such a shame how about this one instead?"

Very smart! And, said with a smile, less likely to offend.

Technically everything is done as of last night 7pm and I have a week to go until the big market. I am quite amazed at myself. Of course I could de more but if I only have what I have now I will be happy. Now I am just hoping for a dry weekend, very rare at the end of April here. It's too much to ask for full sun!!

I'm amazed at what you've accomplished, too!

I hope you have a dry week-end as well and you sell out of everything. When it's all over treat yourself to a day at a spa, you deserve it.
