my creative space

Whenever I get a new fabric delivery there's the initial day of excitement (especially if it's one of my new designs) followed by 'argh, I have to cut & sew it all!' Today will be cutting out lots of fabric.

Linings waiting to be sewed - I kind of like them like this, I think they'd look pretty at a market stall with all their linings poking out. But, somewhat impractical. So, I shall sew them - stock for my shop, and for some upcoming markets.

Cutting business cards. One of the more boring things. But, necessary.

Oh yes, you clearly need a cutting & preparation fairy, as all that mundane preparation really kills the enthusiasm!! Great fabric Penny, love Posie

Michelle said...

okay so jealous, you have a printer that prints to 300gsm??? i have trouble getting mine to print anything at all, one of those hp all-in-ones. it never grabs the paper properly!
