This year we are making the most of what we do have.
In between all the family and house stuff I am collecting berries, picking plums, making jams and baking. And in between all that I've been feeding cotton twill tape through my sewing machine to make fancy ribbon. I bought it at an oppy years ago and its been sitting here waiting ever so patiently to become something.
The ribbon will be tied into pretty bows to decorate all the bags of goodies we'll have for sale on the day and to hopefully direct a bit of traffic to our website. Its a bit tricky don't you think?
Its a pretty noisy business I tell ya. I can only manage one bobbin at a time. I wonder if you can get a silencer for your sewing machine....
So what's cooking with you?
See ya!
That looks wonderful! You are a clever marketing machine :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow - your sewing maching can do that?!? You must have one fancy-schmancy sewing machine!! Mine does forwards *and* backwards straight and zigzag stich...hmmmmm

I love it! The twill, the red, the bow, the fact that you sewing machine can spell & write, albeit a tad noisy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the weekend. Keep your spirits up, people love your goods.
I wish I could make it. :( xx
Oh wow, what a clever machine. I have a quilting sewing machine which you can use software to do things like that but I have no idea what to do. Must look into that. Looks great, all the best for the market.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab time at market.
ReplyDeleteThat twill tape is pretty schmick x
That is such a fantastic idea - and it's beautiful! Your customers aren't going to be able to resist purchasing your goodies when they look that pretty. Good luck for your weekend market. xx
ReplyDeleteThe tape is very cool!
ReplyDeleteI hope the market is a huge success for you.
It looks great Kate. Well done. I hope that you sell heaps and have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteWell done on the twill tape! I tried to do that with my machine but I think my tape was too narrow and it just smooshed up. Either that or I didn't run it through my machine straight.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, seeing your lovely tape has inspired me to have another go...with some wider tape. :)
Oh i can never get my lettering to look that good. Ace work. Good luck at your market, i have my first one for the year in 8 days, gulp. Love Posie
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea with the tape. I always get sucked in by pretty packaging.
ReplyDeleteLove it, looks really fab. Hope it goes really well for you all. I can't wait to have a sewing machine with an alphabet!
ReplyDeleteWow - you must have a super dooper sewing machine if it does that! It looks great and good luck for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe twill tape looks great - very eye catching and I am sure it will draw a crowd to your stall. Glad that you have been able to whip some things up to make up for the awful weather we have had.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the twill. Would buy your produce...in a heartbeat. Hoping you have a cracking day.
ReplyDeleteIt's terrific, Kate. It has that nice 'polished' feel about it while retaining the organic yumminess of your business and style. Clever. x
ReplyDeleteI love twill and it looks great with the wording.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at your market.
xx
Love it!
ReplyDeleteMust have taken ages to sew all that!x
What a clever machine (and a creative machinist!) Best of luck at the market. If we were still in Victoria I would come and buy your jams!
ReplyDeleteI have such lovely memories of a holiday in your town with my then boyfriend (who is now my hubby). Daylesford is one of my favourite places in the whole wide world :)
your tape looks really great ~ a nice touch + really tricky! {no idea how you'd make it stitch letters}.
