Gee, where has the time gone? So much for me trying to blog more regularly. What. A. Joke. Anyway....
I had a market stall back in April. It was my first in Australia and I came home more excited abut sewing and making and creating than I have ever been. I sold a few ladies sized skirts and girl skirts but with my ears to the ground I heard customers asking for 'things for boys'. Hmm. Just by chance a girlfriend gave me an awesome sewing book for my 40th which included a pattern for shorts for little kids.
*light bulb moment*
So I made a pair and tested them on Lily, who loved them. She still does. And she's generally not a pants/shorts kind of gal but she asks to wear her 'Chocolate Shorts' all the time.
I got my hands on some rather funky fabric. I love making shorts for 'Little Fellas' as its nice to be sourcing fabric of a more male kind than female.
I had another market stall a couple of weeks ago and got great feedback and sold a few too. Considering I didn't have a great number of shorts (available in 3 different sizes) I was very happy with the sales I gained.
Roll on my next market. =)
