YAAAA... I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT

 

Today I need to cut out batting for placemats.  And it's a really hard job for me, as it involves laying the batting out on the floor and cutting it out.  That job just kills my back, and I end up totally knackered.

So last night I decided to ask Lacy if she could come over and do it for me?

AND she said 'YES'.  I'm so relieved I don't have to do it.  Thank You Lacy, you are such a good daughter.  Love you to bits.

I am going to sew all day long today, to try and get the placemat orders done, and a few more for market.

Because they seem to be popular here in the village, we are hoping they are just as popular at markets.

Once I've finished a few of the 'new' ones, I will show you, cos they are rather cute.

*** A little heads up... tomorrow's post is going to be a bit special ... to me anyway. ***

ONWARD...

10.15 am, and Lacy is on her way.  Awesome.

I've been in Crabby Quarters for about 2 hours, making more placemat tops.

ABOVE: These are what I'm working on today, plus a few from yesterday as well.  I hope to get at least 12 finished by the end of the day.

Bottom Right: Yeah, I'm not feeling it  But of the 4 of them I've made, 3 are already sold, so that's good.  I much prefer the simpler blue borders.

ABOVE: And now... she only needs to draw out and cut out about 50 rectangles!

ABOVE:  Another one which is rather cute.

Some of these I've only had enough fabric to make 4-6 the same, but it's great to use up smaller pieces of fabric from my stash.  My placemats are being sold individually, so no one has to buy a 'set'.  Which is working well with the ladies here in the village.
