hello friends,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend - we enjoyed the sunshine and all around good weather, at the end of the day yesterday john went next door and sat on the patio and enjoyed a beer all on his own - that may sound odd, but if you have children you know how nice it is to have some quiet time. I wanted to show you the work that I made last week at the dyeing party. I was asked by several customers if I would make a cotton market bag and so I did a version of the market bags I made in the past - the changes I made was reversing the handles and putting a gusset on the bottom. the other change was instead of serging the inside seams I fully lined it. this looks better and it also provides more strength. I hope you like them - more photos here. plus a scarf being modeled by my brother. this one is a real favourite, but it sold in the shop yesterday just after I photographed it. it was tie died in indigo plus afterwards in pomegranate. I definitely will need to get the indigo vat going - so I can make more. I hope you enjoy your start to the week - we are getting a ductless air conditioner installed this morning - yeah! also early this morning lliam is going on his first school bus field trip to visit bugs.
see you tomorrow! xxa
