Sequins in the Shop
Well, it only took me several weeks longer than I had intended, but the sequinned clutches are in the shop finally! I hope to get some more fabrics and add to the collection but seriously, this month has gotten away from me. It's July next week! JULY!!! Toronto has been hit with a heat wave so it at least feels like summer finally!
Anyhoo, new pretties in the shop so check them out!

One More Week!
Eeek! Only one more week until the TEST Springtime Marketplace! I'll admit, I kinda (really) slacked this week. Didn't do nearly as much as I should have. So now the final few days will be last minute errand running and sewing! I only have a few more things I'd like to make so if it doesn't get done, it's not the end of the world. I also need to get change from the bank, snacks for the day, more paper bags etc. The little things! For now I have borrowed a suitcase from my friend and have started getting myself organized by packing things as I think of them. Still on the lookout for the final piece for my display. I got that basket on the right last week and it's not quite right but in a pinch it will do!
Can't wait!

First Craft Show: Progress
Right now my life is all craft show, all the time. Because it is my first show, I am literally starting from scratch. I have no sign, no display, limited inventory etc. But I must say that this past week has been insanely productive. I made 12 clutches, got my business cards printed, thrifted a few baskets for my table, (finally) figured out what to do for my sign etc. Off to a great start!
This week will be about starting round two of the sewing spree (but not just yet because I am le tired), shopping for supplies and making various signage for the table. Also, keep thrifting. I don't have enough display items. I also need something to put my business cards in. The problem is, I don't want to buy too many large things because then they'll just be sitting around in my apartment. The baskets I've bought I actually really like and can find purposes for after the fact. But I still have three weeks. And once I get that sign done I'll be in amazing shape.
I really have no idea how much inventory is too much. I'll probably keep sewing until the actual day because worst case scenario, leftover clutches get listed in my shop. Anyways, that's all for now. Hopefully next time I post I'll be able to share all my finished craft show DIYs!

TEST Springtime Marketplace
Guess what? I'm doing a craft show!
The fabulous ladies at the Toronto Etsy Street Team are running the show on Saturday, June 1st at 918 Bathurst Street. Check out the Facebook event!
It's my first one and while I have been to many shows, I have absolutely no idea what to expect being behind the table. How much stuff do I make? What should my display be? I NEED A SIGN?? Ahhh!
In the coming weeks my focus will be on getting my display/stock ready so I will still be blogging, but there won't be any DIY tutorials for a bit!
I've already put in an order for business cards and started thrifting for display items ;) Today I need to buy replacement blades for my rotary cutter before I start cutting all the fabric ever.
I might add things to my Etsy shop between now and then, but this month is going to be such a whirlwind that I can't make any promises!
Wish me luck!

OWU Spotlight: Envelope Clutch
Is it the weekend yet? Almost? Thank goodness! I have been so excited for this coming long weekend. It means tons of free time for friends, sewing and, of course, more DIYs ;) I have a few on my mind so keep your eyes peeled over the next few days!
For now, I wanted to feature my envelope clutches. I had a mild crisis with this one, but it all came together in the end. What I really like about this style is that it can easily be dressed up or down, and the shape really shows off the beautiful tapestry patterns. :)

Have an amazing chocolate-filled weekend!

OWU Spotlight: Box Clutch
Lots to things to announce! First things first, there is a small shop update coming this weekend! Just a few items but it's been a while so I am very excited!
Another source of excitement is that my Etsy store is getting a makeover! Several of my listings are slooowly be updated with model photos of yours truly. I have wanted to do this for some time and so with the help of a dear friend over the weekend, I have tons of photos creeping into my store.
While showing off these new pics, I am going to be doing a series of blog posts featuring each of my designs. Starting today!

One of my favourite designs is the simplest one: the box clutch. (No, it's not a box. I like the name and it stays :D!) The perfect size for your makeup, your e-reader, or just use it for items that you want to keep separate in your purse. I make a box clutch out of my favourite fabrics. Check them out with their two-toned counterparts here!
