Eight days to go

Today I've been genuinely surprised to discover sewing two cushions takes half as much time as sewing four. Having a cold makes me kinda dumb like that.

I had been planning to only sew one more - blue prints with Jack's name as the destination - but then I went and sold one. Yes, my first sale! A friend saw them on Facebook and asked if he could buy one for his mum's birthday this weekend. While I'm really pleased by the positive reception I'm almost equally upset that I now have to sew another cushion for my quota of four for sale on my market stall. But as I said, it's not taking nearly as long as I expected so that's fine.

I still have to put together the Barbie fashion kits I've got in mind, but I'm waiting for Mum to send me some cellophane bags to package them in plus I'd like to make up a pattern sheet as well, which means I need a Barbie to fit the pattern on. I checked the op shop for one on Wednesday but they didn't have any. So do I widen my op shop search, or give up on them for now? Nah, when have I even given up before?

I think the felt tram badges might not make it this time though. But only time (eight days' worth) will tell. I have made these though:



After looking at other bloggers doing Made 'N Thornbury I realise I should really update my long-unloved Blogspot with W Class Cushions. Maybe I'll redirect my URL to the Blogspot page. And then I should set up an Etsy or Made It shop... I think all this will probably need to wait until after the market!
