Wednesday morning was the start of the Autumn Session of the Shed. It was a Mardle [Norfolk word for get-together and natter] The men, wives and other friends of the group enjoyed drinks and snacks in the sunshine. On the right is Nancy. She's in her 80s and has lived in this area most of her life, and involved in all sorts of community activities.
She is a great supporter of the Shed. I'd taken down my last apron*, to show those who hadn't seen them.
She asked if she could borrow it and take it round the various groups she attends, to drum up some orders.
I hope I am as active and enthusiastic when I'm in my eighties!
* I've sold 8, and one was a gift to Mandi, whose company donated the fabric. She kindly posted a lovely review on the Village Facebook group. I already have orders for three more from blogfriends. So I spent Thursday cutting out another 10 aprons, and pressing hems ready for stitching when I get back from hospital visiting this morning.
Your attention to detail is why your makes always have such a good finish! I don't think I've had my proper iron and ironing board out for years!
ReplyDeleteIt comes out as much for sewing as it does for laundry
DeleteOh this could be the start of something big! Well done you. Wish I lived nearer, could be your Production Assistant!
ReplyDeleteThat would be great, but I suspect that we'd be too busy chatting and laughing to get the work done
