I launched a new product in my shop last week. Years ago I sewed us a bag to fit a score pad & pen, a deck of cards, and our dice. It's been so handy to grab when we want to play something at home, and we throw it in whenever we go camping or on a road trip; nice to have it all together and ready to go. One thing I love about it is having a long term record in the score pad notebook - I love looking back at who played what when, and who won! I thought of making some for Christmas gifts last year, and did make and give one, but thought they would be great to make for the shop, too. I've got two finished and listed, and plan to have a bunch more available soon.
The fabric I used for those bags was leftover from a big project I did for my friend Holly. She is a teacher, and is using tables instead of desks in her classroom. She asked if I would make her 30 seat sacks - pockets that fit over the backs of the chairs to hold the student's books.
So that's what September has looked like from my sewing machine's point of view! I've also been trying to build up a good stash of stock - the more you have in your shop the better you fare in search results, and also I am doing a sale in a couple of months, and want a good selection of each product for my table there.
