Folios in the Works

May 24, 2010

Last November I was freaking out trying to get ready for the Handmade Arcade.  I had such a great time at the show last year and the only negative was that I felt all rushed and sloppy since I waited until the last minute to do a lot of my sewing.  Here is my first effort at getting ahead!  

CrayonFolioPockets
This is the pile of the 33 pockets I have made for 11 crayon art folios.  I sold out of these so quickly last year and so I want to be well stocked.  I love doing these 11 at a time~  all the cutting, interfacing, and then finally you just get to sew and sew and sew without having to stop to iron & cut.  Awesome!  I post a pick when they are all done.  I want to have a total of 30 since my 15 last year where gone within the 1st couple hours!
