Besides buying a new sewing machine for bag making (Janome HD9, which I love), I've just added a new knitting machine to my family of knitting machines. The Toyota KS901 and ribber KR501 is going to let me knit up lovely designer items. Watch this space for what's to come in the future.

Another bag completed ready for my first craft market of the year in February at St Fagans Makers Market on 14th February.

I quite enjoyed sewing this one - may make a few more in different colours and/or fabric.

Another bag completed yesterday. Upcycled denim from an old pair of Calvin Klein jeans and a piece of Harris Tweed.

Getting very disheartened doing craft markets. Seems that people attending are only interested in buying cakes, sweets or 'tat' that stall holders have bought off Temu or Home Bargains and then reselling.

Not sure what I can do to encourage people to even look at the items on my stall. Everything is handmade by me and priced according to material cost, my skills and time taken (ticket prices are usually material costs x 2 or 3 depending on complexity). I don't even mark up the hourly rate to the price otherwise they would be too expensive.

I know times are tough but seems people would rather buy something at a cheaper price that falls apart after one or two washes than spend a little more on something that will last for years, if looked after properly.

A few framed Harris tweed boxes with a stag or highland coo. Ither colours available. DM me if interested.
