It was the Saltaire Makers Fair last weekend. Unlike the one in May, this fair was only for one day and unfortunately for me, it was a day that I was teaching a workshop at Manningham Mills Community Centre. Unfortunate only because it meant that I didn't get to spend the day chatting and enjoying the company of so many other designer/makers, not because I was teaching the workshop, which was also great fun. Fortunately though, Jim stepped up (as he always does) and attended the fair for me.
I was a little nervous about this one, because rather than focusing on my usual bunnies, bibs and blankets, I produced a lot more clothes and was interested to see how or if they sold.
Strangely, and for the first time ever, I didn't sell a single bunny or bib, and only sold dresses and blouses. And whilst I would have obviously liked to sell everything (aim high, I say!), it's given me a little boost in confidence as I continue to focus more and more on childrens clothes and less on blankets etc.
Some of the new dresses are in the shop now.
