Tidy(ish) workshop

Ages ago I said I was clearing out my workshop, getting new furniture and tidying it up. I also said I'd let you see it when it was done. I'm sure you all thought that I'd forgotten, no, its just it was still too much of a mess! I have finally almost got up to date with orders and have had a chance to tidy up my little workspace so here are the pics. I had to take pics of it looking like this because it will never look this tidy again!!

Today I've been busy putting together an order for Fact and Fancy in Brooklyn, NYC and hope to get it mailed to them in the next few days. This will be my first shop outlet in the USA and I'm excited to see how PhatSheep products are received by the New York shoppers!

While browsing though the internet looking for a new sewing project for myself I found this rather odd but possibly strangely useful!?! tutorial, has anybody tried to do this?

What happened to summer!?!

Over the Midsummer weekend PhatSheep Textiles and PhatSheep Photography had a stall in the craft area of the Flavour of Shetland Event - a major outdoor event showcasing some of the very best food, drink, music, craft and culture Shetland has to offer.

This is an annual event I always look forward to as its a great opportunity to sell direct to customers, sit outdoors in the sunshine, listen to some great local musicians and catch up with friends.

Except this year it rained and rained and rained........

The weekend was mostly spent in waterproofs having endless hot drinks to keep warm! Thankfully, despite the weather, people still turned up enjoyed the event and sales were still good. So a worthwhile weekend, but fingers (and toes) crossed that the sun shines next year!
