Show preps are going along great this week. Every piece of fabric is ironed, tagged and packed! I'm down to working on some computer things and one of those things was to draw up the templates for my fabric flowers. EVERY person who has come in the house to see them has said that people will want to either buy the flowers (not for sale) or make their own and that I needed handouts.
I have the basic tutorial on the web and I really don't want to print out multi-page instructions. Instead I've updated the tutorial to include downloadable templates for all of these flowers. I'll print off some stickers with the web address and hand those out. Plus I wanted you to have the templates too! After you make a couple of them you will start designing your own unique flowers. They are a lot of fun to make and quite addictive. Get the tutorial.

That was nice of you to write up a tutorial when you are so busy getting ready for your show. The flowers are brilliant!

Great plan! I am in the "of course everyone will want them" camp. I am glad you added the templates so that folks can easily make their own.

You could so easily have sold the patterns for these Vicki and instead you so kindly gave the how to to us - they're wonderful and I know lots of people are going to be making them to decorate their sewing rooms (if I had wall space, I certainly would be!!).

ooohhhh goodie, thanks for the tut also for the book recommendations. I have just re-listened to Sister Queens, by Julia Fox. About Katherine of Aragon, Henry's first wife and her sister and other family members, well researched, you may have even recommended it. Hope your booth is a sell out, best of luck.

When I was making hats and selling to shops, I created my own display stands for a wholesale show and was surprised when many shop owners wanted to buy them. I know people will want your flowers ... and you might consider selling them (at a nice profit) on your last day at the show. I hope you will share photos of your booth and the flowers, all in place together. It's going to be fantastic. Comments are closed.
