'Tell your Story' 

Thanks Patricia from The Design Trust and Make It In Design for the Building a Branding video series.

I was talking to a customer at a recent craft fair about how I have just changed to a UK fabric printers

now I'm ordering bigger quantities of fabric and someone else stopped to listen. 

I realised this was exactly what Patricia from the Design Trust as talking about when she was saying 
Tell your Story'. My customers are actually interested to hear what goes on behind the scenes,

so this is what I will endeavour to do from now on.

So as you have probably gathered I now get my fabrics printed in the UK, so its a completely British brand. Designed, printed and made here.

I also received my first batch of proper printed care labels from Woven Labels. Another exciting
step for Chez Beccy. 

Sewing in my first care label!

I've been busy making more cards for my collection. These are my two new designs.

To go with my original two designs.

I've also been making more Aprons. These are proving rather hard to photograph well so when I've done that I'll show you. 

I have a bunch of lavender hearts also coming along nicely.

They just need the lavender and then they are ready to sew up!

I've been busy making aprons the past couple of weeks.

All cut out, now the sewing.

And finally sewing on the pocket.

The finished Apron!

 

Have decided my towel rail looks pretty good as it is. I can get 2 rows of tea towels and a row of napkins on it. So I think it will work well standing on a table at a craft fair. Just need to make some price labels now.

I bought some pretty blue and white bowls yesterday. I wanted to display them nicely on my dresser but it was so full of stuff you couldn't see them! So I've had a big tidy up and I'm really pleased with the results. I've also put some parsley in a jam jar to add a bit of greenery. It always makes me feel so happy when I tidy up. I don't know why I don't do it more!

Now I'm off to make some Aprons. So I should have some to show you next time!
