Open for business

We’re a little late posting this week, but with good reason… We’re producing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Work started yesterday, we couldn’t resist a Western style Agenda and ‘Values’ discussion...

And after that it was up up and away,

•   cutting stamps and stamping

• Cutting and sewing

This industrial quality sewing machine was purchased for us by James and Alex, a fantastic donation which will allow to recruit one more seamstress into the operation

• Fixing the sewing machines (I should have built them properly in the first place)…

Now what’s wrong with this photo?

Yep, I spotted it too, the thread tension’s shot. Look at the bobbin thread puckering through the seam. Shocking.

• Dying and hanging

    

    

   

• Looking good

• And finishing our first item!!!

By the end of the day, 6 baskets finished and 4 yards batiked with another 4 well under way.

In truth, we couldn’t be more proud.
