At the end of June, my mum and I shared a stall at the Blackpool Winter Gardens Vintage and Home Made Fair. This was my first time having a stall and I found it enjoyable. It was so interesting to see what other people made to sell, it just filled me with so much inspiration.
There were these two ladies on the stall next to us and they were selling patchwork items for charity, their items were lovely. Seeing all the patchwork had me sewing together my first patchwork panel when we got home! I'm still trying to decide whether to attempt to make my first patchwork quilt, or a cushion...can never go wrong with a cushion!
Any who, mum and I worked together to make this stall happen! And we did, we knitted and sewed sooooooooooooo much stuff. Mum knitted and I sewed. We bounced ideas off each other, gave advice on what we could make, we even had a practice run stall in my mums shop! That's how dedicated (excited) we were about having this stall together!
So there's me, being a terrible poser in front off all our hard work! My favourite items out of collection has got to be my mums 'Cyber Sam', her knitted handbags (the cream bag hanging on the wool stand), my hedgehog cushion and Boo the Blue Monster!
The day was fun and mum and I will hopefully be going back at Christmas!
