I think I've got enough bags now to sell at the Christmas Fair. 20 finished, some shopping bags, some smaller with longer over the shoulder handles. I used some smaller pieces of fabric up.
I'll have a rest from this now, and move on to something else. ilona
Ilona I love your bags and wondered if it was something I could do for my favourite charity...As most of your fabrics are donated to you I just wondered what price you put on them to make sure that they sell?
Yes, you could make some for your charity, they are simple to make. Use a 10p bag for life as a pattern.
I sell them ridiculously cheap £1 each. All the other cloth bags I have seen for sale are quite flimsy and cost more. Mine are strong, and people get a bargain. I want them to be pleased with them and use them for a long time.
Just a thought ... one of the most useful bags I was ever given was a small one. It was about 8"x8"x3" wide and its purpose was to put the few requirements in when popping out on a quick errand with a baby: bottle, wipes, diaper, toy and when no huge diaper bag was needed. It was green and had an iron-on frog appliqued on one side. Oh, and it had one handle that went from the near end of one side to the far end of the other and that was handy, too.
Lovely material for very useful bags.Even the smaller ones can be used as peg bags,makeup bags,taking treats when walking a dog ect.I hope you sell them all and I do wish I lived nearer to be able to buy a couple!xx
Good luck with the sales. I'm sure you'll raise some money for your charity
ReplyDeleteYour bags are brilliant and should sell well especially this time if Year.

I reckon you can make those bags in your sleep now and with eyes shut! Wonder how many you've made in total?
ReplyDeleteProbably quite a lot Sue. Must be over 100 now. I haven't counted.

ReplyDeleteThe bags are lovely Ilona and I’m sure people who get one really enjoy using them. I hope they sell at the Christmas fair.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the fabrics for those bottom two! Hope the sales go well.
ReplyDeleteIlona, I absolutely love the bags. My favorite is the one that looks like different teapots. I would buy several if I lived there. Beautiful work!
