We’re open!
Sunday, October 19th, 2014
First off, apologies that I didn’t get a Friday Pattern Pick done this week – I was just slightly busy! Why I hear you ask? Well Friday was the day before our shop opening and I had what seemed like a zillion bolts of fabric to price up, 1200 patterns had just arrived and the place looked like a bomb site. One very very late night and early start later and we made it. Open. And what a fantastic day we had. Cake was eaten, fizz was drank, goody bags were handed out and competitions were won. And lots of lovely people gave such positive feedback and supportive comments that I feel like one very lucky girl today. Everyone loved the shop – the vibe, the light, the cheery assistants, oh and of course all the goodies on offer. We sold lots of fabrics – from the whole price range and also more patterns than I expected, especially those from Tilly and the Buttons which proved very popular, with quite a few Vogue patterns being ordered too. Many buttons and trims were snaffled up and quite a bit of wool was bought too. So we seemed to have something for everyone – phew, that’s just what I wanted.
Although not all our workshop dates are finalised yet we had loads of interest so please keep a watch here if you want to know what we’re up to – we’ll be advertising them soon.
So all in all one brilliant day. I was tired but very happy when we closed the doors for the day – and I can’t wait to see Sassy Sewing grow from this point on. It goes without saying that I have a long list of people to thank, all of whom kept me on the straight and narrow throughout – you know who you are, but I’ll mention them anyway. Judi, Debs, Christina, Jim, Lars, Sarah, Lucy and Rosie plus the guys at The Stables and the brilliant team at Age UK next door. Thank you all, but a special thanks to Jim, without whom, we genuinely wouldn’t have made it. So thanks again everyone – from the bottom of my heart.
We were so busy that I hardly got any pictures but here is a small collection just to give you a flavour. Please call in and say hello. We’re at 8 Market Place, Horncastle, LN9 5HB.
A very useful sewing site
