Just a few coin purses fused and cut.
Next up: fuse the labels then overlock the edges, then sew them up, and finally, trim, turn and press.
How many do you reckon are here?
And how many did you reckon I’ll get stitched in the next 24 hours (I’ll run out of zips for some…)?

For some reason, I thought it was this weekend, but apparently this year Mothers' day falls on 14 May. To celebrate not being late, I'm having a flash sale - treat your mum - or yourself - with 14% off until Sunday 8 May. Online at TheSewphist.com, some exclusions apply.

Surprise! I was lucky enough to nab a last minute stall outside Mrs Blackwell’s @thevillagebookshop in Te Hupenui | Greytown. I’m here while the weather holds, or until 3:30ish. This is your last chance for 2022… my online shopping will also close for the holidays tonight.

Just had to redo my last toot, as I remembered too late that hashtags are so important here.

As an FYI for other small businesses in Aotearoa New Zealand, I’m going to be using #MadeInAoNZ #MadeInNZ and #BuyNZMade as my main tags to help people find and support local. 🇳🇿

Need a little gift for someone?

My coin purses are the perfect wee present, small and light, they’re easy to post. They’re also the perfect way of presenting special tiny treasures that you want to keep protected.
