I finished up the aprons I was working on yesterday. I cant wait to see them on the retail floor, their price, but most importantly- if they sell. I also clicked out a bunch of different shapes. I found a leather glasses case that looks relatively easy. I started a pattern and ill try to finish it tonight with my handy dandy sewing machine.
In great news: I get to work part time during the school year! The manager made sure to tell me that it was only a trial, but I'm still excited.
I made some pretry cool work aprons today to sell on the retail floor. They are made of oil tanned leather and look like they will wear very nicely. One apron is for my manager's wife's sake. She loves sparkles and anything feminine. This one is made of purple sparkly learher with a white sparkly trim and crystal rivets. I also suggested antiqued brass rivets for the oil tan. He actually agreed. The pics are of the aprons (unfinished), poor Cameron who took over my job sewing 1900 scuffer cases, and the floor tiles we're custom making for a customer.
Wallets most of the day today. That's okay because I talked to the manager and I get my vacation before school starts and she wants me to work part time when school starts! Horray! I also started on two embossed and antiqued belts for myself. Ive been working there too long to be wearing a belt made in China. I will post pictures soon!
I didnt have to work in scuffer cases all day today! I made some belts to go in an interesting floor tile....made up completely of belts. I also sewed some wallets.
I am on number 684 of 1900 little leather gadgets. Each piece gets two rows of stitching. I will have gained much patience after this.
There are a ton of dyes for bracelets and I organized and catalogued them all today. I even made a fancy Excel spreadsheet that my boss couldnt figure out. Horray for order.
