production line

Over the school holidays I didn't have much chance to craft for the upcoming craft fairs I've got. I couldn't do much with two little ones needed me to make huts, snacks etc for them all the day long, but I could start a little production line. I started to cut up some of the vintage linens I've got saved up to make notebooks from, the linens all are a bit worse for wear, stains, holes, even paint marks. I got a big stack all cut up ready to sew over the past few weeks, and now the sewing has begun! The best part of a production line is that all of a sudden you have a whole bunch finished! I haven't really made any of these notebooks since the last fair in December last year and I'd forgotten how fun they were to sew. This time around I tried hard to keep little details from the linen in the finished objects, like the crochet boarders. The inside front and back is like a little pocket to tuck receipts or little notes in. The top photo shows about half of the notebooks I've got finished, they were a best seller so I want to make super sure I've got a good supply of them made.
