I can hardly believe my luck! The event I am preparing for has been postponed until October 20th and now I have plenty of time to sew!
Not that anyone would be excited a hurricane is inbound; I am however, really relieved and grateful the event I am preparing for has been postponed until October 20th and I now have plenty of time to sew a beautiful collection of my best selling products. According to the town website, 35,000+ people attend this annual celebration. Yikes! This just keeps getting better by the minute. Doesn't it? As a result of the extension I can now happily resume the Craft Fair Series alongside our regularly scheduled tutorials. So keep your eye out for random videos, social media posts and roundup emails as I document my daily progress. I have included a mini adjustable strap tutorial in this week's studio update below. I hope you enjoy it and will try out this new style of strap.
And, for all our friends and family in the path of this huge storm please be safe!
XO,
Andrea

If you would like to learn how to think like I do and acquire the mindset and tools to design your own bags and accessories, there are still some seats left. Reserve your seat here.
