Last Sunday I exhibited at the craft fair at the Pavilion here in Exmouth. I’ve done this a few times as it is a very economical way of advertising the sewing courses and workshops and I have had some degree of success in recruiting students this way.
Up to now I hadn’t ever sold anything and really didn’t expect to but last weekend was a bit of a surprise as I sold a bodice from the rack, took an order for a corset from a lady from Ireland and took measurements for a lady from the Midlands who subsequently ordered a bodice this week and I finished two bodices whilst I was there! What a productive day!
I am going to try it again this coming Sunday to see if it was a fluke!
