Just a few new bits and bobs added to the Fairysteps shop. Including some rather yummy short socks... all are in the Summer sale!
I hope to complete my July orders this week and start my August ones next week so Im getting all geared up for making stock shoes after this time. A huge amount of customer suggestion forms have asked for UK size 5, mainly in 3 styles. PUCK, QUINCE and MUSTARDSEED. The favourite colours seem to anything with a woodland feel. With this in mind I think that PUCK will be the first pattern that I draft across all sizes. I can then make up a batch in maybe 4, 5, 6 and 7 all in the same colour. I cant tell you how excited I am about this... Im a bit of a time and motion bore so this, albeit tiny, production line appeals to me. Its how I work best and most efficiently.
Bags are on the books too. The lovely DAPHNE in ecotan has sold and I am very keen to make more of her in the other ecotan colours. I have also been sketching 2 new bag styles aimed specifically at woolly customers, but its going to be good for anyone really! Partly restyled from my bags from the past.
PURL, which is a tall barrell shaped bag with several pockets including a long needle pocket, and FLOLLOPY which is big and basically a leather tote (hate that word but what else can you say that people will recognise?). Its going to be a larger version of a bag I used to make called CHAGFORD. I have purchased some extra soft, squidgy leather in natural shades ready for this! Another older style called DOTTY will also be making a comeback in this same leather which I will be lining in vintage cottons...
So much planned and I still havent grown any extra arms...
