Inside my Preparation for NY Trunk Show

Next weekend is my NY Trunk Show at Bebenoir Boutique in Harlem so I've been spending the the past few weeks getting bags ready. Usually I like to have at least 30 bags to showcase for sell and I'm a little over half way to that goal with about 1.5 weeks left to finish. Needless to say, I'll be sewing all day every day until next Saturday! :)  The great thing about my trunk shows is that I have a lot of bags there I don't post online..so people usually like that. I'm also planning to do some video footage of the event so stay tuned for that as well! I'm really excited about it!

I usually work in pure madness...meaning fabric, leather and notions all over the place.  I like to see fabrics and color laid out all around me... for some reason it helps me come up with designs.  Also because I have soooo much fabric...sometimes I'll forget about some pieces if I don't physically see it laying around.  Check it out....And this is the neater part of my workroom. I dare not show you the entire space...lol


My plan is to journal each day a little about my preparation the week leading up to each event I do.  And just a reminder, here are some of my upcoming events and dates:
