work in progress
paw-me(s)
Long long time ago... (ahem) a friend of mine came back from a beach resort & bought me a unique coin pouch from a street vendor there. You guessed it! I copied that cute little pouch, and asked my mom to let's make & sell them!
However, we had limited fabric choices when we first started out, & our tastes in fabric choices are always so different (can be extreme at times). Top it up with my poor photography skills, the final "listing" simply don't look appealing at all.
Then, she found a bunch of unused plain fabric, & made a dozen of these! I told her that it'll be difficult for me to sell them, when even the "flowery-printed" ones arent even sold yet. So, I suggested sewing on shapes on them, making use of the "empty canvas" to bring some "life" to it. It worked, & I managed to sell off every single piece of them... the "paws" emerging as the most popular of them all, garnering lots of comments & sales ^^
But, I decided to focus on our shop's best-selling items (the Organizer Purse range) & stop making these little pouches.
However, from time to time, I'd have customers requesting for these little pouches in their fabric of choice, or colour combination of their preference. The above pictures r some that were recently completed. Looking so pretty & inviting, I decided to reproduce them from now onwards ^^
We'll start by using the "left-over" fabrics (that r too small to make any other purses) to make them. And the Paw-Me(s)? We'll continue to make them as custom orders, so that customers can have a choice of the colour combinations ;)
I can't wait to see what my creative customers are going to come up with next!
