Studio Sale Success

22/7/2019

0 Comments

 
We held our first major Studio Sale in May, to showcase our treasure trove of donated items and clear space for new items.

During the week before, we also found a new purpose for holding the studio sale, as both of our overlockers (which were donated to us some time ago) broke down, and we urgently needed to find the money to replace them.

To support our sale, Fi and Desi, our two board members who are also amazing designers, joined us with samples of their work. We also had Lucy from Fabric Drop with a selection of her remnants and notions.

Preparation for the sale was a lot of work, taking over a week to fast-track sorting; pull out items usually buried in the back of cupboards; and pack away our usual studio machines and equipment to make room to display everything.


We had well over 60 people attend, and all left with smiling faces and fresh ideas for projects they wanted to make.

Exciting that after the dust settled, we found we had raised just over $1,300 towards replacing our overlockers!

After researching options, we purchased 2 new singer  overlockers from spotlight (yay of 50% off sales!).

We also had enough money to have some of our donated sewing machines fully serviced and repaired - just in time for our pop-up shop where we needed every machine we had in top working order!

To everyone who came and contributed (volunteers and customers), a huge THANK YOU!

Already these machines have been used by many, and will keep being enjoyed for many years to come.
