Stirling Street Art Centre Arts & Crafts Market

Stirling Street Art Centre Arts & Crafts Market - my little stall

Next month the Stirling Street Art Centre Arts & Crafts market will be on again on 5 September, the first Saturday of the month.

It runs from 9am to 2pm.

There are other crafty things to see at the markets, I think I’ll take more photos of other stalls to post next month.

Admittedly it is a rather small market, but it is great fun.

I just hope that the stall-holders will stay there until it gets bigger.

I’ll need to tweak my stall display to make it look more appealing and educational.

Market musings

My first market day turned out as well as I expected. A few enquiries, no sales, great feedback on how to do it better next time.

Being in a country city like Bunbury does have its drawbacks, the arts and crafts scene is a lot more mature than the ones in the big cities. There needs to be a modern vibe in craft markets if you want to get younger people to come along.

I’m in the midst of building the website since Prestashop came out with the last stable update, so will be busy with that until the end of the week, hopefully.

I have a number of Bubba J cuddlefleece covers available, mostly in size small, just need to put up photos so that you can see how soft they are. Small covers fit from around 3-6kg, medium from 6-12kg. They are stretchy and water resistant, with all the benefits of a fleece nappy cover but with the fluffy factor of coral fleece.

You really have to feel it to believe it!

TIll next time. Bec, Bean Sprout Mumma

So things didn’t exactly go to plan

…but I will still be at the markets!

Realistically I will only have lots of small cuddlefleece covers to sell at the markets this coming Saturday (at the Stirling Street Arts Centre from 9am to 2pm). With two small children underfoot I have grossly overestimated my abilities. I apologise in advance if you were wanting to buy some of the other products in the range.

I will still bring a sample of each product in my range just for you to have a feel.

So look out for my nappy stall at the markets!

Time has flown past, I can’t believe it will be market day in about a week! I love Bubba J and I hope others would love the nappies too. It not only fits my babies well, it is also quick to sew up and not a burden to make.

So far:
- cut out cuddlefleece outers to be made into small and medium fleece covers.
- (halfway) cut out microfleece inners to be made into small and medium fleece covers.
- figured out label & elastic placement on sewing test samples, looking really good so far.

Need to do:
- unpick old labels if using pre-cut fabric.
- cut out new fabric for pockets.

I am still waiting on some material to arrive for the pockets and fitteds. If they don’t arrive on time, I may have to launch at the market with lots of cuddlefleece & minky covers and pocket shells with limited inserts. No fitteds this market round unless I get the fabric tomorrow.

I will do my best to start posting more regularly into this blog, as the shop setup has paused: I need more content written up to continue. What better motivation to blog, ay? :)
