I'm more than happy to cut my fabrics out, but I'd rather leave the quilting, zippering and seaming to do all at once.

It's so good to read your comments on how these production lines really work. I find it so dispiriting to do that I'm always limiting myself to one-offs. Every time someone says, why don't you sell your creations? All I see before me is a dreaded production line! Handmade is supposed to be about the unique item anyway - good luck with your happy medium! :) KKylie @ 3 sheetshttp://profile.typepad.com/6p01156fd8b30b970cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342389434943195539.post-13982769914005873612009-09-04T01:15:54.000+10:002009-09-04T01:15:54.000+10:00Taking Shape nicely!

But I'm not out to make millions, so I guess it's ok if I go slow. That just makes the end product that much more special, right? Like your sketches.

I also have to find more balance and concentrate on quality rather than quantity. There are limits to 'handmade' whether its art or craft- I had to accept that and work with it and just 'trust' that it will somehow be enough!<br>Have a lovely day,<br>Annamariaannamaria potamitihttp://annamariaart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
