the design fair at RED ERIC studios was yesterday with Jess, and it really brought me down a few pegs. i had this image in my head that it was going to go amazingly, and that i would sell a fair few things, but in fact it didn't go very well at all. i only sold one purse, and it was to my old house mate! oh joy! i think the way we laid out our stall was amazing, and the product was good, (even if there was not much choice with sizes) and i think me and Jess acted very professionally, but the customers were just not coming through the doors! i think this was because of the poor location of the studio and the lack of advertising. It was a shame as we both put so much work in before hand to make this as perfect as we could, which unfortunately has made me spend less time on my current tailoring project (but i will catch up i promise!!). I will continue to try with this little sideline project as i have really enjoyed designing and making clothes to sell in my own style, but i will have to work even harder in future to make it work!
