Custom orders have kept me quite busy this past week so I've been a little behind in my blog posts. Today I finally finished up my last handbag, a custom order going out to Switzerland that will be shipped tomorrow. It's a gift for a September birthday. About a month ago I decided to officially take on custom orders and it has been a success. So far this month half my sales were custom bags. They take a bit more time in the planning stage as I often need to send several emails back and forth to a potential customer to make sure to get all the details correct. I also have to check my stock of fabric and make sure I have enough yardage to produce a bag before I commit to an order. In the end it is satisfying to know a customer is getting exactly what they want. Custom orders rock!

I've decided not to take custom orders since this summer: most of my custom work has been fun but I those few overly demanding customers just made the process a drag. But then, I'm working on two that can be called custom (a variation of existing designs) so I'm not sure how set I am in that decision :)
Have a lovely sunday ....
I haven't had a lot of time for blogging lately because of the new kitten but even more so because my husband and I have been working hard to locate and befriend the pretty calico cat who was the victim of cruelty. Today our efforts really paid off because she came to our yard, ate here and let my husband pet her! We hope to be able to take her to our vet in a week or so.
Keep up the lovely work!
I agree custom orders rock.
Bike is so funny Elisa
