I am lucky enough to live near a weekly farmer's market that creates a lot of foot traffic during the spring and summer. I certainly don't make enough to support myself doing the weekly sales but I can definitely make some extra spending money. Last summer I sold almost all of my inventory so I have had to spend the last few weeks making new items to sell.
I have always had small pouches or changes purses made up to sell. I remade a bunch of my old pattern last week. This week I wanted to make something a little different. I have been taking online classes from Alisa Burke for about a year and love her style. I decided to create a big piece of painted canvas to cut up and sew into different sized pouches.
I used a piece of canvas drop cloth (from the hard ware store) and slowly built up layers of drizzles, drips, splats, doodles, printing and writing. I used acrylic paint, ink and sharpies.
I have a variety of sizes cut up and ready to sew.
