I'm still sewing the 7 chef coats. This has turned into a long project. I have the name and logo embroidery to do also. I haven't done any real digitizing so reproducing the logo is going to be a challenge. I can have it done for $60 but I'm a little too tight for that at the moment! We'll see how hard it is to digitize.
In other exciting news, I talked myself into a full-time sales position with a local sewing and vacuum retailer. They are the 3rd largest seller of Janome sewing machines in the US. Very progressive business and I think there will be some very good opportunities for me. I'll be one of the longarm specialist for Handiquilter. I know that the other salesperson went to Handiquilter University so it's possible I'll get to do that too. I start next Monday. In the meantime I still have some shows booked. The Fall Festival this past weekend was a real bust. After expenses, I made $30. I don't think the shows are the best market for the goods. I'll just continue to develop the line of merchandise for the retail outlets to which I have a commitment. That should keep me very busy!

The chef coats look fantastic and I know they will be appreciated.
Congrats on the new job, I know you'll knock their socks off.
What a shame the show wasn't a good venue, but those chef coats look very fine. Hope you love your new job! Congrats.
There were too many activities at the festival competing for participant's money. I still have a few more fall festivals so hopefully I will at least sell all the halloween aprons.
Congrats on the new job! They are lucky to have you. I see what you mean about all the buttons. Wow! They are looking good.
Chef's coats look great. I'll bet you can figure out some short-cuts or a program for the digitizing. Congratulations on the job. It sounds like quite a big step! Sorry the show didn't do much for you. I think shows are so individual and you can't ever predict what will happen with all the variables. It takes time to build a following, too. But at least you weren't $30 in the hole for the day!
Congrats on the new job! Sounds like it will be right up your alley. =) Sorry the fall show was a bust for you. Am glad tho that you didn't lose money on it.
Congratulations on your new job! I'm sure you'll be a winner!
