I met a lovely old dear the other day .
She told me she had seen my Catchit bag in a
magazine and how much she loved it .
If fact she loved it so much she wanted 3,
one for each of her great-granddaughters.
I tried to politely explain I only do the
patterns I don't take orders for the bags themselves.
Never mind about what patterns she said
I'd like one in greens,
and one in pinks ,
and do you have one in bluey greens
for the oldest one?
But , but I only sell the patterns !
I delivered her new Catchits on the weekend
and the old dear told me I was such a good girl
she would tell her friends !
If you would like to make your own Catchit bag
the pattern to make your own
is in my shop .
Hehehe. You softie you. You're going to be tied to the sewing machine Catchiting a storm for all of those grandchildren...
ReplyDeleteYour are a sweetie. You have made someone smile.
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Clare, I can sooooo relate. I don't sell my patterns, but have been trying to stop making bags to sell so that I can concentrate on making them for friends and family. But when asked and I open my mouth to say "NO", "Of course I can" comes out instead! :o(
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous Catchit bag at the top of the post. I can see why your friend wanted you to make them!
XOXO,
Cyndi
You are such a sweetie Claire. I had to have a giggle though. :) Hugs,
ReplyDeleteHa ha... have so been there, done that too. Unfortunately, in my case it came back to bite me on the butt!! Hope you fair better Clare and at least you made an old lady happy.

Hello Claire,
ReplyDeleteI think she was checking to see if the pattern worked three times.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
Oh you are SUCH a dear - that's just too funny! This remains my favorite pattern, I just love them!
ReplyDeleteI bet you had fun playing with those pretty fabrics and you got to make the old lady's day.
ReplyDeleteI think you just earned brownie points for the after life Clare AND you made some little old lady and her grand daughters very happy.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colours are red and black by the way ! lol
MARAVILLOSO trabajo!!
ReplyDeleteSaludos desde Tenerife.
You did your good deed for the day.
ReplyDeleteOh that's funny & I bet she knew all along you only sold the pattern. Funny how the word no forms in your mouth but sounds like a yes when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great when someone likes your ideas that much. I like a women who knows her mind, no beating about the bush.
ReplyDeleteThere must be something wrong with me as I would love to make the bags but not the patterns!
I do make up patterns but mainly for youngsters to use.
Your bag is very eye catching!
Clare, your a lovely lady:)
ReplyDeleteLol, you have to watch those dear little old ladies, they have a world of experience for knowing how to get what they want!
ReplyDeleteYou're such a sweetie for doing that but may I remind you that it's nearly mid year and by the time she tells all her friends it will be Christmas orders rolling in :P
Your bag is beautiful and you have made one great grandma very happy. How fortunate you are able to sew these as well as sell the pattern. Happy week ahead...
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous is that story!
ReplyDeleteI love it.
Gorgeous pattern too. x
I'll take 10 please! *grin* I'll make it easy....all in yellows.
ReplyDeleteLove your colours. You are just to kind
ReplyDeleteNaaaaaaw you're too nice! (Or old ducks are too demanding!) ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the bottom fabric combo, I wish she was my great-grandma!
LOL - what a sweetie you are!
