Should I sell or should I keep ?

 Should I sell or should I keep ?

Mum found this amazing material for me, just £1.00 for approx 2 metres.  Its a heavy fabric with red/maroon  furry bits, the beige is grainy in texture.  You can see I like material by texture and look, couldn't give you the name of it.   Couldn't believe my luck, so I made a bag, just a simple one with a liner ( that's so the seems are not visable). 

Its not quite finished as it needs a button and a button hole, then a quick whizz around the top edge to finish it off.  But I am soo excited by it . . . .  ( gosh I am also sad to be sooo sooo happy - get a life Sara !!)





I love it, the only problem now is that I want it. 

It fits across the body so comfortably. . .  I think I really made it for me . . . and although I have lots of material left ( this was going to be for cushion) I could make another bag . . . but that too I should really keep for the stall.
Am I mumbling on  . . . . 

So should I put it in the cupboard and use it for my stall on the green in the summer, or should I keep it ?

All thoughts welcomed.

Cheers
Sara

  1. Keep it! It makes a change for sewing-istas to make something for themselves. When you wear it out you'll be a 'walking advert' for your work (keep a business card to hand for when people ask). ;)

  2. Keep it. You love it and you did a great job sewing it. No one will ever appreciate it as much as you.

  4. Oh, keep it! It's absolutely adorable! How many times do we (as sewers) keep what we make? :)

  6. When a person loves something (and I love this too), you should either price it so high that no one would buy it, so you get to keep it anyway; or just wrap it up as a present and give it to YOURSELF because you are so lovely and talented, very deserving of a present. Love that pattern and fabric.
