This is so useful. I find that, on the whole, bag makers seem to not want to say how much they spent and how much they sell their bags for! So thank you for honest sharing.

I appreciate you sharing this information. I hope I don’t get tired of making the card holders because they’ve saved me at many craft shows. I use quilting cotton and that might be easier to work with than upholstery fabric. I’m going to try the supermarket bags next. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Christine, I do enjoy your sales reports. I am also thinking of trying to combine your supermarket shopping bags with your expandable shoe bags and have the sides fold like the shoe bags to make a larger bag for those wider boxes, etc. Don't know if it would work yet, but would love to hear your thoughts, Hope you are all well, busy time of year here, the summer guests have arrived on the island,

Always good to know that you are still managing to make and sell lots of items, even though the shop is open less hours that in the past. I'm still wanting to make the card holders and as you were showing them, my daughter walked passed behind me, so I had to show them to her and explain what they were for haha. Just thinking - it would be nice to see your Mum pop up in another of your videos. Best wishes from a miserable rainy UK. It's just after 00.15am and voting day later today, 4th of July, in our general election - England is in for a big shock I think 🤨🤐 (in my humble opinion).
