Handmade Market Overview and Makers Day
We will start the meeting by covering all your questions regarding the Handmade Market coming up November 21-22. We will provide a survey of prices by category for items that sold in previous Markets, as well as answer any questions about logistics. Vendor tickets and instructions will be available.
After the overview, all Bayside members are invited to stay and sew items that will be sold at the Handmade Market. 100% of the proceeds from these items will be contributed to Bayside. Kits, demonstrations and instructions will be provided. This is a great opportunity to support the guild and will only involve an hour or two of your time. There are some fun projects and kits, and you might even learn something new!
