At every market I attend, multiple customers will comment on the number of zippers I’ve had to install, or the amount of work involved to produce the bags I have available. And they’re right - it is a lot of work, but I always mention that I’m a production sewer. Production for me means that I’ve batched all of the steps to optimize my time and minimize the movement needed to produce each bag. At the yesterday, I brought about 100 mostly finished bags to work on between customers, turning them, and pinning the turning hole. Today I’ll take this big batch of bags and sew the turning holes closed, trim threads, flip them right side out, and package them for outstanding customer orders, consignment orders and my website. This process is not for everyone, but it is definitely for me 🥰
