The final task...

Yesterday, I got together with Joyce and Evalyn, the other two ladies I worked with on the Golf shoe bag project. We met at Joyce's house to put together 80+ sets of golf shoe bags, tissue covers, eyeglass cases and Evalyn's 'Cool Collars', plus biz cards and collar instructions. What a blast! We had it all done in a little over an hour and it is now ready to be picked up by the client. Here are some pix of the three of us and the bags:

These are some of the bags before we 'stuffed' them.

That's Evalyn on the left, Joyce on the right, and me hiding in the back. Joyce's husband was kind enough to man the camera.

Joyce is playing 'Vanna' here...

Don't we look happy? We are! We're done!

Here are the bins of 'Stuffed' bags, waiting to be picked up.

What I didn't get pix of is the three of us moving down the assembly line and stuffing the bags. We didn't run into each other even once! Way ta go, gals!

Chicken Feathers?

Whoa! My workroom looks like someone has been plucking chickens! I've been cutting the linings for the golf shoe bag project, and the last batch is long-haired and white... what a mess!


This is a picture of my friend Joyce, who started this whole thing and me holding the last bag cover for the project. On the work table to the right, you can see a couple of pieces of fur lining, and ALL OVER MY BROWN CARPET are shreds of fur! Needless to say, once I am totally done (I'm thinking by Wednesday), the whole room is getting a thorough cleaning! Hard to believe that we've only been working on this project since April 24, and we should be completely done by the end of next week... 90 bags, 90 purse-sized tissue holders, 90 eyeglass cases, and 90 'cool collars' ... two weeks ahead of schedule! Woo-hoo! By my count, I've gone through close to 12 sewing machine needles and about 4 rotary blades, and countless bobbins-full of thread, and close to one cone of thread for the top of the machine. Oh, and over 60 yards of webbing for the zipper pulls and bag handles... good grief! I'm thinking I will enjoy a little kick-back time after this, and Joyce promises that lunch is on her! Oh, and for Evalyn too, who did all the zippers, and is responsible for attaching the linings to the bags... we BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!
