Looking forward to the BrisStyle Indie Markets

Its been a busy week here at PretaPawte as we recover from our YDM market preparations.

As you can see from the photos below Alvin is a hard task master and he had me working (under his watchful eye) at the sewing machine day and night getting the stock ready for the market.


As a team we managed to get everything done and the market was a success. We got plenty of positive feedback, some well earned sales and some great ideas to have an even better stall next month.

Speaking of next month, if you missed us at YDM then drop on down to Racecourse Rd, Hamilton on the 4th July to see us and lots of other great BrisStyle girls at the BrisStyle Indie markets.

Tangled up in blue...

So now Im goin back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenters wives.
Dont know how it all got started,
I dont know what theyre doin with their lives.
But me, Im still on the road
Headin for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.

Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan 1974

That's the theme for today.

I've managed to add some great new blue collars to the PretaPawte dog collar range just in time for the Young Designers Market this Sunday at Southbank.


I have around 6 "never before seen" new designs coming out for display at the market on Sunday.

I look forward to seeing all of PretaPawte's Brisstyle friends and hope to get around to all of your stalls. If we haven't met then please come and say hi.

T Minus 7 days to the Young Designers Market

Only one week to go until our market debut. Thought we'd try a small local market to start with.. the SouthBank Young Designers Market! I hope it's not too much to handle...

I'm off to Sydney tonight for work and not back in Brisbane until Tuesday night so we've had a staff meeting today to make sure that things keep ticking over in the Pret a Pawte workshop while I'm away.

It's one thing sewing to order and quite another sewing to build up stock in all of the fabrics and sizes. It doesn't help that while in Sydney last weekend I bought up big on new designs. I did get some great display ideas from some of the veterans at the Paddington Markets in Sydney.

I just hope I can trust the rest of the Pret a Pawte team to get on with things this week.

YDM, here we come!

PretaPawte take to the Young Designers Market

Its been a big week here at PretaPawte as we prepare for the the Young Designer Markets in three weeks time. Alvin has been cracking the whip this weekend as we have been in production mode. He found himself the perfect spot to oversee the work but couldn't undertand why him lying all over the fabric was slowing down the work.
He relectantly moved and did managed to find himself another spot that enabled him to be part of the action but slightly less in the way. It seems that quality control is tiresome work.
With next weekend and most of the following week in Sydney it looks like we will be burning the candle at both ends this week to ensure that we have enough of each design (and a few new ones) available for the market.

PretaPawte in a Treasury

After a relaxing weekend in Byron Bay involving, swimming scuba diving, eating and just general lazing around. I was pleasantly surprised to find that PretaPawte's Red and Black Polka Dot Dog Collar has been included in this cool treasury by bouji

The only downer from the weekend is that we can't pick up our little Alvin from the cattery until tomorrow afternoon. The house seems so quiet without his little paws bounding through the house.....but I guess Alvin probably needs time to enjoy his holiday too.

Blogs Unplugged @ Brisbane Stitches and Craft Show

We've left Alvin the Cat at home for the day and come into the Stitches and Craft Show at Southbank in Brisbane and they have this great little area set up for logging on and Blogging so..

There are some pretty serious sewing machine displays here. Some the price of a small car! My husband says no though :-(

It's good to see some fellow Brisstylers here and I am buying up a storm. Anyway I just thought I'd logon and blog, seeing they went to the trouble of putting computers here.

Talk to you all later, I'm off to look at more stuff!
