As with most of 2020, plans have changed because of COVID. I was supposed to be a vendor at the local University Chapel & St. Thomas Mission Christmas Market, but with the new health regulations and protocols, the market had to be cancelled. Since then, I’ve been prepping to go “online”…but just locally. So, here we are!
Welcome to my “Online” Christmas Market stall!
2 NEW Totes added 12/12/2020!
There are a few things to keep in mind:
- Everything available is for pick up, so only local Vancouver, BC please.
- These are homemade tote bags. I relearned how to use a sewing machine and taught myself how to sew the different types available. They’re not going to be perfect, but they’re made with much time, effort, and love. (I am proud of my work! 😁)
- I found all fabric and sewing notions used to make these tote bags at FabCycle and Our Social Fabric, which are groups that work to keep textile waste down by taking them in to save them from landfill, and then making them available to the community to reuse or recycle creatively. (Isn’t this amazing?! Check out their websites for more information if you’re interested – they have online stores)
- Contact me personally via email: puaffections@gmail.com, Facebook: PUAffections , or Instagram: @puaffections if you are interested in a tote bag, and we can iron out the details and get your desired tote bag to you.
