Made Sew Well

I'll be here and hope to see you.

🍁🧡 OUR LITTLE MARKET NEEDS OUR COMMUNITY! 🧡🍁

Join us this Saturday, October 24, from 8 AM–1 PM at Lakeside Market!

We have something wonderful happening right here in our community, and we'd love your help keeping it growing! ❤️

Every Saturday, local farmers, bakers, makers, artisans and small business owners bring their products, talents and hard work together under one roof.

But here's something we'd like to share with you...

Our attendance dropped considerably last Saturday, and we'd really love to see our community come out and support these wonderful vendors.

Markets like ours don't thrive on vendors alone. They thrive when neighbours come out, browse, shop, visit and support the people who work so hard to bring something special to our community.

You don't have to spend a fortune to make a difference. A loaf of bread, a homemade treat, a gift, or a few locally made goodies can mean so much to a small business owner.

🍂 THIS SATURDAY AT LAKESIDE MARKET:

🛍️ All vendors are INSIDE!

☕ Fresh coffee and treats by donation!

🌭 Cash BBQ featuring hotdogs and hamburgers!

🎨 Last day for our children's colouring contest!

❤️ Wonderful local vendors with plenty to discover!

We would love to see Lakeside Market become a Saturday morning tradition in our community. A place to shop local, catch up with neighbours, enjoy a coffee and support the hardworking people who make our area special.

And if you can't make it this Saturday, sharing this post and inviting a friend would mean the world to us!

📍 927 St. Joachim L'Association
2722 County Road 42, Lakeshore

📅 Saturday, October 24 | 8 AM–1 PM

📞 Questions or vendor inquiries? Contact Sandy at 519-903-7404.

Let's show our local vendors that our community is behind them! ❤️

We hope to see you Saturday!

You don't have to be a hobo to enjoy this durable Crescent Hobo Bag.

But you will enjoy venturing out knowing that all your 'stuff' is securely stored.

✨️ Rugged denim and canvas but still fashionably slouch.

Slip your sunnies 🕶in the front angled pocket.

Pack your smaller items in the interior zipper pocket.🔑👛

The main compartment is perfect for a larger wallet, hairbrush, 📔, ereader, etc.

And for extra safety, your 📱 can be kept in the rear zipper pocket.

DM to claim and I can bring it to market this week or arrange for pickup/ delivery.

Lower frustrations by being prepared for the next rainy day market event.

A lot of time is spent planning and sewing my unique sewn items. The last thing I want is to have a 🌬 or 🌧 storm damage them.

I'm sharing my vendor experience and tips so you can be ready if you come to a wet, muddy site or sell during a rain storm.

🌧 Plan ahead to bring the following items to keep you and your merchandise protected and dry.

1. A change of 👚👖and 👟 will help you stay comfortable in your booth.

2. A waterproof layer such as a raincoat is needed for set ups and take downs. A light weight dollar store poncho is my preference and can be easily replaced.

3. Any table or display exposed to moisture benefits from covering with a large clear, vinyl sheet. Different size binder clips keep it in place when secured to a table top, tent post, wooden crate, etc.

4. Large garbage bags work to encase bins and products transported to and from your tent.

5. Baby wipes rescue signs with drippy messages and spot clean items that have fallen to the ground.

6. Wooden table legs won't soak up water if they're elevated by furniture sliders.

7. Before packing up a tent, use beach towels to wipe off most of the accumulating water on tent walls and the top so less drains into the back of your vehicle.

Having a similar wet weather kit available in a waterproof tote makes enduring bad weather events much more tolerable.

📲 SHARE and SAVE if you found this helpful.

💬 COMMENT with YOUR favourite handy item or how you handle weather issues.

There's more than one way Made Sew Well bags and accessories sell; do you know all the ways to claim one? 🛍

📖 Be sure to read through to the end so you don't miss anything.

1. If you live locally, you can pop into between 9-2 or another event and choose from a variety of bag and accessories on display. 👝👜🎒
Be aware though, that regular market attendees come early 🕘to scoop up the best finds. They know that certain unique items sell out early.
Attendees also include cross border shoppers and tourists looking for quality items at a great price.

2. If you come to my posted markets and events you can inquire about a custom order for a bag like that shown, in a different colour or print. Sample fabrics and notions help guide your selections. 🎨

3. Or we can discuss a similar bag choice and design a favourite together.

4. 👀 If you see something you like that I've sewn and posted on Instagram, reach out to check its availability and how you can buy it/ receive it.

5. 📲 Follow and regularly visit my site to see the most recent releases and secure your very own with a deposit, with the balance due upon receipt for personal deliveries and pickups.

6. My bags can also be shipped across Canada.🇨🇦

7. Share my Instagram link with a bestie or partner and let them know your wishes. 💖

8. Buy a gift card so the recipient can have fun shopping. 🎁

9. Comment LIST to get updates and sales info for VIP customers via email. I promise not to bombard you... just the essentials.

***10. Several of my items are now carried Collective on 451 Front Road in LaSalle Ontario.

I hope this helps. Please reach out if you have any questions.
