We hit a huge milestone late last week… long story short: following the first 4 bags that I wrote about earlier – we had some small adjustments to make on our needs for the fabric cutting. Adjustments done… cutting for this bag’s solid fabrics are en route.
The solid fabrics are all being cut by a professional, using a dieless cutting table. But for the “First 100”, all of the printed fabrics were cut by hand. While there were several people that chipped in to help get some of the printed fabric cut – the vast majority of the cutting was done by me.
This was a task that took far more time than I had ever imagined that it would. It was not easy. It physically hurt my hands, and my back. Night after night – after getting the kids down for bed — I turned my kitchen table into an entrepreneur’s cutting table… and I got to work. No matter how frustrating it was when the cutting would hit its slow points, there was one thing that would always make me smile: it is extremely satisfying that I can say, for these First 100 bags — I’ve touched all of them.
