Market Weekend
Welcome to the grand finale of the Behind the Seams Tour. It’s Market Weekend!
This is a way to explore and support small sewing businesses after a month of finding out what it’s really like to run one.
So browse through the videos, giveaways and discounts on offer, explore the businesses’ websites, and I hope you enjoy.
I’m sure I speak for all the small businesses here when I say we really couldn’t do this without you, and we appreciate every single one of you. Thank you for joining us!
