How to Set Up a Bazaar Workshop

When the work begins, so can the fun. As a group, you can complete bazaar items faster while enjoying companionship and an exchange of ideas and news.

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Notebooks
• Personal Organizers

1. Find a convenient location with a large work space and limited outside distractions.
2. Schedule a time convenient for most group members several months in advance of the bazaar. Allow several hours for each session - usually an entire morning, afternoon or evening.
3. Take patterns, materials and craft tools, and ask members to bring fabric and trim scraps, patterns or even their sewing boxes.
4. Set up workstations. Some articles can be made on an "assembly line."
5. Keep the atmosphere casual by providing background music if everyone wants it and refreshments set away from the work materials.
6. Schedule additional sessions as required. Ask for volunteers to take materials home and continue working on projects between workshops.
