Pouches & Pretties by Pam-Pam

I am excited to be a part time vendor at the new Elkins Farmers Market.
Sat 8-1pm through October 10.
I hope you can come see us!

✨ Vendor Spotlight ✨

There’s just something special about getting to know the hands and heart behind what you’re buying—and today we’re shining a light on one of our wonderful vendors!

Meet: Pam with Pouches and Pretties by PamPam

Located here in Fayetteville, Arkansas, each one-of-a-kind tote bag is handmade using primarily rescued, repurposed, and vintage upholstery that would otherwise end up in landfills.

As a part of Pouches and Pretties social purpose, for every tote bag sold, another is donated to our displaced neighbors who are unhoused, in women's shelters, or foster care. Each of these people were Created with Purpose and deserve the dignity of not carrying their life possessions in trash bags.

Pam is a part time vendor at the Farmers Market.

Be sure to pop in, say hello, and support this lovely small business. There’s just something about local shopping that makes every purchase feel a little more meaningful. 💛

So this week I delivered the first two patriotic bags to Mr Womack's office!! I was so nervous and excited!!

They loved them!
Their comments included.....

"Exceeded expectations."
"Very professional."
" I see love in every stitch."
" Wouldn't expect to find anything better if I went to a store."
"We trust you."

Mr Womack himself said he was "very impressed" and "couldn't wait to see the rest of them."

I feel so honored and blessed for this opportunity.

So much goes into bagmaking besides just fabric. Here I am stocking up on foam!!

Finished the 2nd patriotic bag! They wanted me to make 2 for them to see before I continue. Just to make sure we are "on the right track."

I sure hated this thing while I was sewing it. Mr Womack's staff picked out the fabric!!That detailed fabric is a challenge for my meticulousness!!

Now that it is finished, I love how it turned out!

Finished the first of 20 patriotic bags I am making for Congressman Steve Womack!

This is the front and back.
