Feeling good about getting stuff done! This is the fourth bag of this particular style that I've made (which is missing it's strap) and this time I'm getting paid :) The same coworker I made the knit toddler hat for also asked for a bag and some custom shirts for her daughter as well. Need to take pictures yet of the shirts, but am super excited about this bag! I love this fabric!What I'm really excited about is how "into it" people are about my handmade stuff. Little A got her birthday onesies and comments were made on how nice they were and to find somewhere to sell them. A few other coworkers have asked about hats. And tonight at a school Thanksgiving feast someone else was really encouraging about finding a way to sell these things.
We went to a craft fair/show at one of the high schools here. I was expecting lots of handmade stuff, but most of it was at home parties like Mary Kay and Pampered Chef (which are all a lot of fun, but not so crafty). Hoping to get some stuff made and try sell my stuff at one sometime in the spring. Here's a few things I think would do well . . .
- my bobby pins
- bags
- hats
- onesies/toddler shirts
- burp clothes
- peepee teepees
- and take custom orders
Anyone else have ideas? What would you buy?
people LOVE bags, so I would certainly stick to the bag-making, but paper products are a big hit too. little notepads and notecards are always a fun favorite with the lady-folk :)
