DONE

The last few weeks have been filled with tons of sewing...over 30 hours! I'm so thankful for my sweet friend Keisha who offered to come help get these babies out the door. I will be delivering my first ever order to a local boutique tomorrow morning and I am thrilled! My hope is that they sell quickly and I can do this again in a few weeks. It has been so fun designing these skirts. No two are the same and a lot of thought goes into making each one special. The new fabrics are listed here on the blog and you can order a custom ruffle skirt by contacting me directly or leaving a comment here on the blog. I offer sizes 12 months to 12 years. Prices range fro $40-50 depending on size.

Slow and Steady

This business stuff is a lot harder than I expected and waaaaay more work than I was ready for! I am still enjoying it, just at a slower speed. I have thrown away a lot of "learning" projects over the past few weeks, but I am not giving up. I finally finished a dress my daughter has been begging for and I have been reluctant to make. Check out my Etsy shop and let me know what you think!

I finally have my business site up and semi-running. I still have some holes to fill but it is and probably always will be a work in progress.  I have started sewing little clothes to help save some money so we can eventually move to town :)  I don't have a ton of stuff in my shop yet but I am adding stuff weekly.  I will have boy stuff too.  Check out my new page and be a follower!

Humble Beginings

Everyone has to start somewhere.  I have been spending the past few months trying to figure out how all this is going to work. I kept going back and forth about Etsy, blog, website, Facebook...and just became completely overwhelmed.  I finally had to just take a step back and realize that this is not Macy's.  I am not some kind of big time seamstress with a stack of orders.  I'm just a girl who likes to sew clothes for my kid and thought others might like for me to one day sew something for their kid too.  So here I am. With a little bit of confidence in one pocket and some anxiety in the other,  I finally listed 2 things in my Etsy shop .  Again, everyone has to start somewhere, right? I am hoping to be able to add a few items per week to get some inventory and some sales.  I don't have huge expectations right now and I am super excited about just having 2 things available!  There is so much more worked involved in this than...
