Latest Sewing Project

I created this tote bag last week, before I had to take my sewing break to clean my house and do yard work! I kept meaning to show it here, but kept forgetting. This is by far, my favorite tote bag. I love the fabric colors. It’s an oversized bag with lots of interior pockets and 2 exterior pockets. This would be great for toting projects around or for someone who enjoys a large purse.

I am selling this bag for $35 plus shipping.

Small Business Planning

I’ve been working hard along with my sisters to get our own business going, selling our handcrafted and hand sewn merchandise. It’s definitely not easy.

My husband is asking me if we have a plan. Well, yes, as a matter of fact we do. Is that plan in writing? No, but it’s something we discuss all the time. Having never done this sort of thing before, I’m always asking questions and looking to those who have done it for advice. I’m definitely open to suggestion!

If I were setting up an online business, I would be able to use the self-guided online SEO check list to make help me plan and make sure I have everything done that needs to be done. Instead, I’m having to figure it out on my own. Am I going to make mistakes? No doubt. In the end though, I just hope to be successful and sell what we make. We all enjoy sewing so much that we just want to sell it so we can make more!
