The Sewing Mom

While I haven’t been sewing much lately, now that I’ve lost my job, I feel renewed and re-energized in the sewing department and am back to creating totes and other items. Over the weekend, I created a beautiful (at least I think so) tote bag that I’ll be sharing with you soon, and yesterday, I cut the fabric pieces to start sewing my 25 Days of Christmas project.

I sell my items directly from this website and from my Etsy shop and a big question is always if I will ship internationally. My answer is, absolutely yes! While it does take more effort on my part and the shipping cost is higher, if someone wants one of my tote bags or purses, I’m going to do what I can to get it to them. What I usually end up doing is getting the recipient’s mailing address, taking my package to the local post office and getting the exact shipping rate. I then provide that information to the buyer and they can make their final decision, which, so far, has always been YES!

Another method I could use would be to ship the item to mail forwarding located in California, who would in turn forward it on via USPS Priority, Express or FedEx with big discount. I will be checking into this to see if it could save on shipping costs for the buyer.

In the mean time, I’m anxious to get sewing and I’ll be posting my progress!
