Going into December!

As I get ready to go into December, I have been sewing constantly. I make doll clothes for the 15" Bitty Baby, the 18" Dolls, the 12-12.5" Cabbage Patch, the 14-14.5" Cabbage Patch (including the Preemie), and both the 16" Kids Cabbage Patch Boy and Girl Doll.  

 My sewing machines are running all day and ideas are constantly going around in my head as to what to make next.

 No, I don't have all my Christmas shopping done yet because I am trying to help you conquor your list!

More to come!

Ebay / Etsy / Amazon Handmade

I started selling on Ebay on January 31,2002. The first thing I made was an embroidered patriotic star denim jacket. I wish I still had a picture of that! I decided that if it sold, I would list two more things. it sold right away! I started I was sewing two things for every one thing that I sold. Everything was handmade by me. Snowsuits were my top seller that year. Soon, I had an e-bay store. I was busy for many years. I started slowing down when I had to start saying "18 doll clothes" instead of using the brand of the doll that I was selling for. I believe that hurt my business because when people would search by brand name, they would not find me. The difficult thing was other people selling handmade clothes were still using the brand name (and still do) while I had my listings pulled. This year, things slowed down so much that I was paying more for fees then I was selling. It is sad to say but I finally decided to shut down my store. -----------------...

Black Friday? How to save money on doll clothes

It is that time of year! Sellers like myself work all year to stock up for what they may need for the upcoming Christmas holiday season.  ♥ Sales: Watch for deals on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, November 30th, and December 7th (small business Saturday). Right now I am offering free shipping on $35 purchases on both Etsy and Amazon.  On E-bay, I have most items marked down to $11.99! Regular prices would be $13.99 and up. At this time of the year, I look at what I have sold last year, look at what I sold this week, and plan my sewing accordingly. Thinking toward sales, I look at what I sold last year, count up what I sold this year, and decide what needs to be marked down. Anything I haven't made in the past month could be marked down. I look over what I have and decide. The dilemma is whether people simply want me to lower my prices, put my regular prices on sale, offer shipping bundles, offer a coupon off of a certain amount of sales, or to offer free sh...

Isabella- Bubble Romper!

As the weather is warming up, I decided to do some research to see which styles have been selling the fastest on Amazon Handmade. What I discovered was that I had sold out of all my romper styles and all my hair ties.   For fun, I designed this new pattern. It features a pull on style (no velcro) with the darling halter style ties.  The hair tie wraps around the dolls head and ties on. ISABELLA - shorter version  I put elastic around the leg holes. I absolutely love the halter style back! I was in  and decided to make one a little longer by adding a ruffle to the leg.  Isabella - longer version This one gathers in at the leg right before the ruffle. Here they are side by side. Aren't they darling? Now, I am deciding whether to try a boy style bubble romper. Find me on ETSY Find me on Amazon Handmade Happy Memorial Day! Lynnette adorabledolldesigns
