Time to get ready for Halloween!

Hi guys!

July 31, I start sewing for Halloween. I went on the Joann site and ordered fabric right before my August vacation. The fabric came right before I left so I was so EXCITED to open the box and get to work once I was home.


I try to make at least one thing out of the fabrics that I have in my Halloween box.













                                          My new fabrics!

                     Candy corn is always fun! This one came in purple!


                               Black and white skulls paired with a white Hooded Sweatshirt.
Halloween pumpkins paired with a hooded sweatshirt.

Monster Halloween skirt paired with a lace edged t-shirt.



                                           Tossed skulls paired with a hooded sweatshirt with ears!

















































Got to get back to sewing! Fall is the next to be arriving in my stores.

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...
