Etsy shop stuff

ok I'm thinking about doing the etsy thing BECAUSE I need to feed my addiction. Like I'm thinking if I could sell a couple of my little zipper pouches then I could put that money towards MORE fabric. and you know I'm a fabric whore.



So much stuff goes into this etsy stuff and because while I'm a total willy nilly hot mess - I tend to overthink things.

like how much to charge.

and custom orders

and shipping.

Oh and a name.

I posted on Facebook that I'm taking name recommendations and you guys are awesome and hilarious. Feel free to add to the suggestions because I'm still thinking. Winner gets a free zipper pouch.

I totally don't want this to be a thing that I shove down y'alls throats just letting you in on what I've got going on.

I once had an active etsy shop a million years ago - so I just need to do some housekeeping. You can see it HERE - I had a whopping 7 sales. go me.

Nichole said...

Well, you have sold more than me! I just cannot get motivated to get my store going! LOL Good luck with it though! They are super cute, so I know you will sell a bunch of them!!

WhisperingWriter said...

You make cute stuff!!

Good luck with selling :)

Miss Angie said...

You should totally do it, and I've already suggested like a million names too... Well not a million, but a few! Haha!

That one girl said...

Yeah, shipping freaks me out.

I suck at the name thing. Go ahead and pouch me?

Crazy Me said...

Pouch Me Up

Sew My Pouch

Frey My Edges

That's what I got for now...thinking...will be back for more possibly not lame names!

MiMi said...

Girl I'm telling you,
You Don't Know Craft!!
And do it with the same kind of header as your blog. Easy peasy. And cute. :)

Kerri said...

u should go for it! u can always adjust ur prices if nothing sells but i doubt that will happen they are cute!!

stephanie said...

You're stuff is adorable- it will be a huge success!

stephanie said...

And apparently I'm tired because by "you're" I definitely meant YOUR

That corgi :) said...

I think that is neat you are considering doing an eTSY shop again! I think with anything if you have a product people are looking for, it will sell. And those pouches are just the cutest!! I look forward to hearing what the name will be when you choose it!!

RESPECT THE POUCH!!!!

Then you can make some pouches out of capri sun packages - I am sure "g" could help you out with that one!

Raven said...

I'm coming up with a big blank on the name idea. Sorry. The pouches are cute though. You fabric whore, you.

Impulsive Addict said...

You are totally gonna get rich and leave the blogging world. I just know it. I'm not a fan of that idea just so you know...

Cerise said...

Shipping terrifies me, I guess you could look around and see what other people charge. I like MiMi's idea of "You Don't Know Craft". Perfect.

Kate said...

Ok, I've always wanted to do an etsy store, but I'm afraid I couldn't sell or I wouldn't be able to keep up. So way to go!

Also I love the "you don't know craft" idea. Very cute and funny!

Debby@Just Breathe said...

I think it's a great idea. When you get some owl pouches let me know!

You don't know I sew! (I see Amber said something similar) First thing that came to mind was
"Sew This"

Beth said...

As for what to charge, I have been told that a 300% retail markup is standard (so double or triple the cost of materials and there ya go). :D
I can't wait!
