Re: Do you sell the totes/purses that you make?
I do sell my tote bags. It started off by me making myself a purse (with a bow!!) and then somebody wanted one of those. Then I made myself a bow tucks bag and about sixty people wanted one of those! I could make those in my sleep. The first one I made myself took about six hours, I can do one start to finish in under two hours now.
I have seen people selling this same tote on Etsy and they are priced at $40-$45....I sell mine for $65 and they tell me I need to charge more! Mind you, mine have fake suede for the bottoms, theirs are all cotton. I don't know if they are actually selling theirs on Etsy, but I know, I sew mine as they are ordered, with colors chosen by the buyer (I pick the fabric out).
I have now designed a pattern myself and yesterday I got two orders on that one without even trying! I was just carrying it around. People have stopped me in stores to ask about them....I really need to get business cards made.
As far as your bow goes, I like it....some may not, as shown here.
pat.
No rain....no rainbows!
