I was talking to my mum earlier last week, she's just started making and selling baby hats, so we were talking about how business was going. My shop hadn't had a sale since the beginning of June. I think my mum has sold two of her baby hats. I said that I didn't expect to sell anything at the weekend as the weather was supposed to be nice (yes, we've actually been having summer here in Scotland!). I thought everyone would be outside enjoying the weather. I think I jinxed myself, in a nice way! On Friday two of my favourite nappies sold, then during the weekend I had two sales of the cloth pads I uploaded. I sold ten items altogether and now there's almost nothing left in my shop!
I haven't been doing much shop related stuff lately, but actually selling stuff gave me a boost. I spent yesterday embroidering some nappies. I embroidered an owl which could have been amazing, but just didn't work out. For some reason the bobbin thread kept showing, especially on very intricate parts of the design. I don't know why it does that. I've embroidered on the exact same fabric with the exact same settings and not had that problem. Apparently slowing the speed down can help, so maybe I'll try the owl again. I embroidered the wolf design again because he was pretty popular before. He's on pale blue this time. I also embroidered robots, dogs and a grumpy cat. I finished the cat at 1am this morning. I'm looking forward to seeing them sewn up.
One of them has a heart! I thought that was cute.
This is on pale blue but it looks as if it's white here. I really need to get some more white PUL.
These dogs are on a pale yellow, which isn't as bright as it looks here.
So cute! I think he or she still needs some of the threads cut. This one is my second try because I completely messed up the first time.
I also have a bunch of stuff to upload to the shop. Some more cloth pads and a fitted nappy. If the blazing sun ever disappears I'll be able to get the photos taken. I need some more fabric to finish off my other fitted nappies. Now I actually have some cash to buy fabric!
I decided that it might be a good idea to stock my shop once a month. I can spend a week or two making things during the month and then I'll upload them at the beginning of the month. I'll try to get some stuff uploaded by the end of the week to count as July's stocking. Better get to it...
