You guys, I have some exciting news! I’ve been doing a lot of sewing, and in mid May I plan to open an Etsy shop! I have been collecting second-hand and vintage fabric and sewing it up into these cute little elasticated waist skirts. I’ll be selling mini, midi and maxi varieties! The skirt above was the first one I made, and I just love the sixties fabric. It’s been so much fun having a big project like this to work on, and although I don’t expect to be making a living wage from selling on Etsy, it feels so good to be taking my employment into my own hands to some extent.
My yellow sewing machine makes sewing a lot more fun!
My fabric stash is getting a little out of control…
Just some of the beautiful fabrics that I’ve picked up this month
I have to say, it’s handy having an excuse to browse car boot sales and charity shops weekly, and I’m definitely getting to know my sewing machine a lot better (and it’s limitations – I wish it let me adjust the width of my stitches.) I’ll keep you updated with my progress, and when I expect to open. Wish me luck!
Fantastic!!! Congratulations, I can’t wait to see what you come up with:)
Great news! Congratulations,

Aw Congrats! You make a good job and those fabrics are very beautiful. I just hope one day i can have an online shop like you.

I’ll be interested to see what you think of Etsy. I’ve been selling vintage and homemade chocolates there for about 2.5 years and have enjoyed it a lot. In some ways it’s more work than I expected and it can be kind of depressing at the beginning, when nothing seems to be happening and no one is buying. Plan to stick with it for awhile!
AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to purchase everything XXX
