I'm not planning on anything very big, just selling a few items a month. Maybe about 5 bags, some shirts, and whatever else. Not to "make a living" or try to create a "real job". Mostly for my own entertainment, and possibly even extra cash.
My ideas:
I'm thinking an etsy store, get the boyfriend to help me out on the web details, make it look nice. I'll probably start out under "liz day love", since it's simple and it works for me. He's also helping me make a few web banners to link to the site, so hopefully some of you will post them to your myspaces and such. I'll make a few tote bags, I'll use some basic designs and just change the fabrics up on each one. I like to use corduroy for the outside, with a printed cotton liner. Get a few nice pictures of those, and maybe a few with some friends modeling (I already have a few in mind :) ). Then I'll do a few stencil shirts, I'm going to try to get some nice 100% cotton shirts. I don't want any Jerzees crap, I want something decent. I'm looking into dyes, I'd love to hand dye my shirts so they'd all be somewhat unique. A few designs in the works include owls, zebras, and an octopus. Not too original, I know, but we'll see how they turn out ;) I'm also going to do what I can to soften the shirts, wear them in a bit, because I just adored that loved in feel.
Any comments?
