This summer I finally created my Etsy shop TatteredSlippers. It has been an interesting journey trying to figure out how to create a banner, trying to curb my computer frustrations which are complicated by my lack of computer skills and learning how to take my love of sewing and turn it into a business. I am trying not to feel disappointed in not making a sale yet. I have met some incredibly creative people in the Etsy forums and even created a beautiful treasury once that led to a couple sales for another Etsy shop owner. It seems that I may have the knack for making sales for others :).
My shop is stocked with items that were first created for myself. I sewed myself a lovely wrap skirt that I could wear in dance class. I am a ballet teacher and just got tired of trying to find wrap skirts that were a colour other than black and did not cost me an hours wage! Therefore, I have sewn quite a few unique wrap skirts for my shop.
I have begun to study yoga seriously with the hopes of getting certification to teach it in the near future. I wanted a unique yoga mat tote so I sewed one for myself. I loved it so much I thought I would make a few for my Etsy shop.
Other little totes and baby items were just little inspirations that came to me.
I am interested to see if sales will pick up as we get closer to Christmas?
