I am a SAHM and have been making some crocheted baby items since May. So far I have a bunch of fleece blankets with crocheted trim on them, baby hats, baby booties, and I just found a pattern and started making baby bibs. How much would you pay for these items?

Also I have made some small change purses (like 2×3 with a handle long enough to slip over my head), and some coffee cups sleeves (to replace using double paper cups or cardboard sleeves for hot cups). I have been charging each for these. Is that too much?

Not getting many responses in the business section.

I’m going to sell designer clothes and high quality baby items in an upscale area in south Florida.

Young & Mod
Young with Flair
Posh & Young

Young & Posh is taken and it was my first choice. I wanted to incorporate "Young" which is my last name. And if you have any suggestions please let me know. I’m not really into the cutesy rhyming names lol.
I will also be selling clothes for toddlers as well.
Posh & Young is available, Young & Posh is not.

Need baby item patterns- bibs, sling, etc?




Hi!
I am looking for free patterns to sew my own baby items- I want to make bibs, a baby sling to carry the baby in, a diaper stacker, bumper pad, and I need to make some cloth diaper covers and soakers.
If you have any links to online patterns or if you have any patterns you can email to me, I’d really appreciate it.
I only have a small sewing machine, but it should be enough to make some baby items. I have a lot of gently used receiving blankets from my son, and want to turn them into something useful for baby #2… thanks!

I delivered my son 7yrs ago and right after completing my 4th month, i started shopping bit by bit for him. Everyday i would go for a small walk and collect things like booties, mittens, changing mats etc. I collected them one by one as i went for walking everyday and loved doing that bit of shopping every day for my baby.All the other major things i purchased when i went for a big shopping with my husband. I even packed my baby’s bag when i was just 30weeks.Now i am pregnant again and i am in my 24th week and ive already collected some decent amount of things for my baby. I am just curious to know what yall did/do.I mean in which month/week did you start your shopping & what are all the things that you had already got for that little bundle of joy of yours? :-) I am all excited and just looking at all those tiny stuffs… be it in internet pictures or in the shops. Oh they all look so lovely. And shopping for baby items excites me. How about sharing your excitement and experience? :-)

I am trying to begin a home buisness saleing hand made baby items like diaper bags, toddler bags, name banners, small baby quilts, and bib gift sets. All items would be cross stiched. Toddler bags and diaper bags would come with bottle/sippy elastics and velcro closers. They would also be personalized with a name and designs like dinosaurs, butterflies, ballarinas, farm/ tractor, princesses, sports, and Precious momments. The bibs would be grouped in two per set and framed. They would feature, storks or nursery rhymes, etc. The banners would be easy to hang and the colors would be customizable. They would also feature the designs found on the bags.

Since there are so many parents on here, I just wanted to ask. Would you be interested in something like this for your child? If so, please tell me how much you would pay per bag, bib set, name banner, and quilt.

Thank you.

In a bad economy, we all want to save. With that in mind what would you most likely to buy from the internet? Explain your choice.

*food? what kind?
*cloths?
*vitamins? what kind?
*pharmacy items?
*baby items?
*literature? what kind?

If none of the above is appealing, then what would you buy and why?

What type of internet do you buy from now?

How much do you waste on groceries, and baby items?




So I have this assignment for health class…between me and "my husband" we make 70.00 per month. We have to have enough money for ourselves and our baby.

So basically we waste

450.00 on apt rent
150.00 for electricity
25.00 for water

How much do you waste on groceries?

How much do you waste on diapers? formula milk? baby clothing?
Fine, how much do you SPEND on groceries and baby items
