I made this little infant dress last night while I was waiting for Bren to get home from work. (Please ignore my makeshift hanger/hand...I really need to invest in a cute little baby hanger so my pictures aren't so darn amateur). My friend, Jane, challenged me to have five items to put in an Etsy shop by March 1st, so I think this is going to be one of those items. But I am NERVOUS. What if no one buys it? How embarrassing. And I can't figure out how to price it. I want to price it high enough to account for my time and money spent on fabric. But I don't want to price it so high that no one is interested (revert to fear #1).
Hmm. This etsy stuff is more stressful than I thought!

Okay, your little Etsy shop will be great!! I totally want to start one - I just have to work on a couple things first! I can't believe that you did that while you waited for him to get home!! I want to make one just like it, can you teach me??
It is adorable!!
It's so cute! If I had a little girl I would buy it! I can't wait to see your pinwheel quilt too!
You are so talented! I love that little dress.
Also... I was looking over some older posts and have to say that I love the sock monkey fabric on your monkey quilt. My mom made Luke a quilt out of that fabric. I love it!.... oh, and this is erin. jake is rarely found posting on blogs... haha
So cute. I miss the days where I had energy to do those things...someday in the future, I hope!
i love this dress. my sister was right, you are very talented. i think what ever you price it at ti will sell quickly.

It will be so great to see you on etsy. I sold banners for a while. It was fun becuase it was a lot of custom work but I didn't have to worry about shipping and such. I have been thinking of making some things for the shop but I have the same concerns as you. My shop is laurasue@etsy.com
I forgot to say the dress is darling. I love it. I would spend some time looking at other great etsy shops to help you decided on the right price. I have some etsy favorites for kids clothing if you would like to check those out.
You must teach me! That dress is fabulous! I need to make one for Elliot! What pattern did you use? We need to get together and sew! I am so excited you are making an Etsy shop!
It's so cute babe!! You always do great things with bright colors!! Remember the I Love America Painting winner?
I'd buy it. It's adorable.
The dress is darling!! I am so impressed with you and Mel and your sewing abilities! I think that you should have no problem selling boat loads of those cute dresses!! Good luck on the new business venture!
When are you going to start selling these adorable dresses?? I would love to get some cute little summer dresses for Zoie.
The dress is so cute! I swear you are going to make so much money selling them. For the price, you need to make sure you are making profit, but i wouldn't go too high. You need to have them cheaper than if they went into a little shop and bought them. Hurry up and get your little store open so i can start telling people about it!
taryn- that is darling! you're such a talented chica. i love it!
