So I've made arrangements to be able to sell some things in a local shop looking for locally made items for a portion of the store. I'm very pleased with this and happy to be involved in a shop with this in mind.
The its will be baby carriers (mei tei's and ring slings), butterfly fitted diapers, swim diapers, some fitted leg prefolds for 0-3 months and some woolies. The initial stocking will be small but if successful I will make more and will make items to order also. I won't be selling clothes on shop but will do items to order through here.
I spent a lot of time looking at fabrics particularly for the baby carriers. In the end I've ordered all organics from simplifi fabrics. It's a choice I feel better about on several levels. The swim diapers aren't organic of course, but the rest will be.
It is a little scary! I'm a low income mama. Putting out cash I could use to make money with no magic ball to see it will all turn out is nerve wrecking! And I still have to go buy some wool.
Well we will see what does and doesn't sell I guess. Wish me tonnes of luck folks and check out the items as I make them. Also items will not be sold in the US. Sorry folks, its easier then going through testing on baby carriers etc.
