Need ideas

[sandykay]

OK, this weekend I wasn to update my website and get my etsy store going, but I need some ideas.

This is what I do at the moment:

Camo purses and Tote bags
Diaper bags (camo and kids patterns)
Deployment Journals
Support Bracelets (all sizes)
Name bracelets (all sizes, concentrating on baby)
Baby items (burp cloths, cloth diapers)
Enbroidered towels and towel sets

I want to really try and concentrate on doing stuff with embroidery (I my embroidery machine)

So this is what I want to add:

Passport pouches
Bride to be totes (keep all planning stuff together)
Bridal party embroided blouse (great for hair and makeup on wedding day)
towel beach wraps
library book bags

All these I can do in Military support (camo or plain fabric with embroidery) or general fabric. So what I need help with is, suggestions on what I should keep, add (from the want to add list) and get rid of, and other suggestions on what to add.

I love all your ideas! Post the website URL when you get up and going! When I'm a little farther along and know the sex of my baby I DEFINITELY want to order an ACU print diaper bag from you for my hubby to use!

I saw you put beach towel wraps, but how about beach bags, you can do book bags/ messenger bags, lunch boxes, travel jewerly pouches, cases for contact containers (ive seen them at coach), baby blankets, pillow cases, uhmm thats all i can think of now, if i think of anything else ill come back to the thread

[CAITstoppable]

do you have a website like an etsy or something where you sell your stuff?

I think you could make something like flower girl bags too and junior bridesmaids. As I think of more stuff I promise I will come back!

Keep talking..... what about a bridal set?
Ring pillow
Garter
small pouchy handbag for bride and b/maids
basket w/liner for cards/envelopes at reception
anything else....?????

How much would you charge for something like that? Do you think you could do it with names, date, and the double-heart thing, all in silver?

And tell me about the bridal party blouse thing? What is that?

I might commission you for a set of stuff, let's gather some ideas. We're still working toward about the location of the ceremony and reception, and also the honeymoon. I'm going to toss out the idea of a cruise to Miami and Cozumel, so maybe beachy tote-things they could slap on their back while they rent a scooter?

Here is one of the blouses I have done. I did them for mine and my aunts weddings and everyone commented on them when we were having out hair and makeup done and because the button down the front there is no messing us hair or makeup (and a quick trip to the store to get lunch before my aunts wedding). I did Bride, Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom, Maid of Honor, Bridesmaid, Jr. Bridesmaid and Flowergirl ones


I can put name, dates, hearts and I just got some silver thread. I'll do a sample for you. Not sure on price, but I think we could work something out.
Oh just a suggestion, for the bonbonaires for my brothers wedding they had napkins embroidered with their names and the date and tied them with some ribbon and put a chocolate with it. You could do something like that but put the name of the person attending and use them like place cards too (I'll do a sample for you)
