So, I spent the majority of my Sunday choosing and cutting fabric to increase my inventory of iPad covers and journal covers to sell. I tried this time to think more like the average consumer rather than with my unique aesthetic. I am not sure I completely succeeded in that, but there are definitely a variety of materials. Then I ran across my stash of embellishments. I also ran across some light weight leather and suede.
Now, I could use trims and things to make these items more unique and special...
Or, I could keep them simple and more plain. Maybe a mix of both?
What would you do?
It has not been a good year to sell handmade items in my area. I am still willing to give this a chance, but I am cautious. People say they like what I make, but they don't buy. Is it the economy? Is it my taste in materials?
