Introduce yourself :)

[#1]

I'm 24 years old and I'm currently a college student majoring in Computer Science with emphasis on software engineering. I just opened my shop selling baby clothing and accessories in September. I spend most of my time studying, on my computer and sewing (as you can see, I'm not a very eventful person lol).

I have been crafting pretty much my whole life, but baby clothing is a new hobby for me. My mother also creates some of the items in my shop. I am working on getting her to sit down and write a bio for the shop.

I have been sewing since I was 8 years old, however; with school and life events I took a break for a few years. Recently I wanted to start sewing again, but I had no desire to make anything for myself so I figured baby clothing is perfect! I can be as creative as I want, they're small projects and what's cuter than baby clothing? Right?

So tell me about yourself! :)

Hi! My name is Shelby and I am a 20 year old mom. I currently am a stay at home mom with my 9 month old little boy. I am also going to college full time and graduate next year with a degree in education. My husband is in Afghanistan, so my son and I are living with my parents and sister until the end of the year. I've always enjoyed sewing and crafting, but started making baby items last year when I was very pregnant! I love making baby items and decided to open an Etsy store so I can get rid of the stockpile of baby items I've accumulated and have an excuse to make more :)

Hello! My name is Anna Muesing. My mother and I do all of the sewing for our shop. My mother has made countless baby items such as: dedication/ baptism gowns, smocked dresses, baby bonnets, and much, much more!
I am a college student struggling to pay tuition. My mother and I started selling on etsy hoping to save up so I may go back to a University in the fall.
Here is our latest product: Baby Bonnet made from vintage hankies!

Hi I'm a mother and my boys are in their 20s now. I've been doing arts & crafts all my life. Started selling as a university student at craft fairs. I've had an Etsy shop for a few years now. My shop has batik and shibori items and my beadwork. Specific items for babies are batik onesies & bibs, shibori onesies & bibs and batik numbers book. Hoping to finish a batik baby blanket this year. Sewers & quilters might like the hand dyed pieces I list in my shop.
I found that traffic to my shop increased when I joined some teams and hopefully sales will increase too. I also post my listings and photos of work in progress on my facebook, pinterest and google+ pages which seems to bring more views to my shop.

Hello! I am new to Etsy, Teams and selling in general! I have been sewing, crocheting, and quilting since I was a young girl on my parents farm. I am just starting to sell these personalized baby blankets I have been making and giving as gifts for years. I'm hoping to get some help on sales and increase my shops traffic as I get more items up!

I am a 60 year old family and consumer sciences and behavioral disorder teacher and just looking to make and sell in my free time. My daughter signed me up on here after her friends kept asking her for the blankets I make to give as baby gifts, but I am very excited to get the push to sew, crochet, etc. more often!

Thanks for listening!

Hi, I am Angela and a mother to a beautiful 2 year old son. I make baby bouquets to give as gifts to baby showers I have attended. Since then, I have had a few requests to make them for others to give as gifts. So I decided to try to sell a few on here while going to school for my BS degree in Business Information Management. I am hoping to meet some great people and get a few sells!

My name is Gail, I'm a retired nurse and worked in the maternity field for 30 years, so I love new babies and mothers! I raised 4 children of my own and we just added our 6th grandchild to the group. Gabriela was born the same day as Prince George, we think she is a Princess! I make burp cloths out of terry cloth and flannel, breast feeding cover-ups, shopping cart covers, and aprons for men, women, and children. This is the first team I have joined and am curious to see how this works. Computers are not my strong point but I am learning all the time.

[KTeesArtisticTees]

Hi, I am a new member of your team and new to etsy. My grown family consists of artists and musicians. We thought it would be a great idea to share our art work with you. The art pieces look especially great on onesies and little t shirts. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

[BearsBlanketsQuilts]

Just reduced some prices by up to 20% ! Pillows, quilts, aprons and more!

I am a stay at home mom of 2 beautiful girls. I started making baby blankets for my daughters doing crochet, then I made one for my oldest out of her old clothing. It turned out really cool! I loved the idea because it will make such a great keepsake for her in years to come. (I don't have it up in the shop because I'm not sure how to offer it with someone shipping me clothes, me making it, and shipping it back etc, what the procedures are on that. But i'm happy to do it if anyone wants one!)
I decided I really enjoyed making things, especially baby items and I wanted to help bring in a little extra income for my family. So, I decided to start making a bunch of things and opened a shop on Etsy beginning August! I'm loving seeing something go from scraps to something beautiful for a child! :)

I am 23 and my best friend had a baby so I started to get interested in making baby items. For her baby shower I made her burpcloths and she loves them. I am now making washcloths and burp cloths and I also make hair clips. I am learning how to make bibs and baby blankets via trail and error.

[BusyBeesHappenings]

Hello, I am a mother of beautiful baby girl who just turned a year old. I opened a store about two weeks ago. My store consists of mostly invitations, with a mix a couple of other illustrations. Please have a look around and let me know what you think! I am always open to suggestions!!!

[JustBreApparel]

Hey, my name is Breana and I just posted my first items a few days ago. I am 24 and just recently made a career change that has freed up sometime to allow me to work on my first passion of design. i started sewing at a very young age and have been creating things ever since. I currently make embroidered baby one pieces and I just recently starting dying one pieces using ombré techniques and more which I am excited to post. Once I get my shop established it is my hope to branch out into other baby item areas.

I greatly appreciate any advice I can get and I think this team is a great way to start my etsy team experience.

Thanks!

Hi there, I just opened my shop 2 weeks ago and love being part of the Etsy Community!
I've been sewing for 48yrs. and recently lost my job. To keep myself busy I started searching for something different to make my grandkids - that's when I discovered the world of Upcycling!!
I thought this would be a good team to join since my new found passion of upcycling includes babytoddler and kids clothing!

I look forward to being part of this team,
Thanks, Judy,

Hello my name is Rose and I'm a stay at home mom. I opened my shop stevens baby boutique a week ago.
