Hello fellow Upcyclers

My name is Rachel, I make clothing and accessories out of unwanted clothes, off-cuts, roll end, remnant and vintage fabric, buttons trims etc.

I posted my first item for sale yesterday, and hope to get the rest of my current stock added over the next couple of weeks. I am currentlytaking part in a fashion exhibition called cheeky stitches in Nottingham, England where I live.

If anyone has any advice I'm all ears.

Rachel

Hi Rachel!
And welcome to Etsy :) Your shop looks very sweet. I love the blue skirt, and can't wait to see more! Best of luck to you.

My advice to you is just to have fun. If you enjoy what you're doing, the rest falls into place!

Welcome Rachel!! Love your shop and that blue skirt! You're already heading in the right direction... joining this team and posting this message.;) Have fun and more listings is great advice too. I also found social networking has helped my online shop a great deal. Facebook, twitter, my blog, etc. Team Upcyclers has its own pages and sites as well.
Hope you enjoy Etsy and Upcyclers!
Thanks, Bee
