Contemplating Etsy!

As you all may know, I do have an Etsy website.  I haven't sold a thing on it, but that's understandable.  I only have a few things, they are very traditional in style and relatively easy for others to make on their own.  I did sell a few to friends, but that's about it.

However, I am contemplating selling my pillowcase dresses and maybe nursing covers on Etsy.  This weekend, I made seven dresses and one shirt for Lallie in a relatively short amount of time (about 2.5 hrs each on Saturday and Sunday).  I am also working on my own pattern of a semi-Lilly-esque shift dress with tie-backs and buttons on one of the sleeves.

Here are some pictures of what I made out of some leftover fabric I had lying around.  I haven't had my sewing machine in months, so I needed a little practice, but I think they all turned out pretty good.

What do y'all think?  Be honset please!  I would sell them for fairly inexpensively as they aren't difficult to make (for me as a sewer) and I anticipate a few mistakes, but nothing really visible.

If I decide against, at least Lallie will look cute in them!

And did you really think you'd get away without a picture of Lallie?  Here's my little prepster, getting ready for church. 


Happy Monday y'all!
