New to the board...Question! (PIP)
Hi. I'm new to the board and have been sewing recently. Mainly I make clutch purses and pillow covers. Several family members and friends have suggested that I start selling them (craft shows coming up or etsy) and I was wondering what other fairly simple items I could make to give more of a variety.
I do not know how to do fashion sewing and have no idea how to do zippers yet (ahhh)!
What would you want to buy along those lines?
Here are some examples of what I've made recently...

Re: New to the board...Question! (PIP)
You are directing your question of what we would want to buy to a group of women who probably wouldn't be your target audience since we see things like this and think "I can make that" instead of buying it.
That being said, instead of branching out into lots of things that you can make "ok," I think you would do better by picking just a few things that you make "amazingly."

Yes!
Thanks for the advice, I guess I hadn't thought of it that way (oops), but you're definitely right!
