      Regular weight (metal weights) are actually quite expensive and hard to come by! These water weights are more practical but I would love metal weights in the future!

    Same thing happened to me when I was making pillow covers for market. I was so nervous and excited that I sewed them all up without the branding tags (I have the same ones as you). So I suppose, if I really wanted to, I could always rip a tiny part of the seam out and sew in the tag (which I probably will do since it sounds a lot more complicated than it really is) But I only have the one pillow, so I don't know if it's worth it. But I totally get how annoyed you are with yourself, lol. I've been there. xoxoxo

      @HandmadeJems Pƙed 7 měsĂ­ci

    • @HandmadeJems
      @HandmadeJems Pƙed 7 měsĂ­ci

      Postage is a big hassle- with the changes to postage rates continuing, it is very hard to keep up. The best way i would recommend is have a flat rate charge depending on the country or place (eg. US, Europe etc). You can also make sure you are incorporating some of your postage price into your product prices. Always happy to answer more questions and assist! Just a message away x

      Yes, I did almost 12 months ago as with growing orders and order sizes, along with improvements in my product quality, I felt it was the best option.

      It is the "Wallaroo" brand 3x3m marquee!! Absolutely recommend as it is on the cheaper side but defiantly does not lack in quality! I just use a different marquee cover/bag that has wheels. The only downside is it does weigh approx. 20kg and isn't as compact as other marquees get :)

    You are doing amazing. In a year or 2 things will just boom again. Just have to ride it through unfortunately. Also, I have been wanting too order but no PayPal yet (hint hint)... I just feel safer using PP over CC

    You sound like your on the right track, however you will find that people will still buy item from you but not as much and if you chance somethings about your store and the descriptions you never know what happens. I would like to know how your cost your items?????? I know that this will help a lot of small businesses owners by showing them that a small is as good as a holiday .....if you get my drift.

      Exactly right! People will always want to support if you have reached the right audience. I am always looking at ways to improve and better myself and my business so I'm excited to see what happens in the next few months! I have been meaning to make a video about costing items so will definitely film that soon!! x

    Positive thinking + your urge to create is great
. If that tape measure lifts off the desk, you can get a stick-on measuring tape that shows both inches & metric, I got mine in a sewing shop, quite cheap. Enjoy your videos 💜

    Smart girl. Yes non essential items will be going on the back burner for a bit in most households. Putting food on the table, utilities and keeping a roof over ones head being priortised in most households. Good on you for diversifying and being open to getting advice with the things you can change. Be interesting to see what happens here in Oz but keep ya chin up as it will only be temporary. Your an intelligent creative young woman with a lot of drive. Love those makeup wipes, so cute. đŸ„°
