I loved watching your process! I really want to start my own handmade clothing line too but have been feeling really overwhelmed with where to even begin. This was such an inspiring video and I can’t wait to follow your journey as you launch your brand!!💕
This is so amazing!! I have been really wanting to start my own handmade sustainable fashion brand as well and watching this video has really re-inspired me and motivated me to work more towards it since I've been procrastinating a lot. I loved watching your whole process and I'm excited to follow you through your journey! 😊
GIRL !! I am so glad to have found your channel! SO interesting to watch - I am also making a handmade slow fashion brand but based in East London, England. Such a rollercoaster isn't it! I've had a peek at your website and the garments look incred. Love the linen co-ords!! Well done on selling out so soon. I hope to launch by the end of this year but still in the pattern construction stage ! xxxxxx
The part where you're talking about inclusive sizing, I'm just gonna tell you now that you are absolutely going to exhaust yourself making an entire inventory of each clothing item in addition to custom sizing. Remember you are only one person. If you had a team, it would be a bit different, but I think for the sake of your mental health you should consider just choosing one method or the other. Either custom sizing or pre-made sizing, not both. Great ideas tho! Best of luck! :)
TOTALLY. Since putting out this video I've definitely prioritized custom sizing for online orders. I recently started doing more in-person pop-up shops and for those I make generic XXS-3XL sizes. Definitely takes a lot of time and energy, but it works for now:)
@@monicarazak Yay! I’m happy you figured it all out and that it’s still working out for you! I checked out your website and it looks great 😊
love you for this
You go girl☺ all the best.
So exciting!! I will start a made to order brand soon so this is very inspiring 🌞🥰
same here :)
I lov the confidence my dear, it will push u far
I’m don’t know you but I’m proud of you for taking the step to start your own clothing line. I’m in the process of that now. You have a new subscriber!
Omg! I’m also launching my own! I started selling handmade scrunchies and when I get that small hint of how to run an online store I thought it’s time to move forward! I wanted to branch out more and sell my handmade clothes!!
have you? I’d totally check out your clothing business!
this is so inspiring and pretty
Thank you so much!!
Loved this video, it's a great breakdown
I was wondering how you decided on a size chart chart for your garments?
Thank you so much! I based my sizing chart off of other major sustainable brands (Ref, Everlane, etc). I also polled some of my friends and followers to see what sizes they typically fit into along with their body measurements:)
taking risk is my fav, wanna make my own business by starting to sew and sell tote bags so I can save a bit to by new sewing machine
You should definitely do it! The hardest part is getting started, but it'll be worth it:)
where do u get your fabrics? link would be appreciated
I really wish you the best!🤞💕
Can you learn us how to make a pattern ❤️❤️
tutorial available on my channel :)
