Re: new creation


I agree with DM and Yola! You are very clever Tink and once you've sorted out your pattern you could go into running a little business! Just think of all those ferrety friends reclining in your creations!

Re: new creation


Tink, there's no stopping you now....you are getting better and better at this..

As the others have said, if you could get hold of a cheap sewing machine from somewhere you could make no end of different pet things.....and earn yourself some cash to look after all those pets..

Re: new creation


wow, thanks everyone!

to be honest, my OH was telling me the same thing. right now we are waiting for sewing machines to go on sale at walmart because they are a bit expensive or watching craigslist. i told him i really want to practice more before his suggestion of setting up an etsy site or something. funny thing is there is a pet suppy consignment store opening in town and he was thinking i should drop off some things there and let the store take care of it to see if they sell. i'm not sure, i'm very unsure of myself still! although it would be great to make some cash..but i'd be horrified if someone complained about what i made..i don't know.

thanks for all your compliments and encouragement, you guys are grand

Re: new creation


Tink, if you're making such lovely, imaginative things by hand, think what you could do with a proper sewing machine! You have a real talent for it, IMO! Do think about it! I'd buy some of your things for sure!
