I recently reviewed my etsy and local retail sales, and decided that it is time to get back to basics. As much as I like making new things, sometimes it is just not worth it.
The basics include 7" by 5" padded zipper pouches. long pencil pouches,and smaller split ring bags.
The last time I sold a Wedgie bag online like this was in June of 2023:
Then there was the inicident of a customer oredering 3 of them for Mother's Day giftd and the package disappeared in the mail somewhere. We both got reimbursed, but I still felt bad about the whole thing.
I have also stopped selling fabric storage bins online, as it is another example of no sales and little interest.
I have a bunch of both items already made up, and will be offering them at local consignment venues, as well as carft shows. I also fulfill the occaisonal custom request for sometning like a larger IPad or tablet bag.
My most popular-sized bag seems to be the long pencil pouch. It usually measures about 8" long by 4" tall, and is great for pencils, art supplies, markers, or make-up brushes. I use one myself as a wallet, and for those us us who still pay cash for things, paper currency fits very nicely without being all folded or crumpled up.
