Digital Products for Etsy

Digital Products on Etsy have gone viral during the COVID, probably before but we didn't know until COVID hit.  Because you could have just printed your wall art, invitations (not that you could have gone anywhere during COVID) but people still were making them, and beautiful scenery, etc...  

Even my stepdaughter has gotten the bug, she makes printable kids learning materials, kids coloring books, and workbooks.  She homeschools her 3 boys and doing so, she noticed that the homeschooling material is really not what she expected.  Not that she can go against what they want the kids to learn but she started to make her own teaching materials.  She has her Master and I'm very proud of her and all she's accomplished and still accomplishing.  You can check her store out here: Momma Bears Printable.  Please favorite her store if you go by to visit. 😀 Thanks.

There's someone that I found when I thought I might get into it.  I wanted to learn so if I did make that decision I'll have learned all I can.  Her name is Jessa Bellman.  She has several stores on Etsy and she makes good money with all her stores.  I took one of her classes and learned a lot.  She helps with putting a design together and downloading it to Etsy.  I emailed her because I had a problem and she email me back very quickly and helped me with my problem.  I'm sure she would do the same for you.

Here are some of the things that she teaches:

Course Creator Bundle - this comes with 385 templates and helps you to get comfortable with Canva. 

The eBook Creator  - 50 ebook templates, 110 fully editable Canva templates created to track your ebook creation.

Create your own Journal & Planner - easily create your own journal or planner within an hour.

Be a Superstar Seller on Etsy - This course walks with you through opening your Etsy store.

Pinterest Protege  -  This course will help you get traffic to your Etsy store with the help of Pinterest.

The Network Marketer - specifically tailored for the Network Marketer growing their business

In all her bundles she talks about all her Etsy stores, and you can do research on her before making any commitment.  You can also catch her on Youtube and Facebook.

There are others but if you want more information, please do not hesitate to ask. I will help with whatever I can.  

Let me know if you signed up and what you think.  If you open an Etsy store or any store to sell digital products let me know so I can mention it here on my blog.

Thank you and God bless.

Designing my Own Fabric

Years ago I always wanted to design my own fabric, I was already a sewer.  I figured how hard can it be...well apparently at first it was very hard.  You have to make sure the seam/picture are seamless.  Which I didn't understand.  I went on Youtube and looked up designing a fabric. It's been so long that I can't find the person I learned it from but here's one that you might like "How to make a seamless repeating pattern."

Once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy and you'll start making different things from wallpaper designs, blankets, t-shirts, etc.

I started to find places to sell all my designs, once you make that design and download them to either Redbubble and/or Zazzle to name a few you'll see that those designs become pillow covers, shower curtains, phone covers, and many, many more.

Below are some of the online stores my designs can be located:

Spoonflower.

Redbubble

Zazzle

I hope that you find what you're looking for in designing your own fabric.  I also hope that you don't give up on your dreams.

If you need or want more information, please do not hesitate to ask.  I'm here to help you get to your dreams.

A lot of my designs were named after my family members. Like this one, this one was a request from my niece, Lindsey.  She wanted sunflowers and butterflies.  So I called it Lindsey's Bouquet. 

Thank you and God bless.

Peek-a-Boo Patterns/KnitFabric

Ok, Let me tell you about Peek-a-boo Patterns and KnitFabric because the same person owns both businesses.  Here are some of the  Peek-a-Boo Patterns that I've made:

Rio Racerback Tank Dress This dress I made for my granddaughter. I made a Mommy and Me dress for her mother to match hers from another pattern place I buy from called Blank Slate Patterns.  The Mommy dress was the Kirei Camisole which I altered to make the dress.  Sorry for the pictures, I'm still trying to learn how to take professional pictures.  Fabric: Olga's Closet

 

Marilyn Vintage Swimsuit

This one is the Marilyn Vintage Swimsuit, I wasn't too thrilled with the way it came out.  I think I missed a step but I know myself and I know I will try it again until I get it right.  Thank God, my husband was nice enough to get me a new serger and soon a cover stitch machine.  Not that you need these machines to make a better garment but it helps.  Fabric: Joann's Fabric Store

This is the Yukon Button-Up Shirt I was kind of scared to make this one but I think it came out okay.  I noticed my brother always wearing these types of shirts so I thought I would try to make one for him, with his favorite team.  I saw him wearing it a couple times, which made me feel good.  I plan to make more since I have 3 more brothers, and one for my husband and brother-in-law because they liked this one. 

Fabric: Joann's Fabric Store

I could go on and on with all the patterns I used but we would be here forever 😁.  So I will name just some of the patterns I've bought and used and you can check them out at the website.  A lot of these were easily sewed, and some of them will have YouTube videos to help you.  Also, they have a Facebook group that will help you too. 

Wait there's more! when you're at their website check out the fabric...if you're making items for kids their fabric is awesome.  You can check them out at KnitFabric.com too.

Ellie and Mac Patterns

If you're looking for patterns that have reasonable prices, look at Ellie and Mac Patterns.  They have beautiful patterns for kids, women, and men.  They also have YouTube sew-along videos that come in handy if you're having problems with the patterns.

Here are some patterns that I've made using their patterns:

I used the Tres Belle Wrap Pattern to make this maternity dress for my niece.  I made it by shorting the bodice and putting on a gathered skirt. I wanted to make it with the double-folded skirt thinking that that would make it wider but it wasn't working out for me.  I went back to the Facebook group and asked for help and they said gathering the skirt would be better which I did.  The only thing is with the gathered skirt I could have put pockets and I didn't I was still upset about the double fold that I forgot to add it.  Ugh. But she's asking for another one so I might just add the pockets next time.  Fabric: Joann Fabric Store.

This next one is the Be Brilliant Swimsuit Pattern that I used to make my great-niece and her sisters a bathing suit for their brother's baby shower.  I made it in zebra print because the theme it was zebras.  I thought it would have been perfect for the occasion, which it did.  All the girls had the same pattern but different colors of pants and a skirt.  Fabric: Etsy TiasSewingTidbits

Here is the Invincible Skort Pattern.  This one I made for my granddaughters and they loved it. They just recently added an Invincible Skort for women...go check it out. Fabric: Joann Fabric

 

Last but not least, Monday Morning Dress Pattern, my model is my Mom.  I love the way this came out and how beautiful it fits her. It was very easy to make too.  Fabric: Olga's Closet   What do you think?

Remember if you have problems with their patterns, please check out their YouTube channel for help.  Also, their Facebook group is helpful too.  That is where I got my help for the first maternity dress(first picture). I was so proud of myself and it looks awesome on my niece.  She asked me to make another. 😃
