Been loving all the sewing tips on A Beautiful Mess too! I see sweater mittens in my future… Good luck with the re-launch girl! Rest up ;)
SO excited for your re-launch friend!
eeeek! everything is coming together so nicely :D
first article has hit home. with the new biz and all i have to re-evaluate my pricing. i am always hearing this from my husband about being fair to myself. did you find this hard in the beginning?
OH YES! pricing, overhead, profit margins — it’s been a challenge but with constant research and book reading i think we’ve figured it out. megan auman of designing an MBA has great content on her site about pricing + making a living from handmade. check her out!!
What is the link to her site?? I’ve been severely shortchanging my work, and need some more tips ;)
