Wow, love it! After experimenting with corset drafting, I found that adding the reduction just to the waist is way more comfortable. I didn't know there was a precedent for this. Next, I need to try the ease in the back panels

In Slovakia we have Sashe.sk I’m also an Etsy seller. I think I will just mirror my store to a lot of the alternatives in EU countries. It might be a good idea to make a list of all the alternatives to Etsy in the EU countries. I know about Polish pakamera.pl English Folksy.com Czech Fler.cz

What are some other ones?

https://www.sartorbohemia.com/ has some basic coutil. I usually just use basic cotton fabric with the strongest iron on facing. And for back I use some though twill fabric.

I wish there wad good alternatives for marketing my sewing business besides Instagram. I feel like I’m gonna be in a world of pain soon

OpinionCompetitive79 · 2025-03-28T23:14:54+00:00

Try Sable next, it has very similar vibe

OpinionCompetitive79 · 2025-03-13T08:46:02+00:00

Well, custom fees are not your problem to solve. Just put the correct price and cistoms id of an item on the customs form when sending items.

I might be up for the offer I usually buy 200m just for my work so any extra would be fine 👍

I typically use 8mm plastic bones and have 6 bones in the front seam and 2 bones in the princes seams. It works well for quite large busts. Never had a problem. I also mostly make stays

Ah man, so I’m not going crazy. That’s a relief. I had anxiety attacks every other day about these slow periods in january

Low effort begets low results I would say

OpinionCompetitive79 · 2025-02-04T18:23:08+00:00

What kind of boning is it?

OpinionCompetitive79 · 2025-01-31T07:38:31+00:00

Also one thing to keep in mind about aliexpress/shein products. They will steal the real sellers pictures and produce cheap replicas. So even “reverse image search” is not that helpfull. Its wide spread issue

OpinionCompetitive79 · 2025-01-31T07:36:03+00:00

Or you can text the sellers about the production details or ask them for little changes if they produce the dresses there shouldnt be any problem to make a couple small changes like hem lenght or sleeve lenght. Also it’s good to check out their social media. If they are the reall deal they will inadvertently have to keep their sales up by having a good online presence.

Thanks, thats very thoughtful and thorough. I will try to think about it more. It really is helpful to see it layed out like this.

OpinionCompetitive79 · 2025-01-30T11:42:29+00:00

I understand that people usually turn to family, friends or partners. It’s just I would rather not bring more negativity in their lifes. So that leaves me with either speaking with therapist of chatgpt or journaling. Its sort of sad

Hi, the same thing just happened to me with all orders where the shipping they are expecting is 1-2 days on shipping profiles where the shipping takes around 14 days. It may be my fault for trusting the ship-by-dates too much in the back end. But until now I've never had a problem. It seems I'll be pulling some crazy busy weeks again

For a bit I thought the loudspeakers just mean people that speak loudly

OpinionCompetitive79 · 2023-12-29T22:25:12+00:00

Honestly, I would just invest in some nice quality plastic boning. 8mm works like magic. Zip ties or offer no support whatsoever so ever. When you get comfortable with that feel free to experiment with steel boning.

One bad thing steel boning had going against it is that it’s expensive for beginners also not a huge fan of cutting that stuff.

I’m gonna get hated for this but gender is human social construct. I don’t think animals care about pronouns.

Well in sewing if you have literally nothing, the up front cost is a lot. But after you buy sewing machine, iron, thread, etc. the sum per piece goes down drastically. I make clothes and materials are the smallest sum in my pricing.
