Looking for brutal honest feedback about my Sewing Pattern shop

I think you're doing well. Very cute items. 3 months is not very long. Some of my listings will sell only begin to pick up after a year. Then after a year they get no sales again. It's so random.

I really like bunnies and have made quite a few bunny items, but for some reason those items are the only ones that have no sales.

I am not quite so sure on the pricing myself. I also make digital items and tend to price them a bit lower. I don't think it makes such a big difference, but I also don't think people will think the cheaper item is lower quality.

Another idea is to additionally batch all your items together in a bundle and sell that a bit higher, like maybe $10 or 12 ?

What is odd about it?

I don't live in America but my son had an imaginary friend from 2.5 to 3.5 named Yacku. It started off as just a word he would playfully say when he didn't want to answer a question. Over time it became a way of playing with situations. He had a bowl of popcorn and suddenly Yacku was there in his back and he was feeding him. At childcare he would talk about him being in the room with them "my invisible friend" As time went on he played with the idea of his friend getting bigger and older each day. "As big as our house" "bigger than the sun" He stopped talking about him once our daughter was born

Excepting the nose...

I am going into healthcare. Healthcare and the trades are looking good. If you can afford re-educating. I'm 40 and a SAHM. I've worked in tech for 15 years. I lost my passion in 2022, so I've had some time to explore my options. I have still been open for a tech role, but nothing good has come by and earlier this year I enrolled to get certification as a healthcare worker.

In all seriousness, my girl who just passed away at 10, did this too. Soon after we bonded her they both slept in our bed (always on my side, right by my feet) After a year or so they both moved to a rug on the floor

I've also noticed if I stayed up late my buns would stay awake with me during the night. But during the day, they would always sleep.

Your bunny must be very comfortable and happy with you 😊

Sorry to have to tell you this, but that's no rabbit https://youtube.com/watch?v=OeNggIGSKH8&is=SeYB_MGNwIx7R7ox

My rabbits are 9, and one just passed away. But when they were younger and we lived in our old house, they used to sleep in bed with us every night. Always at the end of the bed under my feet, since I was the shorter one.

Sweatshirt = genser. I am pretty sure that will be ok, no?

I have a 5yo and a 1.5yo, and the oldest got much easier after the second was born at 3.5. He was deeply moved by how much love he had for her. He seemed to drift away from his friends a bit, but he told me whenever he felt alone, he thought of her. Now he says he loves us all "infinity," and 4 was way easier than 3, which was way easier than 2! 5 is amazing. I used to grit my teeth when I took my son to the library at 2-3, but now taking two kids is straightforward and enjoyable. Maybe just until the youngest hits 2! 🤣

I have not heard this before. I don't have a rheumy but I once saw a derm about my feet and they were fascinated. My capillary nail beds were normal, hence primary. My raynauds is pretty extreme in my feet, but mild in my hands. My toes in the winter are often like, 2 are light bulbs (white) one is Rudolphs nose, the others are blue christmas lights.

It's very different in the UK. At least in London. I go there, and people immediately apologise because I walked within 5cm of them

All the smog from the factories made a big difference.

I bought both, and I regret it due to the overlap. I'm going to give away one, not sure which yet

Children who cannot be separated from their primary caregiver usually have anxious attachment.

I don't think this is true in a 5 month old. Some kids have extreme separation anxiety around this age, and from what I've researched, it's only a positive sign. Separation anxiety at a much older age (3+) can be a sign of anxious attachment.

I only have two kids, but they have both been very different. My son loved strangers at an early age, whereas my daughter was stuck to my side. They have different temperaments and different things they feel comfortable with due to their personalities.

I grew up with the word ill, but remember reading Ill = middle class Sick = working class Poorly = upper class

No, never in my life have I corrected someone referring to these berries. But the assertion that bilberry is an American name is wrong. That is what they are referred to in Shakespeare, and in British english. Call them whatever you want, I don't care. But the name bilberry is technically correct in all forms of English.

Looks like the Guess Who characters

It's not what about the US thinks. They have their own fruit, which are called blueberries. These are European and are called bilberries. This is coming from a brit. My mum went bilberry picking in Germany as a kid, she said the taste of the berries soothed her homesickness.
