Step 1: Make inventory

Too easy, right? Well today is the day I start building up my inventory. I have a clean workspace and my own personal version of organized (which I'm hoping continues to improve as I go) so I'm gonna start making things specifically for my store inventory today.
The first things I'm working on are a laptop bag and a purse made from recycled clothing. I've made myself and a few friends purses from clothes I really needed to decommisssion from my closet but couldn't quite stand to throw away (ta dah, a product idea is born). I get compliments on mine and would love to be able to share that pride in something handmade with love and a story behind it. Plus with my love for purses it makes it all the more special to have a recycled handbag that matches my character then something that's just mass produced with a big name label.
The laptop bag will be made from an old skirt I'm too in love with the patteren to throw out and I have a cute handbag planned for some gym shorts where the elastic has stopped being elastic at all.

Ok, enough planning. I'm gonna get to work and I'll keep you updated as I go. (I would like to believe there are some real people out there I'm talking to and using as motivation. Give me a sign, at least a hello would be awesome!)
