My name is Marilyn and I live outside of Orlando Florida. I'm originally from Kansas. I am 58 and have been sewing most of my life. I have 6 grandchildren who I have made things for. They range in age from 22 to 4. The 4 year old is the only girl. I started doing craft shows in Kansas about 5 years ago, and now am looking for venues in my area. I love the online ability to sell, but am still building a customer base. It is great to meet everyone.

Welcome, Marilyn! This is a great place to learn! What sort of items do you sew? I am a lifelong sewing fanatic also, mostly into quilting these days. And my very first grandchild, a boy, is due next March.
Do you have an on-line shop? If you do, post a link so we can all come visit and help advertise your goodies!

Once you start handing out business cards or something with your shop URL on it at craft shows you'll start building a bigger customer base. Good luck to you!

I wish you the best of luck in the journey through figuring out the various facets of online selling. I know that I'm still learning - but it has been a fun and engaging process.
