I'm thinking about doing a little selling on TradeMe of personalised christmas stockings. What these would be, are pre-made christmas stockings approx. 40 - 50cm long and about 15cm wide at the toe. I would secure any design on them by handsewing the picture down. Then, I would add the buyer's choice of name, cut out of felt and handstitched on. I made them for us last year, and they looked really good. Depending on the cost of the original stockings, I would sell the finished product for between $8 and $15 each.
I guess what I'm wonder is if any of you ladies would be interested in buying something like that. I want to know if there is a market out there before I start, as money is tight at the moment. Thanks. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I think thats a great idea! I suppose postage would be on top of that? ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

Yes, plus postage, but as the stockings are fairly light it would be one cost pretty much no matter how many stockings were bought.
Well, I'll see if it will work! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

| OOh, i'd be interested. having been looking like something for jake and was attempting to get motivasted enough to do it myself, but judging by the imcomplete cross-stitch in the draw that i started before jake was born....perhaps paying for one would be a good idea. |
