Opinions on shop name, etc.

I like it!!

Molly and I were just looking at your shop - such great stuff! I LOVE the owl quilt and the hanging tents.

[zoidberg]

It sounds nice.

Was Squirrely taken?

How do you come by your clients? IRL locally or via the internet?

As a denizen of the Mid-Atlantic, I would probably assume that a Southern Sewist was making local specialty items like smocked angel dresses and boy's rompers. Or perhaps frou-frou window treatments.

I really like it! Sounds warm and inviting.

I really like it too!

I like it!

[balletofangels]

I like it. It gives out a homey vibe.

What about an old-fashioned sewing machine graphic?



This is totally how I imagine you working:



okay, maybe not.

Those play tents are amazing! I would have killed for one of those as a kid!

Sounds cozy, comfortable, and inviting!

I love it too! I also thought about Southern Sewing Shop (keeping the theme of S's!) Has work been treating you well since you went back? I hope so…. been thinking about ya!

[orangeblossom]

I like it. To auntie's point, could you put something like, "Southern in my heart, but do all things" I mean not those exact words, but giving homage to the south, but not pigeon holing yourself with just doing southern-inspired things.

I love it. I'd have a single quilted square as your logo-ish thing on any website, and if you have a facebook/etsy type presence where you have a banner I'd make a collage of random quilted items. I think that'd tap down the "she makes smocked dresses and froufrouy stuff." Do you have a website now? Are you going to share it here? Hmmmmm?

[elleblue]

I like it a lot. I also think something like "The Sewing Squirrel" would suit too. 

[piaffe]

Can you post the link to your shop? I'm on my phone if it's listed in your signature.

[underwaterrhymes]

I love the name!

[Deleted]

The southern sewing shop sounds kind of cool, that was a good idea. I wouldn't worry at all about people associating it with smocked dresses. People on Etsy aren't browsing shop names, they browse for items, so I don't think that's at all a concern. Nor would I associate the south with smocked dresses.

I love the name! For the card design, could you do four small squares of different patterns joining together to form a big square? Like in quilting?

[muppetinma]

I would probably make a cute logo of a mason jar of sweet tea or something else really southern. Your Etsy shop speaks for itself. The business card is just a way to get that information to them.
