I'm going to open an etsy shop!

[mala]

So I did it, I took the plunge, and have my tax info and bank account set up to start my little business! I'll soon be opening an etsy shop with hand painted yarn . So you knitting/crocheting/tatting ladies if you want anything specific now is the time to bring it up! I will gladly take requests. I'm going to be working in cotton and bamboo to start with, no wool or silk (I might get into them later if there's a demand for them).

I'm also considering dying baby/infant/children's clothes.  I know a few of you have expressed interest at some point or another in clothes that are solid colored without adornments.  I'm getting ready to put together my first supply purchase and I need to know if anyone is interested so I know what to order.  My supplier has lots of different styles of clothes to choose from. So my question to you ladies is would anyone be interested in purchasing dyed/tie-dyed clothes for LO?

Tie dyed is definitely nms, but I really like the idea of custom dyed clothing. I'd like to see what you have in mind.

Honestly, the bright, flashy, rainbow tie-dye is NMS either. I've been browsing through etsy though and that's all it seems like is there. I'd like to do something different, more subtle. I need to dig up some of the onesies I tie-dyed for B when she was little (well, littler. Ugh, how can I say "when she was little" already? She's not even a year yet!) and post pictures for you to see.

ETA: found some pictures. I love doing this style of dyeing, and I don't see anything like it on etsy either. The pictures aren't the best quality, but these were some of my favorite outfits to put B in (when they still fit at least)

Love tie dye anything and I love the idea of solids too in requested colors. Awesome!

So this is actually my favorite style of tie-dyeing:


My mom made these, but I'm totally thinking of ripping off her idea of dyeing then bleaching out shapes.




Would you guys go for these? What would you be willing to pay?

Oh yes, I am digging the bleaching out shapes. I am the worst person to ask about pricing, but I would be willing to pay $10-$12 for something like that. If it is something I REALLY wanted/needed, maybe $15? Again, I am not good with placing value on textiles or other merchandise.
