I'm Cyndi and I am a full time working mother of 4 perfect boys. I am passionate about living a healthy life, I am obsessed with embroidery, sewing, cleaning and organization. In addition to working full time, I also have an Etsy shop where I make and sell personalized kids shirts, tutu's, blankets and personalized gifts.

Hugs girl. Comparison is the thief of joy. Just ask yourself these questions when you find yourself comparing your business to someone else’s. Are you where God has built you to be? Are you living the things you could only dream of when you were younger? You are doing great in your path mama keep going. You don’t want to live anyone else’s dream if you can’t also handle their bad days.
Beautiful work! Love seeing what you do with you parties Always looks perfect and inviting. Don't stress about another company's process. You are doing a great job.
Really? I just can‘t believe that. How expensive must one shirt or onzie be then? In spite of all the costs. Donˋt understand me wrong, everything you sew & embroider is very beautiful. But earning money with that is nearly impossible where i live.
Shirts cost depends on complexity but usually around $28-$35 depending on ring on if there are pearls etc. Tutus are roughly $50. Again, depends on how many layers of ribbon, type of ribbon, etc. Most outfits are high $60’s to $80. Our Royal 5-ness is always closer to a hundred.
I've been dreaming of doing this - working for myself. I have a good job in HR and grateful that it has been supporting my family, but I am feeling depressed stuck in an office for 8-10 hours per day. I have been slowly working on an exit plan, acquiring equipment, buying materials. I'm also a professional photographer so that could be another source of income. The olan is to be all set before January 2025. Do you suggest focusing one 1-2 products? Or all types of work?
Because I don’t list them for sale. I make them if someone I know asks me to. Same if you have a friend who asks you to make her daughter a Minnie tutu outfit. I don’t list copyright items for sale on my website or Etsy. But, like we all know, the files are available to buy on Etsy for you to embroider for almost any character
hi Cindy I'm based in Fl this would be a dream come true as my corporate career comes to an end. if you do t mind what was your initial investment for your new business and would you consider a consult? thank you
If you billed your customer for these embroidery designs in these amounts, how do you account for the cost of the items. For example, are the approx $37 pjs including the pjs and the embroidery ?
What I charge them includes the cost of the item I’m embroidering unless they provide the item to embroider. In this case, I did. They already had their towels, robes and pjs in their possession as the wedding was 2 days away, they only rush was the napkins which still needed to be done.
