Starting My Own Clothing Line?

So lately I've been looking at baby clothes online for our new baby's bring home outfit and for Chase's summer wardrobe. As I'm looking for these "alternative" style hip baby clothes I realize how expensive and hard it is! You've got to do some interesting online searches and even then you come to a website and it's so expensive! It reminds me of one of my few passions.. I've always wanted to start my own business. I know a lot of people talk about starting their own business, but no I really have thought in depth and even tried to plan it.

I've always like crafts. I use to cut up my stuffed animals just so I can sew them back together. I have a bunch of Frankenstein looking stuffed animals haha. My toys must think I'm like Eddie from Toy Story. That's his name right? The scary kid that mistreats his toys? Anyways, I always tried making my own things. It's always easier to be inspired when it's something you want too. I made my own homecoming dress (it wasn't anything fancy.) My mom sews, I guess that's where I got it from. She made our dresses and barrettes that we wore to our uncles wedding.

Recently, I've been getting into wearing bows! The problem is I feel like bows are WAY too overpriced. The cute ones are at least. So I got this idea, how about I make my own bows?!? If they're cute enough maybe I can even sell it! I thought I'd start on that when I'm on maternity leave since that's the only time I feel like I'll have time for anything. Well, now that I've been looking for little boy t-shirts I thought to myself how nice would it be if I could just design my own.

For a little bit, I was making my own shirts and sweaters that are "smoker friendly." Whenever I wear them, people compliment me on it. It's something unique and different. I feel like I have all of this creativity inside me and no way to express it. Now a days, with the internet being so helpful I feel like I can just dip my toes in the water and try to sell things online instead of making a full commitment of actually starting a business. It's less time consuming so I can just do it on the side. Ultimately, I do want to be a business owner. Right now is not the type economically and financially, so I'll just have to find another way for now.

I just found the site that I was making the clothing from and you can also have your own "site" to sell them. But personally it's way too expensive!

I gotta learn about this screen print thing because apparently that's how you get your graphics and design printed on a shirt. I just feel like I want to do SOMETHING!
