Hammocks!

[mehganxo]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that once I am completely confident in making hammocks I WILL START SELLING THEM! I'm going to post some pictures soon and you can tell me if you're interested or of you like my designs.

I'd like to hear from you all about what you think affordable prices are for hammocks and other rattie-comfort items!

Sounds great. Make sure that you charge enough to make it worthwhile, though. Otherwise it's a recipe for burnout.

A very quickly made honeycomb.

And a little cuddle pouch

New fleece and fabric. I'll take orders if someone sees a combo they like

 

[temblabamomo]

Very nice! Do you have an etsy account or some way to market and sell and take orders for them?

 

[mehganxo]

No I don't. Maybe I'll try and set one up. I think someone told me you have to know the shipping costs for wherever they're being sent so I guess I'll have to try and figure that out?

Canada Post has an online shipping calculator so once you have the order done you can get a shipping quote and charge accordingly. Once you ship enough stuff you will be more confident with making shipping estimates to let people know ahead of time. Shipping in Canada is ridiculous but most of us know and acceot that so make sure you charge shipping extra and don't have it included in your price.

Thank you!

Where in Ontario are you located?

 

[mehganxo]

I'm in ottawa. Here are a few more I finished/made today.

 

[mehganxo]

Wow sorry for the terribly quality. I'm going to edit that and fix it.


... Erm. Or perhaps it wasn't as focused as I thought.

And this is the pocket flat I just finished!

Tapatalk is ruining pictures!!

 

[NeeNee]

How much you selling for? How much would shipping be to Toronto?

 

[mehganxo]

Hmm. I guess it depends what / how much you want and what I have to put it in to ship. What're you interested in.

 

[NeeNee]

I like both styles...I really like the split pocket hammock Do you do regular hammocks too? Regular size, or long sized?

 

[mehganxo]

I'm just about to make my first pocket flat (the pocket that goes overtop) sometime today! And I can pretty much make anything (except a cube, that's my next project). I know double deckers tend to be a favourite in this area.

Ok. Here is the link to my new etsy store. I'm still figuring everything out, but I'm working on it!!

Would anyone care to comment on my prices? Too high? Too low? Just right?
