I make children's clothes for my two children, and thougt about trying to sell some of them, any ideas as what would be the best way to do this? Should I just place an ad in the paper, or make up enough to go to the flea market or something?

Or E) all of the above. You could also try selling them online, ebay for starters, and then maybe make your own site. You could also try going to specialty stores and ask if they would like to see your stuff and sell them in their shops! I wish you the best of luck!

Forget the flea market. People go there for bargains. Go to a small independent clothes shop and see if they will take a few from you to sell. Also, start making a portfolio of your creations with pictures of course. You might wish to list what fabrics or options in colour people may have for your clothes. Make sure you cover costs of fabric and time and notions for your price, plus a profit. Do not sell yourself short and charge too little. An ad in a hometown paper would be a start, too. And of course, ebay. Be prepared though; once you catch on you may need help producing all of your clothes to fill all those orders!
Best of luck to you.

Do both. The more media and publicity and word of mouth the better. Try even putting up signs as if to have a yard sale or something word will get around but don't have too high of prices at first you want to attract the buyers not scare them. Most people will go to Walmart or Target if the clothes are too much, because kids grow out of them so fast.

Ebay would be the best way as you can do it from home and don't need to pay for a stall at the flea market or for expensive adds in the paper - you reach a wider audience as well.

Actually ... maybe putting an ad in the paper would help you... but you definately gotta make sure you have enough quantities... it could cause you more stress than you want. Uh... Maybe put an ad saying you make clothes and something about anyone wanting to see your work and buy? i dunno how to word what i'm trying to say lol... an ad might be expensive to keep running... just try it once and see how many ppl bite on the idea... maybe spread the word through friends... make your own website and sell on there? hmm... GOOD LUCK

Actually, if you are somewhat computer literate, there is a far better way. Go to Etsy.com, it is a service that allows you to create an online store and sell handmade items. People then go on the site and search for the products they want, and buy them. There are hundreds of people with stores there, but if you have quality products and nice designs, then I can imagine you making quite a bit of money.

the least complicated and wonderful concept should be to reduce taxes (payroll, capital effective aspects), and reduce regulations on agencies. That way the yank people can run their agencies, and may have more effective money to employ workers. next replace the flexibility coverage, drill offshore, there are dozens of rigs accessible for the Gulf of Mexico, and each and each and every ought to create 2 hundred or so authentic, effective jobs. This administration is less than the delusion that it ought to legislate a sturdy economic gadget. it ought to't. the authorities can't create authentic jobs; it ought to purely create forms. We in u.s. are fortunate that we've adequate aspects the following that lets make regardless of the reality that we choose, we basically favor to create the pro-business organization ecosystem to enable it happen. the fast answer to interest advent: get the authorities out of our way!

IF YOU DO THE FLEA MARKET , YOU WILL NEVER SEE REAL MONEY.. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO SELL ON A 75% OFF RETAIL SCALE, YARD SALES ARE 90% OFF RETAIL, IF YOUR WORK IS GOOD, SELL ON EBAY, THERE IS A TON OF MONEY TO BE MADE. START NOW, SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION SOON!
