Hey Bailey. Your bags are so beautiful and I love the designs, Your motivation is so motivating. Be proud of everything you are doing and never give up. You are an incredible young woman with a heart of gold!!!!

[@googoogoods]

Hey! Thank you so much I really appreciate that! I am so grateful for the love & support!

[@laurahonerbrink4567]

Storing fabrics... use comic book boards and fold it around them! Game changer for me! I use the square cubby storage from menards or Walmart that hold the square bins.

[@alwaysemilia]

Ooooh and then you just store it like books and can grab what you need! I don’t even craft with fabric but I love this lol

[@googoogoods]

Very cool idea! I've got some in my Amazon cart!! I have two huge Kallax units from Ikea that I store toys in right now but I'm thinking of changing toy storage so I may have one of those available soon!!

[@googoogoods]

@alwaysemilia Lol we can all appreciate a good idea

[@joannepowers82]

I like your bags. All the fabric is cute

[@googoogoods]

Thank you so much I think so too!

[@SwagGifts]

I love the retro fabrics! My favorite is the first orange flower one you showed us. If you post a bag in that material on your website or Etsy I’ll definitely buy that. 🥰 I was in high school in the late 70’s. It brings back memories of our hippy days!! 😂☮️✌🏼

[@googoogoods]

How fun I'm glad you like them!! I'll try to get it listed ASAP so you can snatch it up lol!

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so good, what a stunning haul, I love all those fabrics ☺☺

[@googoogoods]

I love them too!! I'm definitely set on fabric for a while lol

[@owlbecrafty]

Love the retro fabrics, specially the coral with the happy face daisies

[@googoogoods]

I know so cute!!! They had it in a bunch of different cute colors!!

[@josierose8889]

Your bags are all looking great but as a bag maker myself, I have had a lot of feedback from customers to say that unless it's a flat zip pouch, they like to have tabs at each end of the zipper to make it easier to open and close. It's really simple to do and you can use the corner aquares that are cut out to make the bags boxy 😊...just a thought for any future bags 🥰

[@googoogoods]

Thank you so much for the tip!!! I've ordered some little D-rings to put on the edge to make tabs but I'm also thinking about instead of tabs doing handles but I guess I could do both it's just a little extra work lol

[@josierose8889]

@@googoogoods awww yes d-rings are great! I use those on some too and they are great for attaching keyrings too! If you put one each end of the zip then you can use them to attach detachable straps as well to give people the option of no strap or strap 😊...I love the early stages of making a new bag, it's all about experimenting and seeing what works best for you 🥰

[@fearlessbeau2779]

You should do a step by step tutorial on how to make the bags and sell the video file I’m wanting to learn how to make things with a sewing machine

[@googoogoods]

Thank you so much for your tip! I'm going to make a video on how to make them and just put it on UA-cam! Maybe I'll get crazy and do a written tutorial too and put that on Etsy or something but I don't mind sharing the process here on UA-cam :)

[@beth6085]

If you want to make the quilting bigger look at end to end quilting.

[@googoogoods]

I definitely have a few end to end quilting patterns in my cart! I've just not gotten around to picking which ones I want to try first!

[@beth6085]

@@googoogoods Designs by Juju has some cute ones.

[@lauracoffey1874]

I love all the new fabrics. I am hoping you will post your bags on the website for sale.

[@googoogoods]

Thank you so much! I am going to try my best to get them photographed and listed this week or next!

[@deborahslynnsboutique2035]

Good luck

[@googoogoods]

Thank you so much!!

[@Heartangels6]

Question : How do you pick what is in style currently for your fabrics ?

[@googoogoods]

Good question! I've got it written down on my list!!

[@miaforte8536]

Have you tried using heat press to iron on your stabilizer? Game changer for me.

[@googoogoods]

I'm going to do that this week!!! I haven't done it yet since my table is a little messy lol but I'll clean it up and do it that way! I definitely think that will be easier!

[@constanzej.2347]

🎉🎉🎉QandA: What kind of brand do you use for your Mama Sweatshirts. Is it the Gildan or something else? Thanks from europe❤

[@googoogoods]

Good question! I use Jerzees but I'll also answer this question in more depth in the Q&A thanks!!

[@ginab.4605]

I have a question. How long did it take you to start doing markets alone (without help)? I did my first market and was kind of overwhelmed with getting everything set up. My husband and son were with me. I couldn’t imagine doing it alone right now. It’s probably because I’m new to it, thanks!😊

[@googoogoods]

Hey! I actually have done all of my markets alone except for 3! It can definitely be overwhelming at first, I've done so many that it's a lot easier for me but starting out it was really stressful. You will definitely learn how to do things faster and easier! I try to always get to the venue as soon as we are allowed to have the maximum amount of time available to get set up and that helps me a lot. You're going to get the hang of it don't worry :)
