My Zibbet Shop

My Zibbet Shop


I was doing a comparison of the costs of doing business between my store front(s).


I quit having an eBay store front years ago when they changed what I was allowed to sell there. My digital sewing patterns were my main sellers and they no longer would allow digital products. The cost of selling there was high. I let my customers know that eBay was no longer an option and a sweet lady told me about Etsy.


I opened an Etsy Shop and it has been a great fit. But, the cost of doing business on Etsy is high, not as bad as eBay was, but still high.


I opened an ArtFire Studio down the line to expand my customer base and because the cost of doing business there is really low. I have a Pro account, it has been good for me, but the sales are few. I am not complaining, sales are sales and it more than pays for itself. 


(I have tried other venues too and they have not paid for themselves. There are more popping up all over, but I will stick with these for now.)


Enter Zibbet.
It is still new to the market. It has a Free Basic sellers package as well as Paid. I am a Premium member.
Like ArtFire, it has a really low cost of doing business price.
I really like the look of my store front and its ease of use. The support staff are awesome and are available to personally answer questions, and fix any problems right away. 
The Zibbet Shop owners are also friendly and helpful. 
I would really like to drive all my Etsy business to my Zibbet shop. It would save me between $100 and $200 per month in fees alone, that I could put back into my shop inventory.


The prices in my Zibbet shop are lower than my Etsy shop because the cost of doing business is less. 
I also know other Zibbet shop owners are in the same boat and sell for less in their Zibbet shops.


Shop Zibbet and save us both some hard earned money :) Zibbet promotes Handmade, Vintage, Fine Art and Supplies.

My shop carries Sewing Supples for preemies, babies and children.

Ooga Booga Prints, 100% Cotton Interlock Knit Fabric

The popularity of the cute Ooga Booga monster print fabric seems to be spreading internationally, but the availability of the fabric locally is declining.
(I am trying to procure as much as I can, as I find it and can afford it, so I can have it available for you.)

The biggest contributor to the declining availability of this print is that it is not mass produced. It is printed in the US, in 1000 yard lots per color scheme. This makes it hard for the small on-line specialty fabric stores, such as myself, to come up with the printing costs to have just one color scheme printed. The best way to do this was through co-op buying groups, where each of us would purchase a roll of 60 - 90 yards. It also kept the cost down. Now most of the co-ops have quit buying Ooga Booga prints, leaving those of us who want it out of luck. They want to spend their money on different prints for a larger variety of inventory. I can't blame them, as I would like a large variety of prints too. But, I don't want to quit carrying the Ooga Booga's.

I have the Ooga Booga prints available in 11 oz. 100% Cotton Interlock Knit and some in 13 oz. 80/20 Cotton/Polyester Velour.

Here are the Ooga Booga prints that I have in stock. (Adding links and captions to the pictures isn't working, so click the links above for the type of fabric you are looking for).



 

Breaking the FDA code about food coloring safety

Breaking the FDA code about food coloring safety
For decades, health officials have insisted that these artificial food colorings pose no danger. Their basic message has been: "Don't worry about a thing! Eat up!" But it turns out there's a code in that message. And it's an admission that food coloring has a clear downside -- especially for kids. Read the article.
