Submitting designs to clothing stores

As I was saying that I was working on some designs to submit to some stores in the City. I have already started getting butterflies, because I never had to really sit down with someone and talk about my designs and business, so I made so card and wrote things about my clothing line and what is my target market and my mission statement, I still have not got the one line down about my clothing line that will would make people want to know more, this one is hard. You would think after all these years I would have it all down pack, but you don't know what your missing in business until to start presenting yourself to other business.

I'm like most artist trying to open some doors for myself. I know that its has been a long and hard road for me to get were I'm at in life right now but I have come to the end of the road in my career and want to take my passion and turn it into a real business an a life style. You say, I thought you had a business and I say a business does not exist unless there is a business plan to follow.

That something that I have learned working with people that own there on business and that help other people develop start ups. I been around a long time promoting my clothing line and business but I'm just turning it in to business a company

Happy Holiday's

Here it is again the holiday were did the year go, I really don't know, I have been working on some holiday dresses to start putting in stores on consigment. I have a list of stores that I will go to next week and most of them are in the City. I have been working on labels, logo's and other business stuff. I have to say that I thought I was running a business but I was just getting started. I have also completed my PJ's in a bag I will also work on getting the placed on consignment.


It's hard to start a business, let me tell you until you have a business plan completed you are not running the business its running you. I will be meeting with my SCORE counseling next week to let him look over my goals and logo, business card and tags. I also will be spending a lot of time at the small business admin. the reason why I;m working with this agencies is I want to bring my designs and business to a full circle and so I can run it like a well oil machine. I want to be like Bill Gates.

For me, the new year is about coming up, like seven and getting my clothing in someone store. My whole mission for the new year is to get my designers in store that the focus of the year andeverything else will come and go. I feel its time and nothing will happen unless I take some risk and chances

Update

I finally finished my designs for SFFW, now I have to put together my resume and photo and mail them off wish my luck and a little pray want hurt

SF Fashion Week Submission

I have almost got the designs completed, but I did not meet my deadline for Friday. I am going to finish up and take picture and unload them. I was talking to another fashion designer that have submitting there work for the show.

She told me that she not sure how many enter they will be, but as we all know there's a lot of designers that or looking for there big break and I am one of them

I don't know if I would be one of the designers that is selected but at least I went for a dream and if I am not selected, I will move on to the next fashion show or sample sale and still look around for stores to put my designs in.

What the hell it took designers like Michael Kors almost 20 years to make a profit so Iknow I can do it too, I will continue to submit my designs to any open call for designers.

Let me share something with you, I really want to be a part of Gen Art, QVC and Magic so I have plans but it take time.


So to all you fashion for passion people don't give up or get down on your self just because you didn't not be selected to be a part of San Francisco Week or Fashion on the Square there is a show for you just keep submitting and one will open for.

patterns and drawing

Yes,
I have started working on my enter for San Francisco Fashion Week. Lets see I have completed my dtawing and patterning today, selected a color pallaet and got the thread together. I know that I have a lot to complete before Friday and still I do everything I have to do daily, but I feel I can do it and the workmanship will be good.

I have been having a hard time with my time management skills so what I did is completed a thing to do list so I will not lose track of what it is I must complete, Like most people I have a million things that need to be done but don't have time to do it, so I know with this thing to do list I will do well. I posted it on the mirror so I can't forget.


I know that I have been talking about posting picture of my stuff and I have not done it. I also have not learn to upload and that stuff so I will have to get them posted before the weekend when people or not so busy, I will also continue to post on my progress with the submission to San Francisco Fashion Week

On Sunny I was suppose to get my car fixed but the auto tech did not get it running so I will be busing around again. I am getting use to getting on the bus and the schedule so I get around on time. I do have to leave my house early by I also set appointments and meetings close to each other so I don't spend all day on the bus.

This is the real life of a fashion designer in the making

I must get dress for the day I blog some more later

Ready set go

Well its a new day with new things to complete. I try ed to upload some pics last night but couldn't, I also I"m going to a wedding and really wanted to make something really nice and I still have to keep working on my clothing line that I want to start selling and my car need to be fix so I can get the things I needed to complete all my project so today I will be busing it around trying to get the little things I need to complete my project, I still feel like I'm working a full time job. I will post later on my progress and other things

long day

Its been a long day. I have been running around trying to make something happen good for myself, I also have been taking my grand kids to school but as you all know it hard to go back and forth on the bus with two little kids. I have not done any thing with my sewing today, But I feel a little stress out over here because there's not enough time for me

My daugther still have not took out the time to load my picture but I am going to give it a try in the morning but right now all I want to do is rest my feet. so for now I must let you go.

design, design an miore design

I have already started by day off my getting my house work done and now I moving on to the next thing which is finishing up my sewing room which has been a heavy task than it looked. I have took some pictures of my spron but I have to wait unitl someone comes home to upload them becuase I do not know how, but I will learn because its something I need to learn and I am almost finished with the first dress in my dress collection.

I still have to make some called about the fashion show and sample sale venue. I have team up with a diva ream team out of Contra Costa County. Our first meeting is in three days and I have all this stuff I have to complete before the meeting. I don't know how we get ewverything we get done in the time we have to do it.


I hoping that this new business deal goes good and we create beautiful magic together, because as you all know everybody need to work with someone and believe me I have try before and things went way bad and I'm trying it again.


Did I tell you that I am off of work for medical reason so I have the time to create something wonderful, but its taking some time to adjust to a new schedule and I mean I still get up a 4am an have nothing to do for hours. But so far I started writing a thing to do list for myself so when I find my self lost for something to do, I have my list to fell back on.
