Field Trips in Fiber - Adventures in quilting, hand dyed fabric and fiber art.

New tool for Etsy sellers

I know that many of my readers are also in the Etsy community with me.  I can't say enough positive things about having a tool like Etsy for a small business seller. It saves a lot of time maintaining an independent e-commerce site so that I have more time for dyeing and sewing.

Just in time for my gradient sale I discovered a new (to me) tool for Etsy sellers. It's called Etsy On Sale. Etsy is great but the features are sometimes less than I need. One example is managing sales. Within Etsy you have to apply sale terms to your whole shop or else go in and manually modify every sale item independently. When the sale is over you would have to go back and do it all in reverse. For my gradient sale of over 50 items that would be a nightmare.

I used Etsy On Sale and it worked brilliantly. It is an application that can modify your shop in one easy step. You enter the shop section, the sale terms, start and end dates and it magically works! It works on credits. You purchase credits for as little as $10. My sale cost 4 credits, or $4.....except that I was given 5 free credits when I opened and my first event was free!

If you own an Etsy shop you might want to try out this great tool too. Here's a link to get you started at Etsy On Sale and you start with 5 free credits.

Special Etsy sale on Terri Stegmiller kits!

Today Terri and I announced that we will be shutting down 3 Creative Studios at the end of the year. You can read all about it here. Working with Terri this past year as been a completel pleasure. I think our skills really complimented each other. To celebrate the fun we had hosting 3 Creative Studios I am putting her art quilt kits on sale for the next week.

Terri designed these 4 great quilt kit patterns. The kit contains the pattern and 2 yards of the gradient. The flowers and stems will be great for some of your own stash fabrics. Batiks, hand dyes or textures are all great for the flowers. The normal price for these kits is $49.95, they are on sale until November 23 for $39.95. Check them out here.
