ARE YOUR KIDS STILL NEEDING ...BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES?

Hi Moms: are your kids telling you that they need back to school supplies ? Are you feeling a bit out of sorts because you do not have the time to take them shopping to get the latest trends that they so desperately seem to need? 

You've come to the right place! This is this is the topic of my post today, so read on!

When I was growing up  I don't remember being particularly interested in owning the very latest in Back to School Supplies. Neither school shoes nor bags were seen as important. I didn't care a bit, whether or not I was dressed in the latest trends.

How different it is nowadays, when children are so much more aware of their social standing at school, that you as a parent feels  feel a great  need to go out to school in the latest trends, whether you             want to refer to them as schoolbags, backpacks or satchels. And of course, the same is true of shoes, clothing and accessories.

Now that I am grown, I wonder why time races by so fast, that oftentimes those same back to School supplies have to be purchased in two or even three instalments.  How is that!

HOW CAN I HELP?

In my capacity as Mom's little online helper, I viewed  items in online marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon.com, and Walmart.com, and observed that there are similarities in all, in terms of availability, etc.  Check to see if free shipping is offered, and on what terms. Whenever possible, I recommend you take up this option, although you might not get the item right away. Being an eBay aficionado as well as an affiliate, however, I focus on specific examples from that marketplace and the links will take you to their merchants.



GENERAL SCHOOL SUPPLY PACKS

                            

These  are good for all your kids' school stationery and calculator needs.                                

They  include items such as pens, 

pencils, markers, eraser, scotch tape, glue, as well as calculators and perhaps, paints and artists brushes. 

The size of the pack will depend on the courses being offered at school, or perhaps  and even on the items that you bought earlier in the school year. 

SCHOOL SATCHELS AND BACKPACKS

What child will want to go through the entire school year without a brand new, versatile and comprehensive school satchel/backpack. An ideal  set includes a backpack, lunch bag, pencil case, water bottle, a  key chain and notebooks - a brand-new, unused, and unworn item. These are what are in demand, but other options exist. Some discreet inquiries will reveal some pre-owned backpacks, in excellent condition!

Everybody's favorite!  A Leather Backpack

You can get new  unused, and unworn items (with or without tags) whether in their  original packaging or without it.

Boys usually  like this kind of backpack, but let's not be too stereotypical in approach. As a parent, you should be aware of your child's preferences, and accommodate them as much as possible. When in doubt, ask!

Cute and Versatile! Girls’ School  Leather  Satchel Set,  Crossbody bags and more

The items I viewed in this category had adjustable straps and pockets, suitable for carrying mobile phones. Mostly, they seemed quite durable and water resistant to me. Just consider carefully before you make a final decision to purchase.

                    SCHOOL BOOTS AND SHOES for GIRLS and BOYS

A few girls  might like their winter Back To School boots &  shoes, such as Ankle platform shoes, casual style.

Search the net to find full pages of the total  listings for back to school  boots and shoes. This will give you lots of choices and help you to avoid numerous the trips from store to store that tire you out.

IN CONCLUSION

A new year is starting, and for some moms your kids will need new school  supplies for going back to school in January 2020. If so,  there is no better time to shop for your kids, who have been waiting patiently  for you to remember that even though they might have their new school clothes,  They might still need to get  general school stationery and supply packs,  school satchels, boots and shoes! so, if for some reason, you can't visit the stores, shop online and make your kids happy!

Save and Make Money Through DIY Ladies Fashion

Look everyone! I've been busy since I learned how to save and make money through easy DIY Ladies Fashion.

This started a couple of years ago, when I went to a sewing class and took a practical sewing course. The organizers promised that I'd save thousands of dollars through applying the principles of easy DIY Ladies fashion. Since then I've been making up my own wardrobe, so their promise is certainly turning out to be true.

LA Fraser's Marketplace: sewing class

                                                                                                               

 EARLY BEGINNINGS

The first garments that I  designed,  using the principle of DIY Ladies Fashion, were skirts, such as the one pictured at left.

LAFraser's Marketplace.com: :Orange and gold Ankara print skirt

Although I didn't start off as robust as I'd have liked, I stuck to it, and eventually I got into a regular schedule.

This means that I'd have a special day, usually Friday, to do my cutting, and then I spend Saturday sewing all day.

LATER DEVELOPMENTS

LAFraser's Marketplace: navyankar print top & skirt

Eventually I began to make tops as well. I'd make print tops and pair them with linen skirts. I also tried 

 This proved to be  very economical and suitable for wearing to work.  I liked designing with Ankara fabric because it was summer, (two years ago), and the garments were very cool and comfortable. some of them went to church, as this crisp navy number, at right.     

                                                      

NEW WORK

I now schedule myself so that I do my Easy DIY Ladies Fashion designing in between my blogging, one or two hours on Thursday and Fridays, then sew on Saturdays. 

Here are some of my favorites.

 gold plaid polyester dress with bolero

                                                

      

MAKE MONEY BY SELLING ON ETSY

I have a plan to market my DIY Ladies Fashion collection through an Etsy online store, and it's still there. However, it's not open for business at present, because I decided that for me,  it would be  more economical to wear the clothes than to market them. However, I am still planning to get back into that line.

You can do the same. It's easy to do, and start-up costs are minimal.

You would need:

• a reliable sewing machine
• a guide to pattern making. You can easily get these from an online source such as Wiki How
• access  to an economical source of fabrics - try to find an outlet for factory seconds or that sells fabric by the pound. You should also look out for sale days, which usually occur after the big holidays, such as at year's end, after Easter and at the beginning of summer. 
• staffing - check your local sewing academy for a student or two who'd be willing to assist with stitching seams or doing trim, etc. Or if you have a trusted friend, or if you have kids who're interested in design or DIY.

So you see, you can save and make money through easy DIY ladies fashion. Either wear them yourself or market them through an online marketplace such as Etsy.
