We manufacture it all HERE in house and I do all the design work and have no time to make sales calls. Luckily for us is we are getting 1-3 calls a week to open up new accounts, and with the economy I feel pretty good...knock on wood fast! Again - way to go, congrats on all the sales calls!

We have local manufacturers that actually produce the products. But I do get my hands into making the prototypes and doing the fit testing. I also have to admit that I took on a side project and promised people some stuff I have to sew and no matter how hard I try, I can not make the time to do it. The biggest cloud over my head right now (as I sit here writing instead of just getting it off my plate!). Hi Laura and welcome!

Do you have to make time for that as well? How do you present your line when you just drop by a boutique? I am wondering if you make your items? Do you have to make time for that as well?

I find it easy to fill up my day not doing sales and wondering where the time has gone. I have the same problem.
