I got all of my screen printing equipment today and most of my shirts yesterday!
Now it is all over my “dining room”
THINGS JUST GOT REAL! I have a little over a week to get sooo many things done:
1. Make Merchandise (kind of important)
2. phone number
3. business cards
4. website
5. clothing tags
I can’t do any of this until I decide on a name. I actually already registered a domain for one of the two names I was thinking of using but now that I have a logo and some designs I am questioning if this is the right name.
The two names are: “Seams” and “Scarlette” or variation on the second “Scarlette Michelle”
Now would probably be the time to explain what kind of business I plan on having. I want to do a clothing line that starts with screen printed art print shirts featuring mine and hopefully soon, local artists artwork. Eventually (when money allows expansion) I would like to add in dresses, skirts, pants and accessories for home and person that are trendy yet classic enough you can wear them over and over again with a focus on quality materials/ construction.
I’m struggling with the name because “Seams” feels like a small arty brand, not super specific but also clearly clothing/sewing related. I also like the punny tag line “Life isn’t as it seams” while “Scarlette” or “Scarlette Michelle” is more encompassing of other items not specifically sewing/clothing related, its also my name, and I don’t feel like it has a predisposed feeling, I can make the brand feel however I want.
I need to make a decision right now. Like by tomorrow so I can work on all of those things on my list above. This whole questioning started after I made my logo:
Its me…but not because it could be anyone
Then some of my art work:
Vintage Gal
3D Jammer
These are the designs I made specifically for Roller Derby/RollerCon I do have other designs that aren’t done/roller derby related but this is a start. I am hoping these plus the others I am taking to RollerCon do well enough to put more money into this to make more things!! Yay for making stuff!!
*sigh* what to do, what to do. I guess I will dwell on it some more, ask more people and just print stuff in the meantime.
XOXO
