I've been interested in starting my own clothing business for quite some time. I think there is a HUGE need for stylish, affordable clothing for boys. I remember when I became pregnant with Manny, I was so disappointed in the minuscule selection of clothing for boys. While the girls selection would take up 3/4 of floor space, the boys infant and toddler section would be pushed off to the corner.

Manny is going to be starting preschool in the fall (hopefully), and while he's away, I'm hoping to start my clothing line. It's going to start off small...heat transfered shirts for toddler boys and infants. I would really like to take a silk screening course. I've found a couple of "how to's" on youtube, maybe that's enough.

Of course, with any new business endeavor there's starting costs. The heat transfer machine that I want is just under $300. I'll have to save up some of my own money, and possibly hit up some family members for contributions ;) Then I have to buy the clothing.

I think it's time to get up off of my ass and actually do something about this. I can see it in my minds eye that this could be something great. I would be doing something that I love, and if I could make a couple of bucks in the process then that'd make John happy ;)

Edited to add: I'm working on some designs now, and will be selling these designs through Cafepress.com until I can afford my own press. I'll update with some details later :)
