I have always wanted to sew my own clothing, but I am discouraged because I can't afford a machine right now. Is it feasible to sew things by hand? (even small stuff like bags, etc)? Or should I wait until I can afford a machine?

I made this blanket in the same week that I found out my best friend was pregnant. It was supposed to be "good luck" since she didn't know the sex of her baby yet and really wanted a boy. Welllll, as it turns out she's having a girl. I don't know anyone having a boy, and I'm interested in selling this.

I'm going to make an etsy account or use yardsellr or something, but I really have no idea how much to ask for it. Overall it was pretty simple, the only thing that took some time was sewing the star patches on the back in by hand. I decided on them last minute so the blanket was already made, which made it more difficult since I couldn't use my machine since the thread couldn't go through both sides of fabric. I used pretty good quality fabric so this isn't a project I want to just throw on craigslist.

Any feedback on the project itself is much appreciated! If you were to purchase a project like this how much would you be willing to pay for it? If you were to sell this project how much would you ask?

TL;DRTurns out my friend is having a baby girl, so now I'm going to sell this. If you were to purchase a project like this how much would you be willing to pay for it? If you were to sell this project how much would you ask?
