Wow! Those are pretty! Unfortunately Mitzi has her summer cut so we can't use them.
About selling them: I know what you're talking about! I make special pillows that stay where you put them and it is very hard to get them in shops. Maybe you could contact pet shops, preferably privately owned and put them in consignement. I also tried ebay but had no luck so far.
Finding the right price: Calculate the cost of fabric then ad about $2 to $5 for your labor.
Then look at websites and other sources to find out what other people charge for a product similar to yours and evaluate your price accordingly.
Don't be shy to ask for a good price! People will pay for quality, uniqueness and beauty. In my experience a lower price doesn't sell better.Think of a catching name, maybe a little exotic.
When you go to the Vets and groomers do you take your Yorkie with a pretty bow with you? That might help a lot.
If you would like to have a website, I could help you with that (just for fun, no costs for you.)
