A day in Keepsel, for baby product makers

  1. Bring in fabrics and trims

    Muslin and cotton by the yard (with their lot numbers, from the Maker plan), snaps and bindings by the piece, gift boxes by the unit.

  2. Recipe each design and size

    A swaddle's 1.2 yards, binding, labels and box, costed per size, since bigger babies use more fabric.

  3. Sew in batches

    From the Maker plan, a work order for ten swaddles draws down the materials while finished stock lands sized and counted (work orders up to 10 a month on Maker as a trial and 100 on Team, unlimited on Business and Enterprise).

  4. Grow into boutiques

    Wholesale asks arrive with numbers ready: true costs, margins at 50%, and stock that supports the order.

Built around how baby product makers actually work

  1. Premium materials are the point

    GOTS cotton, double-gauze muslin, nickel-free snaps: baby-safe inputs cost more, and that's the promise. Real per-yard costing makes sure the price honors what you put in.

  2. Sizes are a stock puzzle

    0–3M through 12–18M means four inventories per design. From the Maker plan, size variations keep each one counted, and your sales show which sizes to sew deep (usually not the newborn).

  3. Records build trust

    Parents ask what it's made of; boutiques ask for consistency. From the Maker plan, Keepsel keeps the lot number of every fabric you receive: quiet diligence that sells.

  4. Gifting means packaging, packaging means cost

    Baby goods are bought as gifts, and the box is part of the product. Cost the ribbon, tissue and box into every piece so beautiful presentation isn't quiet margin loss.

Worked example

This is the math Keepsel does for every product you make: every line from its recipe, updated whenever a material's price changes.

At 50% wholesale this swaddle still clears $6.55 over materials: the number a boutique conversation needs.

Questions baby product makers ask

How do I price handmade baby products?

Cost the premium materials honestly (organic fabrics, safe hardware, gift packaging), add your time, then price with wholesale in mind: if 50% of retail can't cover cost plus labor, the retail price needs to rise before a boutique ever asks. From the Maker plan, Keepsel counts that time in each product's cost.

Do I need lot tracking for baby items?

It's strongly worth it. Keeping a record of which fabric lot went into which batch gives you answers on materials questions and clean records for boutique partners. From the Maker plan, Keepsel keeps the lot numbers of the fabric you receive.

How do I manage inventory across baby sizes?

From the Maker plan, sizes are variations, each with its own count, cost and price. Most makers discover the middle sizes carry the volume: data that reshapes the next sewing week.

How should I prepare baby products for wholesale?

Know each item's true cost, confirm it survives the 50% split, and have stock counts a boutique's order can trust. Boutiques reorder from makers whose numbers and delivery are boring, in the best way.

Can Keepsel track gift packaging as part of the product?

Yes. Boxes, ribbon and tissue are materials in the recipe, so the gift-ready version carries its real cost and the plain version its cheaper one. Package options become priced choices.
