Any ideas on how to start my own clothing line? -

I love to design t-shirts, jeans, lingerie, etc...I love the creative process behind it...I love the pressure in getting everything done, I love sewing - I love it all. Does anyone know how I might go about selling any of my final product? I don t even know it any of it is any good, but I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from family telling me I should pursue it - so any ideas?
