Yippy!! I made $160 at my first craft show. I sold about half my stock which was mostly blanks like baby blankets, tea towels & hand towels. Sew very happy. Lyn. xx

Thank you Cuties. Your appreciation & well wishes mean heaps to me. Love & flowers to you all. Lyn. xx

How nice Lyn. That's the best thing to happen

way to go!

Congratulations! I also did a Market last weekend. They are trying to revive one that was on its last legs but just 5 minutess from me. I just had to go other wise if we don't turn up it might fold. I took only $25 but fingers crossed that it will become what it used to be with change of management.

Fingers crossed for you. xx

Congrats Lyn, that's great. There was certainly a great variety of things there over a range of prices, many ideas for the future. I think I saw most of yours but didn't see you. xx Bev.

Thanks Bev, sorry I missed you. Lyn. xx

In the long run after you figured in the price of the blanks and your time do you feel you made a profit?

Do you count your hours of work and overhead as part of your expenses too?

Way to go girl! Cindy B

way to go - makes you want to do another one. I have never done a show - I think I get frigtened away by what others say they do or don't do at these shows. I do like to attend them when I am able - just like to look. LOL

Way to go i am sitting here smiling for you hugs

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations - that is a nice sum - especially for a first show. We get "juried" next week for a show we are hoping to get into this fall. We have already been working on building stock with the hope we are "in" (I work full time so I have so little time for the fun stuff - sewing).

Great....I do only 2 a year now. But do sell online.

Good job!.... especially if that was after expenses, etc. I never do more than one of a kind of anything. People like that. I would be interested in knowing about what you charged, and how much you started with.
I don't know which is best -- a lot at low prices, or just a few with higher prices.

My advice is do it at least once. Then you know. I did things with friends & family in mind thinking if they didn't sell I'd use them as pressents. Good luck. xx

by lyns 02 Jul 2012

Besides... with the amazing ideas you come up with, you'll sell the lot & get orders. PS - thanks for sharing those amazing ideas. Lyn. xx

I agree you would definately do well Sue Hugs Loralye

Very Good. It's lovely to sell well and if you save time using blanks even better. Jan

Lyn that is a fantastic result. My question is also: What was the bestseller?
Greetings, Bettina

Best seller was hand towels, tea towels & toilet paper. I used assorted designs from everywhere & only made one of each. Sorry, I know that doesn't help much, I just used what I liked. xx

Excellent tally, Lyn. What had you put on those things that sold the best?

terrific, always great when people appreciate our craft
