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

I'm more excited that people brought my stuff than the money. xx

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

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

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

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

Well done! I'm thinking of risking one near to Christmas.

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
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

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.

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).

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

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

Yep. the $160 was ALL proffit. xx
Do you count your hours of work and overhead as part of your expenses too?

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.

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.
