For your make-up removal pads having one out, maybe zip tied to the basket or something, would help sell it even more because people love touching things before buying because touch creates emotion to the product. I love this whole list 😍

As a mom of 3 girls, I buy tons of large bows! But none of them are patterned! It's best if they're solid in color in order to better match to existing outfits and can continue to be used as they grow with changing wardrobe. The only patterns I buy are holiday themed ones. Also, make bows that can be used for formal events, velvet, tule, with rhinestones/pearls etc. Hope this helps.

Just wanted to hop on her and thank you! I lost my job during covid and I'm a single mom with 2 kids. I bought a sewing machine before losing my income and now the child tax credit ended. So I'm stressed out so badly I've been losing sleep. I saw the title to this video and a light bulb went off. 💡 A-Ha! I should get my new sewing machine out and start sewing small items to sell in my community. Ive lived her long enough that they will know me and support what I'm trying to do.... Survive! Thank you for helping me look outside the vox and stop feeling powerless. I can do this! 💪 thank you!

I sold at Farmer's Markets for over 10 years, I just retired I was a studio production potter and also had a gourmet jam business. I did VERY well at farmer's markets and always had so much fun. I know quite a few people who did well with their sewing businesses at market as well. When my hubby and I were in college about 30 years ago (man time flies!) we made money to live by selling my sewn dolls and his wood doll furniture at art/craft shows. The best thing about markets is that our kids (who we homeschooled) grew up selling with us and learned business skills they couldn't have anywhere else.

Oh one thing I do suggest - is buy plastic bed risers (you can get them online or at Walmart, etc) and put them under the feet of all your tables. This will bring them up to a height that makes your products look more professional, is easier on people's backs and will make them more likely to shop your booth - having to bend over makes people feel vulnerable and awkward. The psychology of sales is so fascinating!

You are soo clever. Everything is set up beautifully. 👌🏼 I live in a small town too and we all look forward to what will be for sale at the farmers market on the weekend. It feels good to know you’re supporting a local family and taking home , often , a one of a kind handmade item. The surprise bags are really fun. My daughter does surprise bags in her business and she sells a lot of them as well. People love the surprise. Another thing she does it bundling. If you buy a tote bag you get a free bow. Kind of like that.

Ah, thank you! I still need to add more items to my inventory - during fall I would like to do infinity scarves and some other fun warm items. The real challenge is to find a) useful items people want/need b) items that can be made quickly c) items that don't take a lot of fabric as that is one of the biggest expenses. Yes! Bundling is on my list - I just have to sit down and count out the margins and what can I offer as a bundle :) Thank you for sharing your daughter's ideas - super smart!

One idea I've seen and love is vegetable/produce bags made out of recycled saris. It's usually an upcycled poly chiffon, but it's actually strong and so beautiful and almost weightless. They sold them at my co-op for a while as a fundraiser and then sold out. I get compliments on them every single time I use them. They bring joy and are very eco conscious because produce bags are not really recycleable and are difficult to wash and reuse. I think they would be a big seller at a farmer's market. Also a good source for fabric to upcycle are regional goodwill outlets that sell clothing by the pound. If you need a lot of lightweight fabric scraps they would be practically free there...

All good points. I want to suggest always including a plain neutral color. I often pass up items because there is not a plain neutral color. Shoe straps, the fabric that goes around a pump to hold it on or change from work to casual look. Using less expensive material and reversible, double-sided it will be stronger * flat bottomed.

Great Video! I did craft shows years ago. Your idea if small is smart! One thing you might want to do is consider custom work. I did more with that. People would like item and quality but wanted different size or color. I offered shipping and picked up more business because of people wanting to buy but not having room to carry on motorcycle. Grand parents usually with disposable income. Added bonus they wanted something for all grand kids. So I added boy themed items to my mix.

Custom work definitely takes better people skills and more patience. I did some custom knitting for a while but it was painful. Most of the customers loved the idea because they had no clue how to do it, but then had no understanding of the material costs, time, etc. Good for you finding a way to make custom work profitable.

For the canvas totes (and other canvas projects) I tend to buy all my canvas from the sale/clearance aisle, so I get them at cotton prices (or lower) and they’re still fun and amazing patterns. Then I can keep my sale price a bit lower for these items.

Ill buy drop cloths and make the prints myself, its not that hard and youll get exactly what you want. Im an artist, so I have all sorts of specialty tools for it, but you definitely dont need any! It all started when I sewed a bag for myself from an actual used drop cloth, it had been under my easel for years, splattered with paint.. and then my friends wanted some too. All because it was kinda pretty and I had hard time just throwing it out. Repetitive patterns are easy to make, stamps and stencils are great, and just paint and brush can do wonders. Only your imagination is the limit. If you have patience, you can carve wood or lino blocks, erasers, even apples or potatoes work. Just remember to carve mirror images if youre doing letters or numbers. Masking tape is your best buddy for clean lines, magic tape (the one you can write on with a pencil) if you need extra crisp lines or your paint/ink is really runny. You can dye the canvas first, just keep in mind what colors you want on top of it; if the base is very dark, test what paints will show on top of it. Tie dye will never go out, even when its supposed to be out, people love it too much. Check your home for different print makers, one of my greatest hits was a boot print. My mother-in-laws inherited crystal bowl made also really pretty chrysanthemum-like flowers, or the bottom of it. I bought super cheap foam alphabets when my goddaughter started school, between the letters I drew simple little kitties and doggies with textile markers, she used that backpack until it turned to dust.. I upholstered two chairs for a wedding gift, they turned out great. Ive saved all bigger off cuts, Ive used them to patch my jeans, made fabric roses and the rest wait for outdoor quilting project I had in mind. Simple pen or makeup baggies are asked the most, people have always need for them. Dont aim for absolute perfection, handmade should look like handmade; besides, perfection is boring. These are my best tips, I hope youll get something out of them. If you need help or troubleshooting buddy, Im here :)

Thanks for all the tips. Love your pretty stuff. I have an idea for you for your big bows. Maybe make some small plain totes and attach the bows to the front for decoration. I think they would be pretty.

This is really inspiring! I do a lot of crafts, and I'm quite good at some of them, but I never get around to sell anything. I've done some commissions for friends but I find it to be too stressfull. I give away a lot as gifts, which I truly enjoy doing, but it would be nice to earn some extra bucks. People always tell me I should sell my work but I always get tired just thinking about it. However, this way doesn't feel as daunting; I can make stuff at my own pace when I feel like it, and then sell at markets. I live in Sweden so there are probably a ton of regulations, but as markets are a thing, it should be doable. Thank you for yet another great video Alisa!

Sounds like me, I knit, sew crochet, bake almost anything in the line of crafts but never feel confident enough to go out there and do it. I'm in Cape Town South Africa and since the pandemic our markets seem to have dwindled.

Here is an idea that I haven't seen in craft fairs (and I've been to many over the years). How about glam button covers? It would be a great use of sparkly, satiny fabrics to make up a "slip cover" to go over an existing button. For me I had a wooden button (about 1") on a nice black jacket and thought the jacket would also be great for evening wear. The only problem was the button. So instead of buying a new jacket, why not just have a fancy cover to put over the button. It would only need some narrow elastic in a casing around the outer edge of a fabric circle to draw it in to fit snugly over the button. Hope you may give this a try.... Thanks for all your great videos too.
