🎄 Thinking About Fall & Christmas Craft Shows? Start Now! 🧶💛

Have you ever looked at the calendar and suddenly realized...

It's October.

Your first of several craft shows is only a week away.

And you haven't made a single thing yet. 😳

Instead of enjoying the excitement of preparing for the season, you're frantically trying to make inventory, finish projects, price products, and get everything ready while practically heading out the door to the show.

I've been there.

And honestly, it can suck a lot of the joy out of crafting.

That's why now is the perfect time to start building inventory.

And here's the good news:

👉 You don't have to make 20 items a day.

Even making one item a day adds up quickly.

One hat.

One headband.

One pair of fingerless gloves.

One scarf.

By the time fall arrives, you'll have a wonderful selection ready to go and can focus on enjoying the season instead of scrambling to get ready for it.

🌟 Some of My Best Sellers

Over the years, some of my most consistent sellers have been:

🧣 Loop Scarves

🧤 Fingerless Gloves

🧶 Hats

🎀 Headbands - made on both the 22 and the 46 needle machines.

Simple projects often sell better than complicated ones because customers can easily see how they'll use them.

🧶 My Favorite Yarn for Selling

My biggest sellers were made using:

💛 Lion Brand Heartland

Customers loved the softness, the colors, and the overall quality.

💡 My Biggest Craft Show Tip

Don't make products to sell from the cheapest yarn you can find.

I know it's tempting to focus on saving a few dollars on materials, but customers can feel the difference.

Better yarn:

✨ Feels better

✨ Looks better

✨ Photographs better

✨ Gets picked up more often

✨ Helps justify your price

And surprisingly, the increase in your material cost is often much smaller than people think.

A slightly higher-quality yarn can make a huge difference in how well a product sells.
