Im just wondering if it would be worth it sewing things during the summer while i have a time off school, i mean if it really seems plausible that someone would wanna buy the stuff i make. I like to sew but I do lose interest in projects easily (well thats pretty much my whole life haha sweatdrop crying ) But I dont know if what i like to sew for fun (or occasionally for school) is something that other people would want. :-/

These are some fish i made for a friend of mine, the blue one sucks a bit as it was rushed and i made a mistake but didnt have time to fix it.



This is a blanket i made for a sculpture class. The little pockets have some medicines in them and stuff but i guess thats not really important right now. smile


Tihs is a doll i made for my sister.




do you think its worth spending money making these things i mean do u suppose someone would buy them? I also make teeshirts and stuff from stuff I get from the local thrift store and ive got compliments on them but I only make them in the size that fits me, and i doubt anyone wants to wear the tank tops i make (even though they some times look cool)
 
     
My profile is kinda lame and lonely. Cheer it up with comments?


Also, Im not really mean. I just seem that way to you because you dont like what Im saying.

Those fish are adorable! I think its a great idea to work in the summer while you have the time. I'm actually making Halloween costumes for a store in my school's student center. Check around with local businesses that will sell things on consignment. Also, if you haven't heard of Etsy, you should check it out. It's kinda the go to place for crafters to be sellers.

I think you have a lot of potential, and Etsy is a good plan. It doesn't cost much to post your crafts on there, and there's no lugging around to craft shows and such, no big table fees etc. Check out any opportunities you get, especially if you can get your supplies cheaply.

I'd buy the bunny =O

As has been recommended before, http://www.etsy.com is the place to sell your handmade crafts. Registration's relatively painless.
