I have started to make some fabric flower brooches for the craft fair. The first time I made these I used brightly coloured floral fabrics. I think the more sedate neutral tones will be more fitting for the autumn. I have no idea of how many to make or even if people will want to buy them! If you have a favourite , which one is it?
I usually only make six of something, then if people are interested, I say I'm happy to make more, but even on a special order again I only make the minimum of say six. Otherwise you could be making the same thing forever!

Never having sold anything it's hard to say how many although I guess you want enough to make a display of some kind. I think I'd go for the ticking one in the middle although I was dithering about the right hand one in autumn shades - I Like them all!
ReplyDeleteI like the middle one best but I also like the tartan one on the right I can imagine each one on the lapels of different kinds and colours of jackets/coats:)
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful Simone, it would be very difficult to choose one.

I've made far too many but they are slowly selling...depends how many markets you are planning to do. xx

they would look lovely displayed in a small wicker basket Simone, I like them all, I am partial to autumnal colours. decide how you are going to display them then make enough for that.

You've picked just the right fabrics for these beauties - if you enjoy making them I'd make a dozen or so - you do need a few in a box under your stall to fill in gaps if they sell well. I find I can always use extras of things I've made too many of as "just a little something" gifts for friends and family.
ReplyDeleteI like the one on the left best. They're very nice, I prefer these to the ones with the fabric covered centres. As the comments so far have shown though everyone likes different things! Good luck with the craft sale. I used to sell my mirrors at craft sales and always enjoyed them, even the ones when I didn't sell much.
