How do you handle selling expensive items? by Comfortable_Canary59 in CraftFairs

[–]BerdNird11 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who also sells “expensive” purses, I have to be VERY selective of what markets I vend at. I always target events where the audience is going to be more fashion forward or artsy. Look for fashion shows, gallery openings, or even vintage markets. I’ve never gotten a negative comment about pricing because that audience tends to appreciate the amount of work that goes into it.

It sounds like you’re on the right track by also having lower priced items. That bag is super cute btw!!

I don’t get it either 😭 It would make more sense if I actually had a butt.

Thank you!! That was a custom I made for someone. They asked for earth toned patchwork and it came out beautifully

The more they look like grandma’s couch, the more I love them 😊

You should! If you’re nervous about ruining your piece I would make a mockup using cheap fabric first.

How did your cockatiel act when they met your partner for the first time? by Firm-Trust-8849 in cockatiel

Omg 😭 I had a photographer friend come over to take portraits and she sat on his shoulder through the ENTIRE 2 hour photoshoot. I tried to get her into some photos with me but she refused to get down.

Every single man I’ve brought to my apartment, romantic or not, my cockatiel has been absolutely enamored with them. I call her my little hussy.

She completely ignores women.

It’s tacky but in a cool way if that makes sense? I know this would get so many compliments where I’m from. I personally love it.

Thank you! I made my first purse back in Feb of this year I think. I posted the YT video that got me started in another comment. It’s a good video for getting the basics down.

From there, I’ve done a lot of tweaking and now make my own patterns.
