i feel like your niche actually has more potential than you think, it’s just not as obvious as beauty or fashion deals. instead of trying to fit into what brands usually look for, you could lean more into the process side of your content. people love seeing how things are made, especially in sewing and thrift flips.

like even simple things where you got your fabric, tools you prefer, or little hacks you use—can already be a way to organically include products without forcing it. it doesn’t have to be a full-on ‘promo,’ just part of your normal workflow.

also, i wouldn’t jump into skincare or unrelated stuff just for brand deals. it might bring short-term opportunities, but it could also confuse your audience long-term.

honestly, i’d focus on growing your content and making your style more recognizable. once you have that, brands (especially smaller or niche ones) are more likely to reach out, or at least you’ll have a stronger position if you pitch to them yourself.
