If you make a lot of stuffed toys, you probably have some good experience embroidering features on the faces of your makes. In this tutorial, I am going to show you how you can embroider on felt with yarn to create adorable seasonal mini wall hangings.
One of my favorite venues for craft shows has been a local gourd farm that sells hand-crafted items made with their gourds. This past September, I had my fifth show at this venue, and it was by far my best show yet! I have learned so much over the years of selling at crochet markets, that I wanted to be sure to tell you all about what made this event such a success.
The Frosty Fun Freeze Pop Sleeve is a quick and easy crochet pattern that works up in about 15 minutes or less. The entire pattern is worked with only one type of stitch, which makes it super beginner-friendly. Due to the limited time commitment, these are great for last-minute market prep or to make a ton for inventory at a huge event!
Summer outdoor markets are a fantastic opportunity to showcase your crocheted creations, but the heat can pose a challenge. Don’t let soaring temperatures curb your enthusiasm! With a bit of preparation and a positive mindset, you can stay cool and comfortable while selling your handmade items.
I am super excited to use my finished Criss-Cross Tote Bag! I have been taking evening walks with my yarn hanging in a bag on my arm so I can market-prep while getting some sunshine and exercise. I can’t wait to use my new, branded tote bag for my walks!
The Criss-Cross Bucket Hat is a free, beginner-friendly crochet pattern for a summer bucket hat/sun hat. Within this post you can find the pattern for five sizes of hats, tips about the pattern, and a yarn giveaway!
I’m not sure what the fascination is with chunky chickens, but the Mabel Chicken pattern by Oak and Marlow has become an absolute best-seller this past year for many crochet market makers. Since I started making them, I have nearly sold out at every show I have done. These are my number one best-seller, so I wanted to take time to share with you all that I’ve learned about this awesome pattern.
The truth is, while you can easily find patterns for a lot of licensed characters online, you probably don’t actually have permission to sell them. I know that it can be really confusing to navigate the details of copyright and usage rights, so I did some research to help you find what you need all in one place!
