I absolutely love the fact that you are so open and honest about your business. It really helps me who may contemplate making to sell at some stage. And I'd like to mention that I find you very engaging and love listening to you so keep it up I always look forward to your next instalment.
Amen! Exactly what she said! 😁It is so amazingly gracious that you are willing to share that much details of your business! It has been so helpful ! Thank you!
I wish more people would actually be as honest and up front about what sells, and for how much. It's refreshing and useful to hear how a maker, in a comparable location, is doing from month to month. Please do updates regularly.
Absolutely love that you shared this with us and would love for you to continue quarterly with this, yes and thank you. You are one of my favorite people to watch and learn from ❤
Hi Christine. Thank you for being open and honest, it is really nice how you are so up front with us, not only do you share all your amazing crafts you produce , but you are willing to share how well your products sell. Thank you for sharing your kindness with us. Xx
Thank you for being open and honest! It gives me ideas about products for my store and how to maximize the use of custom made fabric AND how to price to move inventory. Invaluable. Bless you.
Very helpful video-trying to sew something simple for a Church fundraiser and I appreciate that you shared how much you charged per item that gives me some what of an idea of how much to charge 👍😊
Absolutely yes Christine, its so kind of you to share your makes and having this kind of information is great insight for small business. Thank you🙋🏻♀️💞
Your shopping bags are so well made (as is everything else) so no surprise they are your best seller; also they are perfect for getting away from the plastic bags we all hate. Well done and hopefully you'll have had even more sales in your next quarterly report :)
I too find it so refreshing to have someone be so honest about what works and what doesn't. I really appreciate that you share your prices too , one day I hope to be able to sell some sewing too, but I am just a beginner now and still have a long way to go before I can do any of the things you have there. I wish someone like you would live near me, so I could learn directly from them. I learn best by doing, I am not good at reading about stuff, so absolutely love being able to watch videos ! Please keep it up, you are an inspiration ! Thank you
I love your honesty! It helps me to set my prices. I used to work in a sewing factory, and I love that like me you join parts of each projects in an assembly line. Sewing slowly also causes me to make crooked seams!
I think that you are a very talented and honest And hard working woman! I admire how hard you work and how you talk about what your top sales are and what you made in the limited top that you made with each product! Thank you very much
Hi Christine, its always helpful to me as a market seller as to which of your awesome products sell well…..thank you for being so upfront and honest. Love watching your videos. Have an awesome night xx
Christina, you are a little gem. I love that your so honest. It blows my mind. You are a true inspiration for so many of us. I could watch you all day and knowing your as honest as you are just makes you that much more likeable. I wish you lived next door coz I know we’d get along famously. New to sewing so I’m just practicing doing a few of your things, and I’m loving it. You rock hun xxxx
Thank you so much Lorraine. You've bought tears to my eyes with your kind words. Welcome to the world of sewing. I hope it brings you many years of joy 😊😊
I love that you share your business ideas, gives me ideas on how I can used my donated fabrics and my skills to make items that people need. Keep up the great job!
LOVE your videos! I love how you share the business side of it…your detailed clear instructions… the why of your choices….and especially how you price your products! You are a true teacher, I love to watch your videos and always look forward to seeing the next one!
I greatly appreciate how open and honest you are, it really helps me! I’m doing local farmers markets and it’s nice to be able to see what works for someone!
It is really refreshing to have an Aussie such as yourself sharing what you do. I really like the open and honest discussion you have about your business. It is something I have been thinking about, but not yet taken the leap. Your videos are inspiring. Would love to visit your town one day when I'm in the area. Thank you very much for sharing.
I love this video! Love your honest direct approach. I'm in the states and love to sew. I've made a few of the grocery bags out of feed sacks but stores still give the plastic ones out so until that stops, my sales won't probably go up a lot - keep making these videos - I really enjoyed seeing your creativity and what sells in Australia.
Hi, I love that you have shared this. It is so hard to get an idea of how things sell. I love all your videos, I recently have had some major health issues and lost all my self confidence. I am now getting back to basics with my sewing with your help, I sold 3 hand towels today which still needed top stitching. Please keep sharing.Thank you.
I love seeing your successful products. I don't do craft shows anymore, however I sew many crafty items for sale. I think that many of your subscribers feel the same, we watch what you are doing and hope to be able to do that in our own tiny part of the world. TY Christine, please continue to showcase your craft.
Hi Christine, I love that you are open and honest. You are an inspiration to me. I hate waste and often bring things home from the recycling center to repurpose. I can now see a way to provide for my son and myself and help the planet in the process. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this video. Love your honesty and so good to know what sells out there. Enjoy your videos as so easy to follow. Great for any beginner.
I'm glad you include the business details, it's motivating. You do a wonderful all around presentation. Always have fun seeing what you're up to! I live in Ohio, used to live in Southern California. Take care!
I love how you are so candid with this (with you about hating making face masks). The Dog Poop bags are brilliant. It's really great to see things like this. Good luck for the future!
I love watching your videos and it is very kind that you share so much with us all. It is great to see what sells well for you and it is also good to see the items that do not sell so well. Please carry on with all that you do, you are an inspiration. Thank you.
What you are doing is so creative and useful! Very neatly constructed. Thank you for taking the time to explain your business. It's kind to provide info to other home sewers.
Absolutely love how open and honest you are! Not only with your sale results, but also with your advice, tips and suggestions in all the videos. Thank you🤗
Back in the day, when I was a flight attendant I used to make fabric paperback book covers that had handles and a built-in bookmark. They were sold in beauty shops, and I sold a lot of them. I would pack up my Singer Featherweight, take it with me on a trip, and do the sewing on layovers. I don't understand why you would hate making the face masks, (but you don't seem to hate making anything else.) They look like very well-designed masks and would really help a lot during these very trying times. They have a great style. I bet health professionals would love them. Thanks for sharing what you make.
Thanks Jay tea. I enjoyed the actual sewing of masks, but hated having to make them to sell as I felt like I was exploiting the needs of people. At the time, they were a lifesaver when all our businesses had to close during shut down, and the only income I had was the sale of masks 🙂
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs So true Christine, but don't feel like you were exploiting anyone please! And those who bought them from you did it by choice! They could have just picked up a cheap mask, but they liked your craftsmanship! 😉😄
I'm just starting to make a business from my sewing and embroidery passion. Your willingness to share these price and volume details is refreshing and immensely valuable. I've subscribed and will watch when I'm not in my crafting room! Thanks a million!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. It's nice to have someone share their experience and show us what's it's really like selling hand made items. This gives me an honest view of what to expect when I start to sell what I have made myself.
Thanks Adel. Depending on different situations, it can certainly be a bit hit & miss with sales. Just when you think you have a fantastic product to sell, one of your least favourite takes off. 😃
I love this video. I have so many people tell me I should sell my items but I don't. I think about it. This gives me encouragement. I love just watching this video. I love seeing all your items, really love the double mitt pot holder. Been on my list for sometime. Please continue with this quarterly.
Go for it! It's not always easy to make sales, but exciting when it does happen. Trust yourself and your products. I highly recommend adding labels to your product. Good luck 😀
Thank you so much for sharing your products that sell well and the selling cost! I have been sewing for over 50 years and never thought I could do well at this, but you have given me the encouragement that I needed! I hope to stock up and to begin in 2023. Thanks again and please continue to share your knowledge with us.
It's lovely to see that you are doing so well. Of course we love your honesty. You are so down to Earth and an Aussie as well. I love your Channel Christine.
I love love love that you are sharing this with us! The things you hand sew and sell are beautiful! So we’ll made! Thank you! That you share with us how to make them also is absolutely amazing ❤️ you are wonderful with explaining all the steps. Keep your videos coming I enjoy them very much.
I love that you are open about your business! I have started sewing again and this helped me know what things are going for even if I am on the other side of the planet from you! Thank you! 💜 💜💜
Christine, I love to see what you make and SO enjoy hearing about how well you are selling and at what cost you sell for. My reason for saying that is because all of us crafter's of what we enjoy doing find sometimes that we do want our products to sell but find that we under sell just for that sale. Makes are worth seem pathetic and or desperate. I have a room FILLED with fabrics and after watching so many different videos here on TH-cam I have purchased some needed items to be able to make some different bags using what fabrics I have on hand. My issue is wanting a personalized label and weighing out either having them made or buying the fabric and making them myself, I don't know. I love the doggie poop bags idea for there are so many pet lovers out there walking their furry ones around and the bags are so nice. Thank you for the videos and keep them coming. :)
Thanks Nicki. I tried making my own labels, but found it tedious and time consuming. When I decided to purchase them, I ordered a very small amount in case it was going to fail. I couldn't believe the difference it made to my sales, and the time I saved not making my own was better spent making my products. I now order my labels in the thousands😀
Have enjoyed listening to your videos...so inspiring when i need an extra boost to keep sewing! Love your open attitude to help those of us dragging our feet sometimes, to realize there's always opportunities to sell our handmade items. And yes, I'm looking forward to hearing how the next 3 mos go for you!
Thanks for sharing. As you say, the shopping bags would be a big seller. And, I agree, those dreaded face masks. I sewed quite a few in the early part of our shut down. I hated sewing them also.
Hi Christine, thanks for sharing more great information. It’s actually quite inspiring to hear the details of your sales, especially for those thinking or planning to make and sell hand made goods. It would be great to have a follow up video of the next three months. And also do you have plans for any seasonal or new items to make and sell? Also I love your channel and can’t wait for your new episodes👍
Thanks Michelle. I be sure to do updates on my sales regularly. I do have a new product that I've just made this week. Video will come soon. I'm always trialing and looking for more ideas to sell in the shop 😀
Hi Christine I think you are fabulous and your products are made with true blue Aussie style. So happy to listen to your honest comments and watch you at work. I have my own party hire business and shop front so I can also showcase my part time passion of creating and sewing with up-cycled materials. We too are seasonal, coming into winter it does get harder to sell, I agree with your comments. Love your honesty and thanks heaps from your fellow Aussie creator!
Thank you for sharing your top 10 asking items. Am just starting a little business. So this has been so helpful. Love your tutorials, as they are very well put together, and I love that you share the odd mistake. As we all do that. Thank you
This is the first video I have seen from you, and I really found it of great help. You're actually sharing a lot of business tips in your short but honest information. (Especially when you pointed out if something was lined or not, and that you could omit the grading of your shopping bag base corners). You have one more subscriber! 🙂💖
G'day Christine, thank you for being so honest and open in regards to your hand made items. I too love your videos. I hope you, your husband and family are well and that life treats you right. Thank you
Thank you so much Christine for sharing this info! It makes me want to keep working on my handmade items! I recently received my first - although small - order of labels from Wunderlabel! I love them and will begin adding them to my projects. I don’t have a shop so I will be using the web to promote my items. You are SUCH an INSPIRATION!! Thank you! Keep smiling 🤩
Love love love your open honest videos they are super inspiring and educational for a biz noobie, and also love that you’re a fellow Aussie! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so much for that detailed breakdown of your items and money made. It is a huge benefit for anyone considering selling their hand made products, what to expect to make volume wiet etc. I would appreciate hearing your tallies a few months down the track too.
I live in the USA. Your products are so very nice!! Do you ever do tutorials on how to make them or sell your patterns? I have never seen an expandable shoe bag. Your quality looks great!
Yes I do Maria. Each of the products in my top 10 have videos showing you how to make them. If you look in the description box below video you'll find all the links there. The shoe bags have been one of my best sellers all year. 😊
I love your honesty in what you have created and what you have sold and how much you have made. Thank you so much for sharing and good information. Continued favor in your business!
Really interesting thank you Christine, great that you are so honest. It would also be interesting to see what your worst sellers are? Anything you’ve made in the past that was a complete ‘flop’ sales wise? Love all your tutorials too, nice to find an honest TH-camr! Huggles from Wales, England x
Thank you Christine. This helps tremendously. I am currently making some stock to sell at the markets in the fall and winter and this type of video really helps motivate me🥰.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I love hearing how your handmade items do in sales. What sells best and even what just does not work. Love watching all your videos.
I stumbled upon your channel and I absolutely love it, thank you for sharing. I learned to sew from watching my grandmother in the Island of Jamaica, I live in the US now and I do a little bit of sewing but I've been ready to do a little bit more so I can resell and make a little money. Thank you for inspiring me to push forward.
Delighted that you were straightforward with your sales and your prices. Nicely done. Loved the descriptions, the right amount of narrative, and the 10 to 1 countdown.
Thank you for sharing. Your openness is refreshing. Your detailed videos certainly are encouraging many viewers to take to their sewing machines. I am watching them from Canada Bless you and cheers to your continued success.
Very interesting love your blog nothing wrong with letting people know what you get for using your talents ,and it helps people like me who never know what things are worth when people ask me to make and sell
I absolutely love the fact that you are so open and honest about your business. It really helps me who may contemplate making to sell at some stage. And I'd like to mention that I find you very engaging and love listening to you so keep it up I always look forward to your next instalment.
Thank you so much Angela 😊
I totally agree. It’s one of the things I really like about Christine!
Amen! Exactly what she said! 😁It is so amazingly gracious that you are willing to share that much details of your business! It has been so helpful ! Thank you!

Your shopping bags are so well made (as is everything else) so no surprise they are your best seller; also they are perfect for getting away from the plastic bags we all hate. Well done and hopefully you'll have had even more sales in your next quarterly report :)
Thanks Lesley. I started making these for that reason. When plastic was supposedly banned here, they really took off. 😀
I too find it so refreshing to have someone be so honest about what works and what doesn't. I really appreciate that you share your prices too , one day I hope to be able to sell some sewing too, but I am just a beginner now and still have a long way to go before I can do any of the things you have there.

I love your honesty! It helps me to set my prices. I used to work in a sewing factory, and I love that like me you join parts of each projects in an assembly line. Sewing slowly also causes me to make crooked seams!
Thanks Joetta. It's very satisfying to have a production line of sewing. All of a sudden, everything is finished at once!! 😁
I think that you are a very talented and honest
And hard working woman! I admire how hard you work and how you talk about what your top sales are and what you made in the limited top that you made with each product! Thank you very much
Thank you Deborah 😊
I love finally seeing someone being open and honest about what sells well. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Val 😀

You can do it David. Mine began as a side hustle too, and some days it's all I sell 😀

Just saw this channel tonight.
Great sewing 🪡

Wow! Those prices seem kind of high. God love you for being able to sell them. Does look like excellent quality work though.
Thanks Sharon. These prices are in Australian dollars, where everything is high 🤪
Just keep going, love that you give us ideas and how much you realistically charge thankyou.
Thanks so much Susan 😀
Hi Christine I think you are fabulous and your products are made with true blue Aussie style. So happy to listen to your honest comments and watch you at work. I have my own party hire business and shop front so I can also showcase my part time passion of creating and sewing with up-cycled materials. We too are seasonal, coming into winter it does get harder to sell, I agree with your comments. Love your honesty and thanks heaps from your fellow Aussie creator!
That's fabulous Julie. Isn't it great that you can compliment your main business with your sewing passion! 😀
It's a joy to hear about your quarterly sales. I hope you keep us posted from hear on in.. Congratulations.
Thank you! Will do! 😀
Thank you for sharing your top 10 asking items. Am just starting a little business. So this has been so helpful. Love your tutorials, as they are very well put together, and I love that you share the odd mistake. As we all do that. Thank you
You are so welcome! Thank you😀
This is the first video I have seen from you, and I really found it of great help. You're actually sharing a lot of business tips in your short but honest information. (Especially when you pointed out if something was lined or not, and that you could omit the grading of your shopping bag base corners). You have one more subscriber! 🙂💖
Thank you so much. Welcome aboard!😀
G'day Christine, thank you for being so honest and open in regards to your hand made items. I too love your videos. I hope you, your husband and family are well and that life treats you right. Thank you
Thank you very much Karen😀
Thank you so much Christine for sharing this info! It makes me want to keep working on my handmade items! I recently received my first - although small - order of labels from Wunderlabel! I love them and will begin adding them to my projects. I don’t have a shop so I will be using the web to promote my items. You are SUCH an INSPIRATION!! Thank you! Keep smiling 🤩
Thank you Tina. Hope the labels prove successful 😀
I'm glad you put the best sellers and how much you made. Many people do not know how to price out what they made.
Thanks Denise. I think it's been one of the best kept secrets for some time 🤪
Love love love your open honest videos they are super inspiring and educational for a biz noobie, and also love that you’re a fellow Aussie! Thank you for sharing with us!
You're very welcome Leanne. Thank you 😀
Thank you for being so open and honest, I love your channel!!
Thank you so much Benita!!
Thank you SO much - your presentation is brilliant & your honesty is both refreshing and very helpful. Encore encore!
Thank you so much Bindy 😀 🙇♀️
Kindness is sharing your knowledge! Much appreciated blessing!
Thank you Martin 😀
Thank you so much for that detailed breakdown of your items and money made. It is a huge benefit for anyone considering selling their hand made products, what to expect to make volume wiet etc. I would appreciate hearing your tallies a few months down the track too.
Thanks Jess. Almost another quarter finished, and I can report back again soon 😀
Fantastic to see someone being so honest and sharing your makes. Gives us all ideas x
Thanks Sandra. Hope you have plenty of ideas for your fabric 😀
I live in the USA. Your products are so very nice!! Do you ever do tutorials on how to make them or sell your patterns? I have never seen an expandable shoe bag. Your quality looks great!
Yes I do Maria. Each of the products in my top 10 have videos showing you how to make them. If you look in the description box below video you'll find all the links there. The shoe bags have been one of my best sellers all year.
😊
I love your honesty in what you have created and what you have sold and how much you have made. Thank you so much for sharing and good information. Continued favor in your business!
Thank you so much Karen 😀
It’s so kind of you to share your experiences selling handmade items. ❤️
Thank you Nicole 😊
This is great to see 👍👍 I would love to see more of these. Thank you for sharing 👏 Stay safe healthy and happy 😃✝️🇺🇸
Thank you. I'll be sure to keep everybody updated in future videos 😀
Really interesting thank you Christine, great that you are so honest. It would also be interesting to see what your worst sellers are? Anything you’ve made in the past that was a complete ‘flop’ sales wise? Love all your tutorials too, nice to find an honest TH-camr! Huggles from Wales, England x
That's a great idea Louise. I have many flops. Will do a report soon 😁
Thank you Christine. This helps tremendously. I am currently making some stock to sell at the markets in the fall and winter and this type of video really helps motivate me🥰.
Thank you for sharing your biggest sellers and how much you've made. You're items are so beautiful!
Thank you Lisa 😊

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I love hearing how your handmade items do in sales. What sells best and even what just does not work. Love watching all your videos.
Thank you Karon 😊
Yes, we like open and honest! I love your videos and want to know what sells. Years ago I sewed for a couple of shops when my children were little.
Thanks Ellen. 😀
Well done. Thanks for sharing. It just shows that selling just a few things soon mounts up a bit of cash !👍
It was very surprising to see RubyMay😀
I love how open and honest you are about what you sell. Thank you so much.
You're welcome Narelle😀
Absolutely love how open and honest you are. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for everything you do.
I was just looking through your videos. I didn’t see one for your shopping tote. Maybe I overlooked it.
You are so welcome Lucy. Thank you 😀
Here it is Lucy 😀 th-cam.com/video/LSXNylYWGDU/w-d-xo.html
I stumbled upon your channel and I absolutely love it, thank you for sharing. I learned to sew from watching my grandmother in the Island of Jamaica, I live in the US now and I do a little bit of sewing but I've been ready to do a little bit more so I can resell and make a little money. Thank you for inspiring me to push forward.
You're very welcome, and I hope you have great success reselling your products 😀
Yes for sure, love that you can be honest and tell us the in's and out's of your business. I love your videos and I wish you did classes. 😀🧸
Thanks Leah. I used to do classes, but the shop is too full of treasures now to fit anybody 🤣🤣
Each video is a class as far as I'm concerned. Thanks.
Yes, I love how open and honest you are! I love your videos too.
Thanks Gale 🌞
Always happy to rear your favs and best sellers. Thanks!

Delighted that you were straightforward with your sales and your prices. Nicely done. Loved the descriptions, the right amount of narrative, and the 10 to 1 countdown.
Thank you Elisa😀
