Please continue to share this information, it really helps anyone wanting to sell their items. Your openness and honesty is appreciated and inspiring, well done. After only very, very recently finding your TH-cam channel, I look forward each day to finding another of your step by step instructions for making wonderful items, your pricing and your inspiring videos. Thank you Christine xxx
I find these videos very helpful. In the past when trying to price items, I asked another seller how she arrived at her prices and she told me to “mind my own bloody business”! So I really appreciate you being so open about the money side of things.
My mornings would be so bland without you Christine!! You have helped so many attempt projects they never would have tried before. I never would have tried a hidden zip bag. Thank you for hanging out with us via TH-cam!!
I love seeing your sales figures every 3 months even though I don't sew to sell myself. It's very interesting to watch the "top ten" sales each time and to see your business growing.
Oh yeah we want more sharing like this! So many people take it for granted that we all know how to find reclaimed fabric, how to fine sew on tags, how to price our art without giving the bank away, etc,etc! I can’t thank you enough for sharing !😄
Hi Christine, you can tell by all the likes and comments that we all appreciate what you do and share, I look forward to the next quarterly update and everything in between, keep them coming
Yes Fay. I'm totally amazed by the number of comments, and all the positivity. I really thought this type of video had run it's course. I too appreciate each comment, support, and the feedback I receive. It's like a really big supportive family😊
Hi Christine I am just starting out and have taken so much encouragement and information from you and would honestly say if I hadn't found you on TH-cam I would have given up by now...... Please keep doing everything you do 👍🙃
I enjoy these videos and would also like to hear about your online sales. I’m glad you mention what you don’t want to make anymore as well. That reminded me that I don’t need to keep making something I don’t enjoy making just to earn a bit. Stick to what brings joy!
The idea of putting labels on your items is one I'm going to send on to my son, who makes items to sell from plastic bags. Thank you for the information. Please keep posting.
Well, another remarkable video I think if you stop doing these, you might have a riot on your hands...... I love watching you and how you go about this business ...I can only dream...but one day I might be as good as you keep up the good work as Im recovering from my knee surgery and a heart problems post surgery and unable to sew you are my inspiration and I cant wait to sew again .....dont cha miss it❤❤❤❤❤
I check TH-cam every morning to see if you have a new video posted. It’s one of the highlights of my day when you do! I don’t sew to sell but I do sew to donate - I have learned so much from you. Keep it coming, please!
Thank u. I love watching your videos and listening to your comments and tips. My grandson and I we more into gym wear hoodies and track suits. We do some tote bags with lining and pockets and bucket hats. He advertise on line. I started teaching him to cut and sow. He's not full-time in it but with every minute he has spare. So thank u very much from South Africa.
I know income from TH-cam is a gamble, but as you get closer to your Silver Play Button, I hope you get enough to justify all the work you put into your videos. I enjoyed seeing today's video very much. Thank you!!
My gram taught me to sew before I started school. Oh what fun and beautiful things we made. Drove the home ec. Teachers crazy. Garment factory's at 16. Worked up to floor super. 1991 opened my shop and thank God every day with my all I've learned (so far).I too salvage anything. Thank you. And always have fun
Christine, You are a valuable source. Your work ethic. Recycling. Teaching others in creative sewing, business. Sharing it all with the whole world! God is blessing you on this journey. I pray that you'll reap what you SEW. 😉 ❤
Please keep making these videos...they are very informative, and I really enjoy watching you, and seeing what your best sellers are...thank you Christine for all that you share with us!
This type of video is extremely helpful. I hope you continue to make them. I love your answer for people who comment on being able to make the item themselves cheaper 🤣🤣
Hi Christine, please don’t stop doing these videos as I find them very interesting and encouraging. I do local village markets and they’re not always good, so you have to take the good with the bad. I’ve learnt so much from your sewing tutorials and I also try to get fabric that would go to landfill but sometimes I do have to buy fabric for lining. My biggest outlay is paying for my table/space which can range from £5-£20 for 2-3 hrs but I try to put a ceiling of £15 and only 20 if it’s a real special event. I’m in the U.K. so it’s difficult to equate Sterling to dollars. Keep up the good work! BTW custom fabric labels are soo expensive here. Gx
Yes, I too appreciate your journey of making and selling your products. The information is great for me as I am planning on making my income through this type of thing when I retire from my current job that I’ve been at for years doing alterations. 👍❤️
Definitely continue these sales videos! It is very interesting and is an inspiration for me. Watching your videos, both sales and instructional, has given me the confidence to give "sewing to sell" a go. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your personal information as far as sales. It's a guideline for me if I were to choose to enjoy my hobbies full time and sell them. I enjoy your videos, please keep us posted.
Thank you for sharing your results Christine. I’m trying to get enough stock together to do a few craft fairs so I really appreciate your information ❤
I love that you share, it is inspiring!! P.S. I do love the puppy poo bag. I made one with no hole to add to my handbag for the change I always seem to drop in the bottom. It made it easier to find that penny I always seem to need so I don’t have to break a dollar😊 I call it my penny pouch. Thank you so much for the lessons in batch sewing,I really enjoy them.
Please don't ever stop!! Your videos have inspired me SOO much and I've learned SOOO much!! You are such a wonderful and fantastic teacher ots like having my grandma back again showing me all the things I never got a chance to learn! (Not a dig at your age at all, but a compliment at how well you teach!) Much love from middle of nowhere USA!!
you're an inspiration to so many. Keep doing your channel the way you do it. Those of us who follow enjoy you just the way you are. Those that dont have to choice of scrolling on by.
Please do continue to share your business information. Love your products, tutorials and wonderful personality. Cheering you on to many more successes!
Yes Christine please continue showing this kind of video. It's very interesting and it's good to see the results of your hard work. Thankyou for sharing your sales and product information, not many would. Love your videos. 😊😊😊
You are very generous to share all of your knowledge and the results of your hard work. I would love to see you continue sharing the performance numbers. Your are providing a valuable service to all of your viewers!
Thank you for all the time, hard work, insight, encouragement, tips, tricks, patterns, and humor you give us all with every post. I have been steadily working towards opening my own little line and I have been working as an industrial seamstress due to the confidence I learned using your techniques. You're an inspiration to us all. P.S. Your fur baby is adorable too!
Hi Christine, yes, please continue sharing! I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much for all that you share. I am inspired to start selling some of my sewing products this year. Many of which I learned how to make from you. :
Christine, please don't stop what you are doing. You are such an inspiration to me... and I'm sure many others. Thank you for sharing. And I'm sure if taking a little more of Chris' space provided more family income, he'd be happy to move over a bit!!! 😅
Yes please….your info is very valuable to me. I started sew to sell a year ago and vendor at festivals. I’m excited to do more this year. Your videos are extremely valued by me. Thank you.
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs ♥️♥️♥️😁 I hemmed my 10th cloth napkin today and feel so optimistic about what I'm going to learn to do as I continue on the path. Thank you for being you!
It's very interesting to know what you've sold and what are your best sellers. Good to see the shopping bags are top of the list which is helping to eliminate those plastic bags. So cold here today - which you could send me some 🌞 sunshine 🤣
I fully enjoy and appreciate your openness about your sales. I'm not a "business" person at all. I've pretty much only sold on fb. I've done some fairs, (which I absolutely hate). I simply don't have the business sense to really make a go of it, but I certainly do appreciate those that do. Enjoy!
I love that you are sharing this information. Most people don’t want to share as they fear losing out on sales. I enjoy watching all your videos. Keep providing all this valuable information.
I think your videos are fantastic. You are so generous to share your skills, makes and what your earnings. It is so helpful to people like me, who sew at home and have no confidence even though I'm told I should make to sell. Maybe new year I will give it a go. Thank you
Yes, please keep going the way that you have been. I just started watching, and it's all been interesting, informative, and entertaining. I mentioned in other comments, probably on older videos, that the best teachers are on youtube. Thank you for being you and sharing it with us! Very well done! ❤
Thank you for sharing! I do a few craft events to help with keeping our heads above water. I’m so thankful for the items you share and how to create them. You are amazing!
Oh please, Christine, don't stop. I think it is wonderful that you can show people how they can make some extra money to help out in this economy. I am suppose to be retired (lol) but my pensions just barely cover so I returned to my love of crafting and I can easily match my pension income which makes live a lot easier and I have fun doing it. WIN WIN definitely. As you know I am one of your fans that count the days/hours until you have any video but especially these ones (I like to see how close I can come to guessing (I'm old, lol) Surprised about the towels & card holders but you have so many great products I know you have to plan your time. Haven't heard about the scrunchies lately, lol. Hope you have a great New Year.😃😀
Thanks Judi. I have to say, if I didn't turn to alterations and selling my products, I'd have had to go find a "real job". It was a real saviour for me financially at the time. I haven't been making scrunchies lately. I just haven't had the time. 😀
I definitely want you to continue with your excellent videos!! I am so excited about this great resource - you are such a good teacher, and so easy to listen to! I have learned so much in the past year since I discovered your TH-cam channel, and I am grateful that you are so open-handed with your easy-to-follow instructional content! I have lots of rescued fabric, too, and had tried to figure out what to do with it all - just letting it sit for months (years!!) because I couldn't figure out how to use it. You have helped me get busy and really use it - I am headed to a large craft show on November 2, just about a week and half away now, with over 100 Supermarket shopping bags in a couple of sizes and many cosmetic bags, puppy poo pouches, and Kleenex pouches, among other things! I couldn't be doing this if it weren't for your help - so THANK YOU so much!!
Thank you for making this video, I really hope you will keep doing them. I’m just starting out on a hand sewing business and to know that you are successful at it is very inspiring 😀
Total inspiration Christine, for the young and not so young .... Don't ever stop. Funny you said you hand the YT card to people that say: 'I can do that.... ' totally relate. take care and keep smiling 🙂
Keep it coming Christine, I love watching your progress. Even if you only inspired one person to make to sell, it is worth it, for that person may go on the share the knowledge! Thank you
I’m a new follower from the USA. This was very helpful in many ways-I have been collecting fabric samples for decades and have made some bags (not anywhere near as nice as yours), but never sold or even gave any away. My daughter-in-law recently moved in with us from Brazil and she learned to sew from her family’s business. She’s been wanting to do something to help with finances, and now I have an idea of what she might be able to do. I love your tutorials, and appreciate how generously you share your knowledge and experience. Wishing you continued success❤
Thanks so much Suzy, and welcome to the channel. This will be a great way for your daughter in law to contribute, and also get out and meet some new people😁
Hi Christine. You wine bottle bags went down a treat with my grand daughters teachers. Along with the wine inside. Other teachers are asking when my grand daughter is going to go into there class's 😂😂. A big hit and they are now being used for a selection of things x
Please keep doing videos. You were my inspiration to start making bags,purses. And we do get fabric samples from furniture stores just like you! Thanks so much
Thank you for sharing your sales information,I find it very interesting,I would love you to continue with it,well done on your sales that is brilliant.
Please, do continue to share! I just recently found you and your channel, but I have really enjoyed them! I am trying to start my own bag business and you have given me lots of ideas. I used to love to sew when I was younger and I want to pick it back up to make and sell products!

Thank you Pauline. That's so lovely😀
I find these videos very helpful. In the past when trying to price items, I asked another seller how she arrived at her prices and she told me to “mind my own bloody business”! So I really appreciate you being so open about the money side of things.
I had to laugh at that Jackie, but some people can be quite mean. 😀
My mornings would be so bland without you Christine!! You have helped so many attempt projects they never would have tried before. I never would have tried a hidden zip bag. Thank you for hanging out with us via TH-cam!!
haha, thank you Wendy. I've really enjoyed hanging out with everyone too. It's been great for my confidence😀
I agree!😊
I love seeing your sales figures every 3 months even though I don't sew to sell myself. It's very interesting to watch the "top ten" sales each time and to see your business growing.
Thanks Paula. It's been a real eye opener for me too😀
I really like the fact that not only do you share patterns, you share what you've made when items sold. Very helpful. Love your videos!
Thank you. I find it very helpful for me to refer back to as well😀
Yes please ... keep sharing your sales progress. Its very encouraging, especially when you share your prices as well. Love your channel ❤
Thank you. I'll keep it up😁
Oh yeah we want more sharing like this! So many people take it for granted that we all know how to find reclaimed fabric, how to fine sew on tags, how to price our art without giving the bank away, etc,etc! I can’t thank you enough for sharing !😄
Thank you so much Joyce😀
Yes, please keep reporting your sales, it is so valuable. I don't think anyone thinks your bragging, just informing us. Thank you and congratulations!
Thank you Mable😁
Please dont stop ! I have been thinking about selling my things and this gives me ideas and what I can expect !

Hi Christine
I am just starting out and have taken so much encouragement and information from you and would honestly say if I hadn't found you on TH-cam I would have given up by now......
Please keep doing everything you do 👍🙃
That's so lovely Tracy. I'm so pleased you didn't give up😀
I enjoy these videos and would also like to hear about your online sales. I’m glad you mention what you don’t want to make anymore as well. That reminded me that I don’t need to keep making something I don’t enjoy making just to earn a bit. Stick to what brings joy!
Thanks Kelly. Totally agree. If it isn't enjoyable, all it does is bring you down. It's not always just about earing that extra buck😀
The idea of putting labels on your items is one I'm going to send on to my son, who makes items to sell from plastic bags. Thank you for the information. Please keep posting.
I hope it proves a success for your son Elaine. Thank you😁
Well, another remarkable video I think if you stop doing these, you might have a riot on your hands...... I love watching you and how you go about this business ...I can only dream...but one day I might be as good as you keep up the good work as Im recovering from my knee surgery and a heart problems post surgery and unable to sew you are my inspiration and I cant wait to sew again .....dont cha miss it❤❤❤❤❤
Haha, imagine a riot for quitting sewing. Take care with your recovery. You don't want any setbacks Jen😁
Don't stop I find it very interesting even though I no longer have a shop myself. Really enjoy your tutorials as well.
Thank you so much Jenni😀
I check TH-cam every morning to see if you have a new video posted. It’s one of the highlights of my day when you do! I don’t sew to sell but I do sew to donate - I have learned so much from you. Keep it coming, please!
haha, Mum does the same. If I go more than two days without uploading a video, she calls to complain😁
Please continue sharing your sales along with your great tutorials.
Thank you. I'll keep them coming😀
Yes, please keep doing thes Christine ❤ Great insight we can't get elsewhere
Thanks so much Leslie😁
Thank u. I love watching your videos and listening to your comments and tips. My grandson and I we more into gym wear hoodies and track suits. We do some tote bags with lining and pockets and bucket hats. He advertise on line. I started teaching him to cut and sow. He's not full-time in it but with every minute he has spare. So thank u very much from South Africa.
Thanks Eileen. What a wonderful experience for you and your grandson😀
I know income from TH-cam is a gamble, but as you get closer to your Silver Play Button, I hope you get enough to justify all the work you put into your videos. I enjoyed seeing today's video very much. Thank you!!
Thank you Dannie. That plaque is probably still going to take another year or so. Looking forward to it though😁
I personally look forward to your quarterly and annual reports!
Thank you. It's been really valuable information for me too, to have something to compare😀
My gram taught me to sew before I started school. Oh what fun and beautiful things we made. Drove the home ec. Teachers crazy. Garment factory's at 16. Worked up to floor super. 1991 opened my shop and thank God every day with my all I've learned (so far).I too salvage anything. Thank you. And always have fun
What a lovely memory Patricia. Thank you for sharing😀
As a maker, I appreciate this information. Please continue. ❤
Thank you Carol. I will😀

Please keep making these videos...they are very informative, and I really enjoy watching you, and seeing what your best sellers are...thank you Christine for all that you share with us!
Thank you Karen Will do!😁
This type of video is extremely helpful. I hope you continue to make them. I love your answer for people who comment on being able to make the item themselves cheaper 🤣🤣
Thank you. I'll keep them going😁
Hi Christine, please don’t stop doing these videos as I find them very interesting and encouraging. I do local village markets and they’re not always good, so you have to take the good with the bad. I’ve learnt so much from your sewing tutorials and I also try to get fabric that would go to landfill but sometimes I do have to buy fabric for lining. My biggest outlay is paying for my table/space which can range from £5-£20 for 2-3 hrs but I try to put a ceiling of £15 and only 20 if it’s a real special event. I’m in the U.K. so it’s difficult to equate Sterling to dollars. Keep up the good work! BTW custom fabric labels are soo expensive here. Gx
Thanks Gerry. Those market stall fees can be so costly. I used to enjoy doing big fairs, but the expense has put me off😀
You are such an inspiration to so many. You’ll never know how many lives you have touched. Please keep it up.
Wow, thank you so much Carolyn😊
I enjoy all your videos no matter what. Enjoy hearing what you have earned. Gives me possibilities.
Thanks Esther😀
Yes, I too appreciate your journey of making and selling your products. The information is great for me as I am planning on making my income through this type of thing when I retire from my current job that I’ve been at for years doing alterations. 👍❤️
Thanks Elayne. You might be able to start adding them to your alterations space for potential customers to see😁
Thank you for being so transparent and sharing all of your knowledge.

Yes Christine please continue showing this kind of video. It's very interesting and it's good to see the results of your hard work. Thankyou for sharing your sales and product information, not many would. Love your videos. 😊😊😊
Thank you Janet. I used to be as secretive as other sellers, but I think that just sets us back, and makes us afraid to value ourselves😀
You are very generous to share all of your knowledge and the results of your hard work. I would love to see you continue sharing the performance numbers. Your are providing a valuable service to all of your viewers!
Thank you so much. I'll keep them coming😀

I hope people share and like your videos. You are such a great teacher. Thank you for all your hard work. You deserve 100k and higher ASAP 😊
Thank you so much Jan😁
It's very interesting to know what you've sold and what are your best sellers. Good to see the shopping bags are top of the list which is helping to eliminate those plastic bags.
So cold here today - which you could send me some 🌞 sunshine 🤣
Thanks Lesley. Here's a bit of sunshine for you🌞🌞
I fully enjoy and appreciate your openness about your sales. I'm not a "business" person at all. I've pretty much only sold on fb. I've done some fairs, (which I absolutely hate). I simply don't have the business sense to really make a go of it, but I certainly do appreciate those that do. Enjoy!
Thank you Sheila. Markets can be very hit & miss. They're extremely unpredictable😀
Please continue telling us about your sales and selling hints. It helps those of us who sell handcrafted items.
Thanks Roberta. I'll keep it up😀
Yes, Christine, please continue to report. Love your openness and generosity of information. 😊❤
Thank you Donna. I'll keep it up😀
You are very kind to share and be a valuable mentor to so many sewers. Thanks for all the videos you post! 😊❤
That's so lovely Kay. Thank you😀
I love that you are sharing this information. Most people don’t want to share as they fear losing out on sales. I enjoy watching all your videos. Keep providing all this valuable information.
Thanks Lisa. I think if we all shared more, we'd be less undervalued😀
Christine, thanks for sharing the top ten. It's helpful to know the volumes that make up the sales. Good business model.
Thank you Donna😀
Keep these coming. I appreciate hearing the progress reports and how you feel about continuing a certain item or not.
Thanks Rondi. It's helped keep me more accountable too😀
I enjoy hearing about your totals. As one considering a handmade business, it is motivating and encouraging.
Thanks Trinna. I'm pleased that you're enjoying them😀
I think your videos are fantastic. You are so generous to share your skills, makes and what your earnings. It is so
helpful to people like me, who sew at home and have no confidence even though I'm told I should make to sell. Maybe new year I will give it a go. Thank you
Give it a go Teresa. Confidence is something that I've been faking for most of my life. You can do it😁
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs thank you Christine
Love hearing in about your sales , please keep sharing
Thanks Cathy. I will😁
Yes, please keep going the way that you have been. I just started watching, and it's all been interesting, informative, and entertaining. I mentioned in other comments, probably on older videos, that the best teachers are on youtube. Thank you for being you and sharing it with us! Very well done! ❤
Thanks so much Marie. We're very fortunate to have TH-cam available as a teaching source😀
Thank you for sharing! I do a few craft events to help with keeping our heads above water. I’m so thankful for the items you share and how to create them. You are amazing!
Thank you Carol. I hope you have great success at your markets😀
Oh please, Christine, don't stop. I think it is wonderful that you can show people how they can make some extra money to help out in this economy. I am suppose to be retired (lol) but my pensions just barely cover so I returned to my love of crafting and I can easily match my pension income which makes live a lot easier and I have fun doing it. WIN WIN definitely. As you know I am one of your fans that count the days/hours until you have any video but especially these ones (I like to see how close I can come to guessing (I'm old, lol) Surprised about the towels & card holders but you have so many great products I know you have to plan your time. Haven't heard about the scrunchies lately, lol.
Hope you have a great New Year.😃😀
Thanks Judi. I have to say, if I didn't turn to alterations and selling my products, I'd have had to go find a "real job". It was a real saviour for me financially at the time. I haven't been making scrunchies lately. I just haven't had the time. 😀
I definitely want you to continue with your excellent videos!! I am so excited about this great resource - you are such a good teacher, and so easy to listen to! I have learned so much in the past year since I discovered your TH-cam channel, and I am grateful that you are so open-handed with your easy-to-follow instructional content! I have lots of rescued fabric, too, and had tried to figure out what to do with it all - just letting it sit for months (years!!) because I couldn't figure out how to use it. You have helped me get busy and really use it - I am headed to a large craft show on November 2, just about a week and half away now, with over 100 Supermarket shopping bags in a couple of sizes and many cosmetic bags, puppy poo pouches, and Kleenex pouches, among other things! I couldn't be doing this if it weren't for your help - so THANK YOU so much!!
That's so wonderful Marilyn. I really hope you have fantastic success at your craft show. 😀
You are such an inspiration! Please keep doing these videos. ❤
Thank you Kelly. I will😀
Love these update videos. It is encouraging for me to begin my own business.
That's fabulous Angela. Thank you😀
Love that you tell us that information.
Thank you Nita😀
Thank you for making this video, I really hope you will keep doing them. I’m just starting out on a hand sewing business and to know that you are successful at it is very inspiring 😀
Thank you Karen. Good luck on your journey😀
Total inspiration Christine, for the young and not so young .... Don't ever stop. Funny you said you hand the YT card to people that say: 'I can do that.... ' totally relate. take care and keep smiling 🙂
Thanks so much Juanita😁
Keep it coming Christine, I love watching your progress. Even if you only inspired one person to make to sell, it is worth it, for that person may go on the share the knowledge! Thank you
That's lovely Caroline. I really do hope more can share their knowledge😀
Great information so please continue to share it. By the way that sweater is beautiful and very flattering for you!
Thank you so much Jacki😀
I’m a new follower from the USA. This was very helpful in many ways-I have been collecting fabric samples for decades and have made some bags (not anywhere near as nice as yours), but never sold or even gave any away. My daughter-in-law recently moved in with us from Brazil and she learned to sew from her family’s business. She’s been wanting to do something to help with finances, and now I have an idea of what she might be able to do. I love your tutorials, and appreciate how generously you share your knowledge and experience. Wishing you continued success❤
Thanks so much Suzy, and welcome to the channel. This will be a great way for your daughter in law to contribute, and also get out and meet some new people😁
Hi Christine. You wine bottle bags went down a treat with my grand daughters teachers. Along with the wine inside. Other teachers are asking when my grand daughter is going to go into there class's 😂😂. A big hit and they are now being used for a selection of things x
haha, that's wonderful Avrill. I can see a little sideline coming up for you😀
Please keep doing videos. You were my inspiration to start making bags,purses.
And we do get fabric samples from furniture stores just like you! Thanks so much
That's lovely Carol. Thank you😀
🎉I love your breakdown every quarter and please keep on telling us. I also learned so much from your tutorials. Keep up the good work.😊❤
Thank you Ruth. Will do!😀
Thank you for sharing your sales information,I find it very interesting,I would love you to continue with it,well done on your sales that is brilliant.
Thanks Eve. I'll keep them coming😀
Yes, really enjoy hearing how and what you do. It is inspiring. I also make bags and things
Thank you Mary😀
You look so nice and bright this morning. Thank you for your videos from Tennessee, USA
Thanks you Trina. 😀
Yes! Please continue to share this type of information. I have been undercharging drastically. You have helped me understand my value.
Thanks Dana. I'll keep it up. I hope your new pricing structure is a success😁
Please, do continue to share! I just recently found you and your channel, but I have really enjoyed them! I am trying to start my own bag business and you have given me lots of ideas. I used to love to sew when I was younger and I want to pick it back up to make and sell products!
Thanks Melody. I hope your business goes well😀
