Are you crafty, if so, what do you make? 
Do you sell it - and is it worth the effort to sell it?
(Don't post links to selling sites, it's against forum rules. Names/ info is ok, we can Google.)
I enjoy the process of finding stuff to repurpose and enjoy the finished product but it seems like too much hassle to sell them.  |

Fairly.
I’ve made lots of planters and various garden paraphernalia in the past but I’ve never tried selling it despite being told it’s all very saleable.
I just don’t want to deal with more people. Most people are fucking annoying.

As you know I crochet and embroider. The current trend for crochet clothing and bags makes me think I could make some cash but pricing it at a level people would be prepared to pay would mean I'd be working for around 10p an hour at most. |

Believe it or not, I find people annoying too. Hence why the thought of interacting with buyers makes me ugghh. |

Agree, I dont know how people make a living from selling handmade stuff unless it's in Covent Garden. 
I enjoy making the stuff, similar to visiting a show or a museum etc. So if all the sale cost covered was to buy more materials then I'd break even. The 'cost' of my time to make it was a pleasure anyway. |

I would probably think of it that way but then you'd get Mrs Stuckupbitch coming back and saying
"Excuse me you're asking £1:50 for this lined, cotton, crochet bag that took you days to make and I notice that one of the stitches I'd slightly off centre. Would you take £1?"
I wouldn't do well in prison so I choose not to sell stuff  |

I enjoy making fabric covered notebooks. I learnt the basics of book-binding on a trip to Florence years ago. I don't sell them. They're purely for my pleasure. I think it started with my fetish of always buying an unusual/decorative notebook in every country I visited |

Compare the price of your one off hand made bag to a machine made mass produced designer bag.Go for the "Artisan" market.You might be surprised. |

If your hobby is crochet, then the 30 hours are your pleasure time enjoying your hobby. If you sold some of your pieces, they would be pure profit as you would have bought the materials and invested the time on your hobby anyway.
If nothing else it would go towards the materials and maybe someone could enjoy owning a mrs nc original. |

I used to do photo restoration. It started as a hobby and I wish it stayed there. The amount of times I spoke to people saying the process was time consuming only to hear it would be worth it to get an image of mum, dad or whoever.
They wanted the work done but always so reluctant when it came to pay.
I used a sublimation printer and explained the prints were not cheap but the best quality you could get. I made nothing on the prints and people were still reluctant to pay cost price. |

You're right , I do enjoy it as a hobby. I'd sooner give things away than sell them because unfortunately people rarely value something unless it costs them money. It's the careless way people suggest that I 'could' make money from it when actually I couldn't |

I saw a crochet bag in marks and Spencer that was just shy of £40. I thought considering the time it took to make that was cheap. |

Yep. A colleague once asked me to make her a dress from the pattern of one I was wearing. She generously offered to pay for the fabric and to let me keep the left over thread and interfacing. I didn't want money just acknowledgement of time spent and skill involved. |

Machine crochet or far east sweatshop,a totally different animal to your handmade work.without being snobby you get a different class of people in the Artisan market,not the clowns I usually encounter that think Bargain Hunt is the real world.There is a big market for handmade green/sustainable non mass produced stuff.I know people who do it as either a primary or second income. |

I have tried various different things and go through phases. So I can knit and crochet a bit, mostly toys, although I've made the odd scarf/hat. I always make my own Xmas cards. I also decorate birthday cakes for family. I do get people asking about whether I would do any of it to sell but asides from how long it takes (at least 7 hours on the last cake I did), I can be a bit of a perfectionist at times and the stress of ensuring it was perfect for someone who was paying would be too much for me. |

"As you know I crochet and embroider. The current trend for crochet clothing and bags makes me think I could make some cash but pricing it at a level people would be prepared to pay would mean I'd be working for around 10p an hour at most. "
I crochet too although having to stop because my wrist is paining now but I could never have sold items and actually get anywhere near their worth, I once tallied up a double blanket, just a basic granny square blanket and the yarn along came out to triple figures without adding my time on that too (two weeks of work on it)
Buying handmade crochet for it’s actual worth in 2023 is a huge luxury for anyone to afford, most can’t and I wouldn’t expect most to be able to either
I gave things as gifts where I knew they’d be cherished but if others asked for items I’d show them were to learn crochet for themselves, oddly they didn’t bother when they learned how much work goes into a wip |

I genuinely didn't you could get machine crochet! I like to use cotton or wool yarn so think I'll stick to making things for myself, friends and family. Once a hobby becomes a business most of the pleasure disappears |

You can’t, only knitting can be machine produced, crochet isn’t possible to replicate with a machine, they tried, it’s knit looking similar when it’s frogged
And agreed completely, making amigurumi as a gift is very difficult to a commissioned item, it’s a different ballgame altogether |

Yup, I think the best I saw was a ball gown dress, was absolutely stunning and they priced it thousand’s because of how intricate it is, worth it but I couldn’t afford it myself so I wouldn’t create to charge others |

Then you wouldn't be doing it right.The only deadlines if any you make for yourself,make them realistic.Some things (or because of other aspects of someone's life) are only suitable as a second income.I turned my interest full time in 2007,haven't worked a day since.A lot of people went full time during COVID and never went back to the day job. |

What is irrelevant.Some sell volume at a small margin,others go for fewer at a higher margin.Some sell at big events,some go for smaller or do more.Thats without considering an online presence.
Those I know who have taken the plunge:-Cakes,Sweets&Chocolate,Candles,
Soap,leather work,repaired/upcycled vintage clothing,upcycled lighting,jewellery(both precious metal and costume),ready mixed herb/spice blends,non alcoholic liqueur,transfer printed pottery,hand thrown pottery,gift and greetings cards. |

I work with wood in my spare time. I made a cabin from scratch via some instructions I got off the web.
I crafted all the fixtures inside it which I’m particularly proud of. I want to now turn my eye to furniture making perhaps tables.
Boring I know but I like the feel of working with wood and after my stressful day job it centres me. |

That is a tough thing to price."
It would be if I was trying to make a living. As it is, it was nice that someone appreciated my work enough to pay for it.
I mostly use pre-owned materials, so the majority of the "cost" is my time.

Yeah I don't think I could do something as a specific 'order'. I'm too random with the things I make. I start off with an idea and the finished result is often quite different. |

Yes, I do frame them. I use "flexi hoops" - type of frame for embroidery with a hanging loop - and buy frames from charity shops.
I can't justify the cost of paying for professional framing. |

My other half does diamond painting, and she produces her own artworks for people to purchase as well as personal work like family portraits. |

Small sized tables are popular,kitchen chopping boards from offcuts laminated together.Theres a guy who fits fire doors who uses his offcuts to make full size butchers chopping blocks on a table frame. |

That's different, crochet jewellery. I like to see unusal crafts or unusual things made with traditional crafts.

Resin river tables. To get them right takes a lot of time and effort. Not sure people are likely to pay a couple of grand for them which is what the materials and effort would justify. But they look cool if you get the right timber. |
