At markets I sell to my audience expectations. For example at a Fine Art Fair I will sell my metal enameled pieces and more expensive items. If I do a craft fair then I sell my crafts- the items that it doesn't take me as long to make- for example garden art and spoon rings that I hammer out and my little owl and cat necklaces- fun stuff= no buy sell!! That is a no no for me. As far as your flea market- you can still do it and make money but bring the lower prices items that you can knock out quickly from material that isn't expensive for you. I make as much at my craft shows as I do the fine art- sometimes more! I just have to sell more.

Great sewing tutorial love your ideas on the layered effect of the butterfly enjoyed watching show your doggie the next time 😊

Really enjoyed watching you put your shirts together. I use the double sided interfacing on my letters and t-shirts- gives it some body and makes it easier to cut-also holds it in place when sewing. I found a Nirvana t shirt today. You better believe I will put good use to it- it's black and will look great on a black and white flannel. Do you have much luck with selling them at your markets? I love making them but they are a hard sell and take a lot of time to make. My price point is about 28.

I love upcycling, so I'm watching. :) RE cutting the jacket back, my only thoughts are if the fabric you added is a much lighter weight, then I would sew it on top rather than cut it out. The reason being is I'd want the same wind or weather protection as the rest of the jacket, and light weight fabric wouldn't give you that. But it looks awesome either way. :)

Great job, I loved them all, especially the lace butterfly shirt!

Oh my- watching these market videos gives me anxiety- I did markets for 30 years!! The wind, the storms, the kids breaking stuff, the dogs peeing all over my table skirts, the people asking insane questions about customs- like wanting to pay 10 bucks and have me hand deliver 1 hour away. You name it. I had a woman bring back a custom necklace I had made 20 years earlier!!!!! Girl, I have stories....... and yes, you guessed it- I have two more to go until the end of the year. But whew... they are indoors thank you Jesus.

Here is an idea- new for you to try. On the pockets put a stencil and then squeegie some soft scrub with bleach- lift the stencil and then let it process- will give you some cool designs on our pockets. If the soft scrub is too liquid for you- put a thickener in it- medium or even some boiled corn starch.

I love your upcycling! I do a lot now myself. I have that t shirt with the mushrooms!

I wish people would bring cash with them to art/craft events. I take square but if I don't get a good signal it's very frustrating. I love cash- wham, bang, customer has product and they are moving on. I hate standing around for 10-15 minutes messing with the app when it sticks or I can't get it to work.

Very nice upcycle shirt very cool patches...

You do realize when you bleach material the threads will get thinner causing them to split !

Hi azure daisy

❤

I love these. Nice job. Another question the iron pad thing what is it called and the glue stick what is the name of that.Keep going sweetie. I think and this is just me but I like things that are not perfect.

Fun! Do you throw them all in the washer together or separately ?

I. enjoyed your latest video. Keep up the wonderful imaginative embroidery.

Hi Michelle, I just recently came across your videos and I’m really enjoying the upcycling process 😊 The frayed edges of the denim jacket are so fun. In retail clothing they refer to that as distressed denim and/or frayed edges 😊

Wonderful creativity! Where do you get the sayings/quotes that are printed on fabric?

I hear ya lol I'm 57 and I refuse to make anything perfectly straight, Every thing I do is wonky including the quilts. Try watching Dave's craft room. I love how he just wings his quilts and they turn out amazing.

❤ TFS

Such talent, patience and imagination ..all made with love.

Try to keep a stiff upper lip. Some days are just off. And like you said stay positive even when everything seems stacked against you.

I am also just now jumping on the Upcycling wagon. Love seeing you shirts.

Loved your rant! Great craft ❤

You can have fun and be perfect!

Great job! I love that you are giving new life to old Tees and flannels!

You win some, you lose some. Maybe do a video showing your website? Either way, keep up the good work Michele! 🩵

Your video views are very limited. Because videos are not SEO, if you SEO the videos then the video views will increase day by day. One of the goals of all KZbinrs is to increase views and subscribers, so if you want to reach your goals, you need to solve a problem with videos.
