I MADE ALMOST $500 | First Market Vlog, Inventory, Pricing, and Final Breakdown!

[@bearscritter]

I am new to your channel and have subscribed. Dont ever let anyone bully you on your pricing! You know your customer base the best! I am 69 years old and I sew purses on my industrial machines. I was bullied on my prices and just told them MYOB!!! I crochet during the evening. I have been crocheting more than sewing since my 77 yr old hubby was diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer this past June, BUT we were told this past week he is in remission! Anyway I LOVE all your precious loveys and all the stuffies! Your work is impeccable! Keep going girl, you are AWESOME!!! 💜💜💜💜

[@SafariStitches]

@@bearscritter OMG this hats amazing that he is in remission! Such great news! And thank you for the kind words! It truly means so much to me! Thank you for subscribing 🫶🏻

[@christalespinosa1929]

Those dragons are stinking cute! Well, everything you make is cute. I will be doing my first craft show in Nov. and I just love seeing what everyone makes. I also appreciate when crafts post their pricing. I feel like mine and yours are very similar. Best of luck to your knew vlog. ❤❤

[@SafariStitches]

[@mdp3827]

New sub! Found u just browsing YT. You’re set up looked amazing! Your work is superb. I like your personality too. You come across lovely on camera so keep trying with the filming in public part. I crochet too in the UK. Good wishes for your new venture here. Look forward to more vlogs

[@SafariStitches]

@@mdp3827 aw thank you so much 🥺🥺 you just made my day! I’m actually originally from Surrey south of London! But I’ve lived in the US since I was 2.5 years old so I lost my accent. lol.

[@mdp3827]

@@SafariStitches I’m from Rugby initially but now live in Leicestershire. So happy I found you. Keep up the good work

[@Sabrina-jm4dc]

Would you mind to share more info about your tags?. Also, that 90 dollar octo is absolutely AMAZING. You are very talented and your prices make total sense.

[@SafariStitches]

@@Sabrina-jm4dc I absolutely can! I’ll show a close up in a future video, but I order my tags from vistaprint in large quantities to keep the costs down. I have my logo on the front with a QR code people can scan that goes to all of my links. The back is mostly blank but I list out contact info and my website links and there’s enough space to also write my prices on them.

[@debbieward-crochet]

Thank you for sharing.

[@SafariStitches]

Of course! Thank you for watching my video 😊

[@olivetom]

I stumbled across your channel tonight. Love your makes and look forward to more.❤❤

[@SafariStitches]

@@olivetom thank you!! Happy to have you! 🥰

[@SafariStitches]

@@sandrasanders9290 thank you so much! I’m so grateful that people are deeming me worthy of subscribing this soon 🥹 thank you for the kind words!

[@janettebolin2991]

Those are all so cute! I’ve been looking for a giraffe that I like and yours is adorable!

[@SafariStitches]

@@janettebolin2991 aw thank you! I have the pattern designer linked in the Google doc if you’d like to make one too! It’s one of my better sellers for sure

[@LudmilaHarris]

I really appreciate you sharing your price. I know we all live in different areas but it still helps me and others. Love your vlog, hopefully you will post more videos. Thank you

[@SafariStitches]

I’m happy to share anything that may help others! I’m only about a year into markets and actually selling my makes, so I’m still learning too and I find it super helpful to hear what others are doing as well! Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback 🫶🏻

[@heatherszenfulcrochet]

Omg love your ghosty table runner!

[@SafariStitches]

@@heatherszenfulcrochet ahh thank you! I think that came from TJ maxx or Marshall’s! I wanted to do something a lil spooky but still fun and colorful!

[@EmilyMartinez-z4u]

New sub! Love your content and plushies! I’m making mini whales right now!

[@SafariStitches]

Thank you so much! Welcome! I love making whales 🥰

[@bobbieknealing9427]

Just found you tonight. Look forward to more! Your link document link is broken, and I would love to see the patterns!

[@SafariStitches]

Oh no! Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I will see if I can fix it.

[@nefertitiben]

Paused at 7:00 to comment, hit the like button and subscribe because you mentioned books! Girl I cannot find the time to read coz of the crocheting! How do you balance them?

[@SafariStitches]

@@nefertitiben ahhh yay!! I started listening to audiobooks so I can listen to them while I crochet if I’m making something easier to follow or when I’m at work! But I also started to give myself 30 min to an hour to sit down and read a physical book too. It gives my brain a nice break from all the counting and stress!

[@nefertitiben]

@@SafariStitches that is so admirable! My books and kindle must be plotting to burn down my yarn stash at this point. I miss reading! Thanks for your video showing up at the right time reminding me to pause my crochet and read.

[@SafariStitches]

@@nefertitiben you’re welcome! Thank you for watching my video! I plan on doing some short videos about books and stuff on here to incorporate it a little here too 🥰

[@Pocketsnuggies]

Just found your channel. I got into this to make a snuggler and I haven’t done it yet. I’m intimidated for some reason. I did buy their book. Which kind of yarn do you prefer for them?

[@SafariStitches]

@@Pocketsnuggies I use bernat blanket for 99% of my snugglers because I like the size that they come out and they’re super soft. Just take your time when working through the patterns the first time and trust the process :)

[@Pocketsnuggies]

@@SafariStitches Thank you. 😊

[@cfalviso87]

All cute.

[@SafariStitches]

Thank you! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@absolutelykraftyllc275]

Do you have a link to the goggle docs so cute?

[@SafariStitches]

It is linked in the description, but it looks like my verification hasn't gone through yet, so it isn't clickable yet. Hopefully it will go through soon so the links will become clickable. I'm so sorry about that!

[@nancywhite7036]

I noticed you didn't have a lot of small stuff to sell. I sell mainly $5 and $10 plushy animals. Do you find that if there is not a lot of small plushy to buy, then they will buy the more expensive, bigger plushy???😊❤

[@SafariStitches]

@@nancywhite7036 I usually do $5 pocket pets (whales and octos), but I didn’t take them to this market because I added in a lot of new stuff and didn’t have space in my display. I find that even when I have them, my $15-30 plushies are the ones that sell the best for me!

[@bethferguson705]

Working on Mallard ducks 💚🧡🤎

[@SafariStitches]

@@bethferguson705 I LOVEEEE making mallards! If I can make it in mallard colors, it happens.

[@jasemeal7849]

Tam! So glad to find you here! I used to watch you on TikTok all the time. IDK if you don't do lives as much or I'm just missing them. Glad to see you here!

[@SafariStitches]

@@jasemeal7849 sadly I’m not live on there much right now (life’s a bit hectic) but hoping to get back to regular lives over there soon. So happy you found me here though! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
