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 KZbin 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

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you Pauline. That's so lovely😀

[@luvnotvideos]

This kind of information is invaluable! Please do continue to share. Others may not make the same products, but we do enjoy hearing others succeed and sharing in your journey!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks so much. I'll keep them coming😁

[@jackietoombs8982]

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.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I had to laugh at that Jackie, but some people can be quite mean. 😀

[@wendypjmama]

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 KZbin!!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

haha, thank you Wendy. I've really enjoyed hanging out with everyone too. It's been great for my confidence😀

[@lisacassio832]

I agree!😊

[@teresacleator_9937]

Thank you for sharing all your information. I am in S Africa and love your channel and projects.

[@pauladevine7051]

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.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Paula. It's been a real eye opener for me too😀

[@kellybrietzke9518]

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!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

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😀

[@sally-anneshotter9174]

Your transparency is so appreciated, and you are so right labels and qty of items makes such a difference. Here’s to 2024 ❤

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Sally-Anne. Labels were a game changer for me😁

[@nanniibee]

Yes please ... keep sharing your sales progress. Its very encouraging, especially when you share your prices as well. Love your channel ❤

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you. I'll keep it up😁

[@octoberorchards3117]

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!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you. I find it very helpful for me to refer back to as well😀

[@sallymartin581]

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.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I hope it proves a success for your son Elaine. Thank you😁

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 KZbin I would have given up by now...... Please keep doing everything you do 👍🙃

Thank you Carol. I will😀

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. 👍❤️

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Elayne. You might be able to start adding them to your alterations space for potential customers to see😁

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😁

[@loriharleman4420]

Please dont stop ! I have been thinking about selling my things and this gives me ideas and what I can expect !

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I won't stop Lori. Thank you😁

[@dianneswanlund3295]

I check KZbin 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!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

haha, Mum does the same. If I go more than two days without uploading a video, she calls to complain😁

[@fayeHBB]

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

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

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😊

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

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Give it a go Teresa. Confidence is something that I've been faking for most of my life. You can do it😁

[@teresaharris7894]

@@ChristinesHomeAffairs thank you Christine

[@gerrybford]

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

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Gerry. Those market stall fees can be so costly. I used to enjoy doing big fairs, but the expense has put me off😀

[@l.c.737]

I love these videos - yes, please continue & happy selling in 2024!!!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks LC. I'll keep it up😀

[@joycecaldwell2097]

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 !😄

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you so much Joyce😀

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.😃😀

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

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. 😀

[@SuzyOzone]

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😁

[@MJBJ-cb2jd]

Don't stop! It's impossible to know which video will be someone's first video. I love your attitude of generosity. It's refreshing! I've been wanting to take the plunge, or get my feet in, and long story short, the Lord got me two large bags of upholstery samples. I'm praying through doing this as for profit, or non profit. My church sponsors some great folks working with children in tough situations. Don't want to start with a big idea that peters out, but they have fabric businesses too. Thank you for being a new friend in sewing!!!

Christine, Thank you for sharing your creative talent with us. I enjoy knowing what people are buying, it helps with gift giving. I look forward to your videos. I will be visiting Australia next month, excited about that.🧡

That's so ecxiting Mary. I hope you enjoy your visit. Will you be in our neck of the woods?😀

Keep doing these round ups! I love the transparency & honesty of what you are doing. And I agree that variety of items helps draw people in -- I know not everyone will want what I make but the more options I show the better!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Lori. I'll keep it up, and yes, variety is certainly the key😁

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

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 KZbin 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!!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's so wonderful Marilyn. I really hope you have fantastic success at your craft show. 😀
