Making stuff for fairs does tend to take the joy out of sewing I think although the buzz if you sell lots is great! I really should be making stuff for my xmas fairs but am actually enjoying making new stuff for my present challenge. Can be a bit more creative.

I didn't leave a comment on your original post asking for opinions about whether to do the fair or not...I didn't want to be a downer by saying that I didn't think you should...but I did vote in your poll...Fairs are just so iffy.From what I have observed from Etsy, patterns are the way to go...patterns, giving classes, basically selling information - that's the way to make a little money...sewing actual garments is nice but because of the mass produced competition we will never be able to charge a price that would make it truly worth our while. Amanda, your patterns are really good...I recommend them to my sewing students and to anyone who asks about a garment that I have made from one. You are a very talented designer and most importantly a good and caring mom...so, good for you for choosing to work in a way that is good for you and not making you and your life crazy.
