I know it sounds early, but if you've ever done fall or Christmas craft shows, you know that July is actually the perfect time to start planning and building inventory. I'm thinking about focusing some upcoming patterns and classes on projects that sell well at fall and Christmas markets, and I'd love your feedback. If I created more craft show focused patterns, what would you most like to see? Vote for the one you'd most like to see! And if there's something not listed, tell me in the comments. 👇 Let's start preparing now so we're not panicking in October! 😄🎄🧶
