DD is a constant stitcher, she always has a needle and thread in her hand. She started making items to sell at craft markets but gave up after a few years. She rarely covered her stall fee. We helped her several times and found people came into craft fairs, looked around, examined her goods, said 'Oh, I could do that, you have just made it from........' and walked on. This was not particular to her but applied to most of the rest of the stall holders.
She gave up and went into antiques trading instead. We do this with her and in our first day antique trading at a big show in a blizzard we sold more goods than two years of craft sales, and covered our costs for the first time.
