Just concluded our local Oktoberfest, which included a craft show. There were two vendors selling appliquéd shirts and
sweatshirts. One had a nice textured pullover, which I would still call a sweatshirt, with two appliquéd hearts, for
$40.00. The color and fabric of the shirt and the colors in the plaid appliqué were very nice, maybe not worth the
price..... "mb from pa" <witch6020@yahoo.com> wrote in message

ago. Any ideas as to what I can do with them? I know I cannot applique them like you would with ones that are cut out
using freezer paper. I'm really not sure what to do with them. Any suggestions? Thanks Mary [/quote:b01a4161c6]

Congrats on the good experience Cindy! I was terrified when I did my first show, so much that I remember my hands were
shaking as I handed someone change from my first sale ever. I had Linda2 as my show buddy though and she's plenty
experienced in shows which helped a lot (she also had to twist my arm to go!). -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

turnout and not many vendors either, but it was really more of a little festival with entertainment (bad!) and food
(good!). It was my first time and I was so nervous! But, I had a lot of lookers and actually sold a bit, including the
first bracelet I ever made. I cleared enough to pay for the canopy I sent my son out for, lol. My mom was one of the
people running the festival and they had a tarp-like covering that was absolutely horrible. The wind kept knocking it
down. So, cell phone and son to the rescue! I got some very encouraging comments, even from one of the other jewelry
vendors. So, now to find some events in Virginia and try it again closer to home. Thanks for asking! On Sun, 6 Aug

passing on Halsteadbead.com for now. Most of my purchases are under $30 at a time for now. Maybe someday . . . Doing my
first craft/flea market type of thing next weekend. It's a little local festival near my mom. Tables are only $10, so
that should give you some idea of what the market will be. I've never tried to sell my stuff before but these people
pretty much all know my mom, so they'll be nice, lol. At least that's what I'm telling myself so I'm not so nervous.
Anyway, they are 10 hours away from where I live, so it's not like I have to face them every day, LOL. On Sat, 29 Jul

"manufacture" items from said fabric for resale...as in large quantities. One can generally make a few from
said fabric and not be in violation. marcella

I can see two possibilities. One is that they've written and received (probably for a fee) permission to do so. The
other is that they are breaking the law. :) -- Kathy A. (Woodland, CA) Queen of Fabric Tramps
