I’m already market-prepping!!! I want to make bigger items that won’t cost a lot(for the seller) and require little sewing. Do you have any recommendations/patterns?

I’ve sold a jumbo candy cane for $95, and a 70 inch snake for $70. Those are my two biggest items that have sold so far. I had the snake through a few markets, but the candy cane sold the first market I brought it to! So I think how they sell depends on what kind of foot traffic a market gets, what kind of customer base the market attracts. I would focus on whatever you know you can make at high quality, so the potential customers can see it’s worth the price. And make sure it’s something you won’t lose interest in halfway through (if you’re anything like me… finishing projects can be hard if it’s not something I’m enjoying).
Even if they don’t sell quickly, large items can be great to draw attention to your booth! They can be eye catchers that draw people in who then make other purchases. So make sure to have a good selection of items under $15 as well for those people.
Hope this insight helps you not stress too much about what exactly you choose to make. The snake pattern I used was free, and the candy cane is my own pattern (but if your market is after the holidays that’s not super helpful).

Found the snake pattern I used if you’re interested in trying that out. (After the head I basically just kept going till it was as long as I wanted, I didn’t follow the whole entire pattern exactly)

Some ideas are mini octopi, mini bees (that you might find in @CrochetCutesyCreations shop), and I have a mini panda pattern.
