I do sell what I make. I don't keep an extensive inventory. I do 2 large shows a year, sell what I produce all year and have next to no inventory to start the next year. Pricing is very market/location specific. I do shows rather than other options as my customers know , get there early for the best selection. I don't like to do special orders. The customers know if they like it get it now. Plus I don't like the pressure of working to someone elses date of delivery .. enevitably something in my life will come up to add to the pressure. Back when I first started I did some orders , but its tough with fabric having a short selling cycle , if a customer likes the fabrics..and wants the same the likelihood that I can get the same fabrics again is slim. Additionally I found I don't like making the same thing twice... it feels like production work.
