If you are going to sell items, you must think long and hard about the cost of your fabric. You can not purchase regular price from anyone and make a profit - period. You might find a special focus fabric and buy just what is needed for the project and then fill in with 'regular' fabrics. You should spend a day going over fabric options and noting where and what to buy. Then watch for a deal (sale, coupon, free shipping if online). You also need to make one of the items from start to finish and time it. This will give you an idea of what to add to the materials cost. Then price what your area will accept. I know this sounds like a bit of work, but, if you want to make money (whether just to cover costs or to make a profit), you need to look at it in a business fashion. As mentioned by another post, you should also think outside the box. Often you can find fabric at thrift stores, you can use low thread count sheets for backings on quilts, you can use flannel or some blankets as batting in quilts. Think about where you can cut cost but not hurt the quality of your product. Good luck - and have fun with it!
