And of course the lovely tote bags should certainly sell well.
If you sew clothing as well as quilts, people are always looking for somebody to hem up their pants, sew name patches on uniforms, etc.
Good ideas, thank you. I just recently bought patterns to make walker totes and clothing protectors (adult bibs) I've also made some reversible aprons to sell at craft shows along with christmas ornaments. Aside from the sewing aspect for income, we just recently started selling items at swap meets and seem to do pretty good. I also do some LA quilting for others. Not getting rich, but every little bit helps.
