Microwave bowl holders have sold well for me, as well as quilted potholders.

Seems most craft shows around me died 10-15 years ago.

How do you imagine it attaching to your waistband? I like the idea just wondering how it would work.

i just made myself a change purse using this video the hinge was cheap
said to cut fabric 4.5 wide i would do take an 1/8 or 1/4off as it was hard to scrunch to get hinge to close very fast

I saw some ready-made pouches of varying sizes that had a "loop" that connects to the body of the bag by a strong magnet. Make the pouch/bag. Attach an appropriate length straight piece with the magnet on the end and the other inside the pouch/bag. The "loop" then can go over your waistband or a bike handle or whatever you want to attach it to. I have no idea where to find such magnets but would probably check out JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby or maybe Harbor Freight?

Then the comment about craft fairs not being as popular. I think some people attend to get ideas rather then the product itself.

Remote holder. We made the one that goes under the chair cushion then over the side of the chair.

* A set of potholders - then sew a patch of same fabric on a white dish towel to make a set- label it “teacher gift”.
* Sew patches of fabric on a white dish towels. I would make a set of 3 and use 3 different but coordinating fabrics.
* Receiving blankets - Missouri Star has a tutorial on “self binding” ones. I suggest 2 in a package
* Unusual baby bibs - I’ve seen made with red handkerchiefs & denim for boys & same for girls but use pink instead of red with denim. Also trim girls with lace. Hang them up to display if possible.
* Make a couple of Fidget Mats (for Alzheimer’s patients) & see how they sell. Label them so people know what they are.
And I agree with Jingle, craft shows/bazaars are not what they used to be. I think everyone is saturated.
