Here is my shirt towel for kitchen, cut out two 12" long fabrics x 8" wide for sleeves, stitch side together right side to right side, cut out a neck opening 4" x 2" wide - Insert each half of small hand towel into bottom of shirt - pull thru neck opening - (leave the neck open to stitch in the end of each towel), after you have stitch both towels into the inside of shirt - then close up neck using bias binding, and embellish if you like with button and lace, ribbon, etc., [ATTACH=CONFIG]450160[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]450161[/ATTACH]

There are a lot of great ideas already suggested below, but I just did a craft fair in Nov. and I sold a lot of my placemat sets, plus Christmas wall hangings. If you want to pump up the volume on the placemats you could add coordinating napkins. Good luck at the flea markets.

Little coin and makeup bags or how about a mixer or toaster cover? I would love to come across a booth with sewing accessories made already. Like sewing machine covers or travel handwork bags. Connecting threads has a free pattern in the 12 days of Christmas freebies you might like. Called a pincushion bag.

I sell my items and it seems the less expensive items sell very good. Purses, placemats, totes, tissues holders, aprons, adult bibs, baby blankets and bibs. Hats also sell good but time consuming to make and some are difficult. I also make childs aprons, potholders and table runners. Kitchen towels with applique or designs on them.
