Hi Victoria,
I love your purse. I do think it would sell at a craft fair. I was thinking of attempting to sell a few things at a craft fair and I read an article that said that you should triple your cost, so Winnie was about right with the $30 figure. If you google "What is my hard work really worth?" you'll probably see the article, or something similar.
Good luck, Donna

Hello Victoria and everyone else that reads this, I received my (smaller) version that you made today and it is just tooooo adorable. I went to lunch with my brother bc our SIL from Ca was in town. I had to carry this and my daughter and SIL loved it they both want one. I think this would be a HUGE hit on Etsy or anywhere else like a festival or flea market well maybe no flea market bc sometimes people expect to pay very little at those places. I just have to say Victoria , you did a great job making it and downsizing it for me. Thanks again hugs and love Winnie

Victoria, I'd like to add some input since I once looked into Etsy and have patterns free and for sale on Ravelry and Craftsy. Is your handbag going to be lined? People will possibly ask about that, and they like them lined, plus they hold up nicer if they are. For pricing, be sure to browse on there to compare other similar prices so you won't be way out in left field from everyone else. If prices vary a lot, then put whatever you want! Remember to deduct for any Etsy fees you might be paying, and good luck! Susan

Thanks Susan. No it isn't lined, but I've only made the one for myself and I have been considering lining it. I think I might also add some pockets inside or out or both haha. I plan on using it next weekend on a trip I'm taking and unless I use several "make-up" style bags, it will be difficult to find small things inside. I do have a few pieces of fabric that might work. I'll keep you posted. As to the listing, that's something I'll have to do later, after I get it perfected. I do appreciate you input though. I need all the help I can get. Victoria

Well, you did all the work, I was just adding some things I'd come across myself. I'm glad you didn't mind me jumping in, I figured that you knew I only meant well. Sharing our experience helps us help each other more, and I to appreciate any kind of advice or suggestions on my projects, any time! I am very impressed that you transferred a knitting pattern to crochet, wow, I don't think I'd be able to tackle that! Do you know know how to knit? Have a good trip this weekend!
