    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.

    * 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.
