My belts are £45 and upwards now. I have spent the last three years trying to make a living from making with supply teaching actually bailing me out.
I'm giving up and going back to being a hobby maker next year. Lots of hobby makers in the UK and eBay has made getting people to understand that paying myself £7 per hour (when I can get £27 as a supply teacher) isn't really taking the pi55 (which I have been accused of several times).
I've just sold a Leatherman pouch that took me the best part of a day for £40 because I'm scrabbling for money to pay for car repairs to get me to a show in October.... I really don't see why people would want to do it... Angst.... despair more like it. Roll on the days I can just go to work again.
