I think you could make a living of this. If you can crank out 160 of them a month, which is roughly 8 per day, I think you could sell these for $20 each. $19 profit if you do it all yourself. Just gotta make it trend on whatever social media. Eventually the orders will drastically outpace your production, but financially I don't see the business as being profitable if it tries to scale to demand. It is absolutely a small business, but I think as a 1 person business it's a viable highly profitable business.

That would be amazing, but I'm not very good at the whole social media thing :'c I'm trying to figure out how to sell them just to make a little extra income since I'm not really able to work. I haven't gotten much engagement on the Instagram posts I've made. I'm thinking about getting a booth at a local flea market or something. I'm also typing up the patterns as I make them and thinking about selling those on Etsy or somewhere? I don't know. I don't really have anything concrete
