10 Fabric Crafts That Bring in $500+ Weekly
I’ve built companies, managed capital, and if there’s one business model I respect—it’s the kind where raw materials cost pennies and resale value multiplies like a bull market. Fabric crafts sit in that zone. With low production cost and emotional purchase behavior, creators routinely generate $500–$2,000 weekly selling handmade goods both online and locally.
1. Custom Tote Bags
Cost: $3–$6 • Sell: $15–$30
Sustainable = trending. High turnover item.
2. Quilted Throws
One quilt $60–$250+ depending on detail.
Three a week → strong cash flow.
3. Premium Pillow Covers
Fabric+zipper cheap, perceived luxury high.
Bulk home décor buyers boost volume.
4. Pet Bandanas
Pet owners spend emotionally, not logically.
Top sellers hit $800–$1,200/week in holidays.

Final Word From a Man Who Studies Markets, Not Luck
Fabric crafting isn’t hobby economics—it’s scalable income with healthy margins and unlimited branding potential. Pick one craft, produce consistently, sell aggressively, and treat it like a micro-business, not a weekend pastime.
