These 3 Etsy shop owners have each sold hundreds of cloth face masks since the pandemic started. (via CNBCMakeIt)
I have been an Etsy seller since March of 2008. With exception to most of 2019, my creative work as an Etsy seller has been my full-time job since 2009.My shop is a place to find useful goods that one might appreciate on an everyday basis. I focus on natural fibers and leather, but enjoy many projects using varied materials, from wood carving to beeswax candles.I started making masks at the end of March, as the reality of a pandemic was starting to set in here in our coastal town.
With so much new energy around me making masks, I decided to put some up in my shop. Almost as soon as I made them available for general purchase, my studio became a full-time mask-making space. The demand has been extraordinary. In one month's time, I have made about 400 masks, mostly through my shops, some as donations and a handful of gifts.As orders arrive I make a list of size and fabric preferences.
There are many steps to these little masks and the details are important. It means a lot to me that these fit and feel comfortable for the wearer. I know we are all trying to feel a little more safe in an unusual situation. My masks cost between $20 and 25.I have been so moved by making masks and relating to my customers in this unique time. It took me by surprise a bit, the feelings it brought up and how meaningful it has been to to be able to provide a need during this time.

Is It OK to Thrift Online? Etsy Sellers Discuss How the Pandemic Has Affected Their BusinessesI’m weak. When social distancing ordinances were first put into place, I knew there were two things I was going to genuinely struggle without, because I am an entitled jerk who enjoys a certain consumerist standard of living: concerts and thrift stores. Live music has found a quick fix in intimate Instagram performances, but thrifting feels impossible. The hunt for a good piece is transfixing and potentially rewarding; shopping online simply does not give me the same sort of rush. But when 2 a.m. rolls around on a school night, my mind wants only one thing: to find the vintage fits I’d normally cop at a Goodwill for $7.\n
