My wife had a stall at a Christmas craft fair yesterday selling the items she makes as part of her fabric business. Another stall was selling fully lined bags for £3. The material cost must have been at least that, meaning that the stall holder/crafter was not costing for her time. If you make things to sell as a hobby, you should still charge for your time, otherwise you devalue other crafter's work.
