So, I started a new priest on another server, and decided to go with Skinning/Tailoring. I'm level 13 and have gotten to Tailoring level 34 already, just making bolts of linen.
The problem is that I'm pretty sure making bolts of linen will go grey before I can *start* making bolts of wool.
I don't need a lot of money, because I was gifted 25g. by a higher level character, and the leather and other stuff sells well enough. That said, if there are items that *do* sell better than others, I'd like to know. On my other character, I have alchemy and herbalism: I sell Swiftness Potions and Shadow Oils (and an occasional Elixir of Ogre's Strength, as well as any potions I just come across, as opposed to making myself), and then just sell the herbs. I'd like to know if there was something similar for tailoring, especially at lower levels, or if I should just make what I need to level and vendor it, and then auction any additional bolts of linen.
As I said, I'm not looking for the best way to earn lots of money (I know the way to do that is two gathering professions), just want to make the best of the professions I do have (and the skinning is pretty easy to figure out).
Thanks to any who reply.

bags
With linen, I think you can only make 6-slot ones, which are easy enough to get from a General Goods vendor. Do they still sell at the Auction House? I know I personally have never bought anything smaller than 10 slot bags at the Auction House...
But thanks for pointing that out: I had forgotten about the higher level bags.

Sorry, but as I was leveling my tailoring, I didn't find that anything but bags sold so most of my items were sent to my enchanter for DEing. Those enchanting mats can sell well and compensate for any loss of cloth.
nothing in tailoring really sells except bags. until you are alot closer the max 375 level.
if you dont want to make bags to try to sell...(6 slots dont sell), make anythign you can of green quality or better. take the greens you make to level up your tailoring and have them disenchanted. take the DE mats and enchant your gear or sell those on the AH.
thats about the only way to get any return at low level profession leveling.

Thanks to everyone who replied!
Before reading all the responses, I decided to try selling the brown (green, +1 spirit) and white (green, +1 intelligence) linen robes. I just made one of each and put them on the AH. They actually sell decently on my server (vendor would give around 1s, and I got 4s immediately). I bumped my price to 5s, and those sold just as fast. So, I'll try 6s next. The 6-slot bag is still unsold, though, so I might not make any more of those (aside from ones I want to make for my alts and friends).
I did make an alt to do Enchanting, so if the robes stop selling, I can send them to the alt, along with any other green items that don't sell. I also gave the alt leatherworking, so I could, at the very least, turn the leather scraps I occasionally get, into light leather. Light leather sells a lot better than scraps, so this will be useful.
Thanks again!

Those items you listed probably disenchant in to 1-2 strange dust. Enchanters will probably spend up to 12-15 silver for that opportunity. This of course depends on Strange Dust prices on your server.
Even though you are not an enchanter, I suggest you keep up with the enchanting mat prices. Auctioneer and Enchantrix addons will help you with this.

I do have those add-ons, actually, just don't really know how to use them that well. I don't really understand what all the different calculations are and what they mean in practical terms.
But thanks for the suggestion: if nothing else, I'll send the next ones I make to my enchanter and see how much the enchanting mats sell for in real life. And if they do better, well, I'll go with that.
Thanks for the additional information!

There's very little reason to choose tailoring before level 60. 25G may seem like a lot right now, but its going to cost you hundreds--if not thousands--to get tailoring up to 375.
Drop tailoring for mining or herbalism, then pick it up at 60 and drop skinning (be sure to save 3 or 4 stacks of rugged leather). Without leatherworking, skinning is really a lackluster gathering profession in Outland.

There will be a button to push to scan when you are at the auction house. You should try and do this daily if you can. That will build up your database of every item sold. The tool tip will then show what things typically sell for.
I started an enchanter this morning. Bought a pair of pants at the auction house for 10s. Got lucky and got 2 magic dust when I disenchanted it, which I promptly listed for 25s on the auction house. The nice thing about enchanting mats is there is no deposit to list for auction. You only pay the 5% fee when it actually sells. Now you can see why people will pay for items you create. If there is a profit to be made, someone will buy it.
Hope this helps.

The other thing that sells well is bolts of cloth. Most people wait until lvl 70 to power level tailoring (as everyone suggested you do in earlier posts). Guess what - they need bolts of cloth to level. So they buy them. Usually, they have a ton of money, so it sells pretty good.
I guess powerlevelers don't want to sit around for 2 hours while making bolts of cloth.

Later On I grinded the tailor pattern Robes of Arcana only found in the tower N in Alli territory outside were Night elfs train Darkshore I think.
As a horde was annoying to get there and went up and down the tower for 45 mins before drop. But now I can make those , there is alot of Locks now playing as they are really useful in outland.
But this goes for any pattern not widely know. Tailor isnt a useless skill until 60 , My Lvl 50 priest has 360 tailor skill , you need lvl 50 to go past 300. Trained in outland just bought a port there from a mage.
6 slots bags are always online as this is a good skill up and easy. But they usually sell for 3 s buyout 5s as the vendor price is just slightly higher.

Thanks to all, again! I have a lot of characters that I play regularly, because I get bored easily. I tend not to grind, prefer not to farm, and give all my characters different specs and professions. So, that's the main reason for tailoring. I just did a lot of alchemy/herbalism, which is probably my favorite combination, and was sick of it, so I chose something else I thought would be useful for a priest. I do miss my mana potions, though! So, I would like to keep tailoring, if possible, especially since the leather is selling well and since I now have a leatherworking alt to make all the scraps into leather.
I know that bolts sell well: I've sold them on other characters after they found them fishing or in chests. As I stated in my original post, I was worried about what to do when linen bolts went grey and wool bolts weren't available yet. So far, I've gotten a lot of good tips.
I will try to scan more often, but I'm still not sure how to use the enchanting part. It seems like there are three different "enchanting values", and I'm not sure what they all mean exactly or how accurate they are.
And thanks for the tip on the Robes of Arcana and other less common patterns. I will definitely keep my eye out!
