Where is the best place to get craft insurance from?

I'm a SAHM with a sewing & embroidery machine and I want to start selling bits I make on Etsy and eBay.

Ian Wallace insurance was recommended to me but they're £265. How do people do it and make any money at all? I'm not deluded into thinking it'll be a huge money maker but I'd rather not be out of pocket.

Any advice?

What do you want the insurance to cover?

I have PL insurance to cover me for doing markets. It's £70 a year.

I put PL as 5 million. The only real additional bit I think was my machine which is worth £3500. My home insurance say it's covered as long as it's not used for business purposes but once I sell something it won't be covered by them.

I doubt I'll be doing markets my first year. It's not the best picture but I'll upload my quote and any advice would be very welcome. Thanks all who respond

Looking at it again the cover for my machine takes it up by £115, I also covered my mobile for £22 so the actual insurance is just over £100 so maybe not that bad 🤔
