Is it legal to sell without a “business” in BC, Canada?

I don’t know where to search for this information, so here goes:
Farmer’s markets somehow get away with selling items without tax, but I’m wondering if I can sell things without being in a farmer’s market AND without being an official business.
There’s a couple things I want to do:
Order fabric from online, make clothes from this fabric and sell it.
Create first nations crafts (from nature) and sell it.

You can run any business under your own name. It’s called a sole proprietorship.

If you’re selling directly to the public, you’ll need a retail sales tax licence, though. Ask you member of the provincial legislature where to get one.
