Turn Your New Sewing Skill Into Cash…
Do not be afraid to turn your New Sewing Skill into cash. Learning this simple skill takes practice and a good sewing machine, but you would be surprised at how many people don’t know this skill.
Once you have “mastered” this skill (proficient at least) if you find you have a passion for sewing, you can earn money sewing for others.
Being skilled at sewing could lead you down a path to profit off your new skill and earn extra income. Many good tailors and dressmakers today sharpened their skills over time by practice.
Supporting local business is always important, but when you can do it yourself, why not?!
Some of the ways I have made money…
Some of the ways I have made money is by helping a co-worker hem up some of her pants and skirts. Show off your new set of skills and let people know around the office that you can help. You would be surprised how many people don’t know how to sew.
Take this chance to be that person to step in and help. Call local tailors or dry cleaners to get an Idea of how much to charge. I usually cut that price down and explained to my co-worker that I could do it cheaper than “that place.”
Make sure you have the right color thread and get started, that’s it! or you can do projects for people like the t-shirt quilt. For this, you can charge whatever you want. A t-shirt quilt is a custom job so charge what you would like. It all depends on what they are willing to pay.
Your skill set is something that will only improve with time and practice. There is nothing wrong with getting paid for your set of competencies. There are countless projects you can get good at and sell. What are you waiting for?
