Love to sew? Sewing is rapidly becoming one of the lost arts, a fact which you can turn to your advantage if you have the skill. There are many people who don't fit "off the rack" sizes but don't have the skills to make alterations themselves. And then there are the people who know how but don't have the time. Another aspect of this home-based business would be repairing wear and tear injuries, such as broken zippers or rips in garments.
Besides alterations and repairs, you could also create and sew original pieces for those looking for one-of-a-kind fashions or sew to-order projects.
Pros: Sewing is creatively satisfying and you could work at home.
Cons: Parking and noise could both become issues with the neighbours with clients dropping off and picking off projects.
What You Need to Get Started With This Home Based Business Idea:
- A sewing machine and sewing supplies, such as thread, needles, etc.
- Advanced sewing skills.
- A separate, suitable room for greeting and dealing with clients.
- Suitable parking for clients.
