If yes, this post has some information and guides for you.
If I ask why you’re choosing sewing or fashion, your answer could be –
– You’re looking for means of generating side income. Either from home or you eventually plan making it bigger. This is a good enough reason to consider starting a side business. We are in the era of multiple streams of income.
Why sewing? Maybe you have deep interests in fashion. Or you just don’t know why, you just like it. Sewing is a trending business – Always trending.
To start a sewing business, you do not need too much capital. You can start with a small budget and work your way up to the top.
Start with the essential tools and equipment. Don’t Invest in every fancy equipment, buy the ones you need urgently. Some equipment will only result in tying down your capital.
Get a good sewing machine. How do you know one? We should have an old post that talks about it on this blog. There will be a revised edition soon.
Set it up and start working from your small space.
Before this, triple check your finishing skills. Customers may come easily, little issues can turn them off especially in this sewing and fashion business.
Make your jobs speak for you.
Start by designing clothes that will attract more customers to you for yourself. You are first contact person, they will look up to you.
Keep practicing all the styles you can think of now. Use yourself as the experiment, it’s safer than using customer’s clothes for experiment.
Get the essential sewing materials. While learning or training, you would have noticed some supplies you’re always using eg bias, threads, multiple needle sizes, different Scissors, trimmings, fusibles- stay (different ttpes), zippers etc
Starting your business won’t be difficult if you start by working with your budget.
Make a list and sort in order of priority.
Start with that one client and give it all it takes .
